"Pledging as a first semester freshman was a rewarding experience. I learned about the little things like writing professional emails or dressing properly, and bigger things like professionalism and brotherhood. The wealth of knowledge and advice that the fraternity contains has been invaluable to me as a freshman who is just learning the ropes about business."
-Alex Yamamoto, Recently Initiated Freshman (BU 2014) - Zeta Class
"Simply put, Alpha Kappa Psi trained and provided me with the communication skills to be confident during both interviews and work presentations. Yet even more so, it was through my membership in this Fraternity that I gained the passion for business that has been a catalyst for the start of my career. Fellow Brothers challenged me to explore my interests and enhance my understanding of the business world and the connections that I have made will undoubtedly travel with me wherever my career takes me."
-Michael Goulart, IBM (BU 2010) - Alpha Class
"AKΨ has given me the friendships of a lifetime, from people around the world. The fraternity has also given me the opportunities to gain confidence, patience, and determination, absolute necessities in the business world. Looking back, AKΨ is an experience I cannot regret."
-Winnie Du, Goldman Sachs (BU 2010) - Founding Class
"As an international student, I was intimidated and astounded with the sheer size of Boston University and wanted to find my "fit/niche" to with people of common interests. That fit was alpha kappa psi with its wealth of knowledge and invaluable experience gained within the brotherhood. Amongst such amazing brothers with an array of interests, a passion for business, and the incredible drive to succeed, Alpha Kappa Psi has given me the ability to excel in ways I could never imagine – personally and career-wise."
-Karan Misra, International Student (BU 2012) - Epsilon Class
"Alpha Kappa Psi has shaped me to be a professional leader. I have learned so much from the various positions I have held in the NU Chapter and gained so many different leadership skills from delegation and organization to transparency and clarity of communication. Alpha Kappa Psi has taught me that various leadership roles require different leadership styles, but all require a respect that can be gained only by putting the needs of those you are leading before your own. Alpha Kappa Psi has taught me that in order to progress in the professional world as a leader, one must take an interest not only in himself or herself, but rather in her peers and her organization as a whole."
-Radhika Patel, Junior in the School of Management (BU 2012) - Delta Class
"Before rushing for AKΨ during my sophomore year, I was unsure of how to carry myself in a professional setting. AKΨ has taught me everything about professionalism--from dress, to interviewing skills, to networking. I have also gotten resume help, job referrals, and professional advice from brothers. As a senior, I can easily say my professional skills that I will take with me to a future employer are attributable to AKΨ."
-Alyssa Peltzer, Senior in the School of Management BU 2011 - Beta Class
"As a transfer student, I was familiar with college life but was eager to learn what it meant to be an active member of the BU community. The Alpha Kappa Psi brotherhood not only allowed me to adapt to Boston University but gave me a stronger connection with my classmates and peers than I would normally have otherwise. Being a part of the brotherhood, I have truly found my niche and feel as though I have been a student at BU from the start."
-Alex Scribner, Boston University transfer student BU 2013 - Zeta Class
"Being in Alpha Kappa Psi is definitely a responsibility, nonetheless; it never ceases to bring a whole new dynamic to school, work, and friendships. I am not a cheesy person - but from being involved with both Navy ROTC and the Sigma Alpha Epsilon fraternity I've found that it is truly amazing to have the connections, bonds and potential for my future career that Alpha Kappa Psi provides on a daily basis. Even though difficult at times, being involved with so many groups of amazing individuals has been a priceless experience."
-Conor Goodman, Member of both Sigma Alpha Epsilon and AKΨ (BU 2013) - Epsilon Class
