AKPsi-About

Letter from the President

On behalf of the brothers of the Alpha Gamma Chapter of Alpha Kappa Psi at the University of Virginia, I would like to extend you a warm welcome to our website. We greatly appreciate your interest in our organization and invite you to explore our website to learn more about our members and why you may want to consider becoming a part of our Brotherhood.

As the country’s largest and oldest business fraternity, Alpha Kappa Psi has long been recognized as the premier developer of principled business leaders. Our fraternity strives to grow students professionally, philanthropically, and socially through opportunities such as our mentorship program, mock interviews, and career workshops. This rich tradition has produced our vast network of successful students and alumni, including former U.S. Presidents, Fortune 500 CEOs, and student leaders.

The Alpha Gamma Chapter has established itself as a leading student organization at the University of Virginia, consistently attracting some of the best and brightest minds on Grounds. A McIntire-affiliated organization and UVA’s only co-ed professional fraternity, our chapter strives to uphold the highest levels of excellence within the McIntire School of Commerce and the greater UVA community. We are proud to call some of the most accomplished leaders on Grounds our own, including presidents and executive board members of various business organizations and other clubs.

Additionally, the Alpha Gamma Chapter values philanthropic work as well as the social aspects of a college experience. Our brothers demonstrate their commitment to one another through weekly social events, and regularly participate in philanthropy events throughout the Charlottesville area to positively impact the community and become well-rounded students and future leaders.

I am wholeheartedly grateful for my brothers, who have become my best friends, and for all the other opportunities that Alpha Kappa Psi has provided me. Thank you again for your interest. Please feel free to contact me with any questions regarding the Alpha Gamma Chapter and don’t forget to attend our Rush events at the beginning of the semester!

Warm regards,

During their time in Alpha Kappa Psi at the University of Virginia, members enjoy many opportunities to grow and hone their business skills through mock interviews, resume critiques, career workshops, and much more. When our members graduate, they join the business world ready for success.

BROTHERHOOD

At the core of our organization is our deep friendships. We push each other to work hard and play harder. But outside of our day-to-day relationships, we also preserve lasting traditions, from football game tailgates to Foxfield races to spring formals. Alpha Chapter is defined by our closeness, between class years and through our alumni network. The people you meet will go on to be your closest friends, roommates, study buddies, and everything in between.

As a brother, you'll also learn these leadership skills that you'll be able to take and apply to a wide variety of circumstances whether academic or professional.
