"Rushing Alpha Kappa Psi during the spring semester of my freshman year was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. The rush process pushed me beyond what I thought were my limits, helping me grow in ways I never expected. Not only did it build my confidence, but it also allowed me to develop both professionally and personally in a supportive and driven Brotherhood. Whether it’s developing skills like public

speaking, attending speaker events with Alumni Brothers, or having mentors to guide you,

Alpha Kappa Psi offers so many opportunities for you to grow and expand your

network. From the moment I started the journey—from rushing to pledging

and eventually becoming a Brother—I was surrounded by like-minded,

passionate, and determined individuals who are not only focused on

their own success but genuinely invested in helping you succeed, too.

While walking into a room full of suits can feel intimidating, you

quickly realize you’re joining a family that will inspire, challenge, and

encourage you to become your best self. 
 
While rush is just a small step in the process, it is one of the most

important. It is the first step to putting yourself out there and trusting

your abilities. It’s an exciting opportunity to step outside your comfort

zone, grow as an individual, and experience what makes this Brotherhood

so special. This is a time to build your confidence, embrace every event,

and connect with the Brothers. We want to see who you are, what drives you,

and how you plan to contribute to our goals as a Brotherhood. So, when you come

out to rush, be yourself and let this be a chance to push yourself out of your comfort

zone to grow yourself as a person. "
