These AKPsi events are great way for brothers to build relationships, acquire internships, seek employment opportunities, and gain career advice.

In-Chapter Speakers:
We host several in-chapters speakers each semester about current topics in business, advice for networking and interviewing, and specific information related to speakers company or industry. This is yet another great opportunity for brothers to network.
Principled Business Leadership Institute (PBLI):
Each year, brothers of AKPsi attend an Alpha Kappa Psi convention in Chicago with other chapters from the Midwest. The PBLI allows our members to meet brothers from other chapters, attend helpful lectures, meet the national leadership team, gain career advice and show our chapter pride. Brothers enjoy spending the weekend exploring the beautiful city of Chicago.
National Convention:
Every two years Alpha Kappa Psi hosts a National Convention. It is a great place to network with brothers from across the nation as well as attend speakers and learn how the fraternity is operated. The 2011 National Convention was held in Phoenix, Arizona.
