Although these rush events are not mandatory, we highly encourage you to go to as many as you can to get more exposure to the chapter and make those strong connections. These events provide opportunities for you to learn about Alpha Kappa Psi and interact with active brothers, as well as allowing actives to learn about you.
If you cannot make an event, please email rhochimembership@gmail.com with the event you will be missing as well as the reason for your absence.
Try your best to avoid being that “star rushee”. When you start putting yourself in that mindset, you blend in with the rest of the crowd. To stand out, be yourself. Tell us what you love to do and form genuine connections. We want to get to know all of you as much as you want to know us!

A message from the vice president of membership
Hello rushees, welcome to Alpha Kappa Psi!
My name is Micah Silva, and I am this year’s Vice President of Membership. I’m a part of the Alpha Upsilon Pledge class and took the amazing opportunity to rush in the first semester of my freshman year. Now that I’m entering my Junior year of college, I’m so grateful to say that Alpha Kappa Psi has helped me grow both professionally and individually in ways that I couldn’t have done on my own. More than that, however, I’ve gotten the chance to meet such amazing people who will always be in my corner.
If you haven’t yet decided if our brotherhood is right for you, I encourage you to give our rush a chance. Entering college, I had zero interest in joining Greek life and was completely unaware of the concept of professional fraternities. All that I wanted was to find a community of people that shared my values, and to prepare myself for life after college in the professional world. After making the spontaneous decision to attend the first day of rush, I quickly realized I wasn’t the only one that felt this way. I met like-minded individuals that were driven in their pursuits and ambitious in their goals for life. While I was still unsure about committing myself to an organization that would challenge me to step out of my comfort zone, I decided to take a chance on Alpha Kappa Psi because I saw a community of people that strive to be the best versions of themselves. Three years later, I can confidently say that this was the best decision I ever made as a college student.
In my one week of rush, I learned more about professionalism and how I can position my career than I ever did in high school. I learned how to present myself to companies through expertly crafted resumes and cover letters, dress professionally, stand out in interviews, and create and perfect elevator pitches. Most importantly, I relearned the importance of something so simple yet so overlooked: how to put yourself out there and connect with others. These are skills that I continue to utilize to this day and beyond college.
Regardless of your major, race, age, sexuality, or anything that makes you yourself: If you’re looking for a somewhere to better yourself, Alpha Kappa Psi is your place. We welcome all individuals to come create a learning experience of a lifetime and form bonds that will last beyond our time at college. Our tight-knit brotherhood will allow you to create more than a just community on campus — you will have a place where you belong and a people you can call family.
So be yourself, as your own personality shines through more than any of your accomplishments. Take the chance and come out to rush — and if you’re feeling anything but confident in this opportunity, email me at rhochimembership@gmail.com for any questions. I wish you the best of luck!
Sincerely,
Micah Silva
Vice President of Membership
