Biographical Note/Administrative History
The Alpha Kappa Psi Fraternity was founded on October 5, 1904 at New York University
and is recognized as the world's oldest and largest professional business
fraternity. The objectives of the national fraternity are to further the individual
welfare of its members; to foster scientific research in the fields of commerce,
accounts and finance, and to promote and advance within higher education courses
leading to degrees in business administration. The Beta Gamma Chapter at Indiana
University, Bloomington was founded on April 5, 1927, though the earliest records
represented in this collection date back only to 1939. The chapter is still
operating as of 2013.
