"The Brooklyn Four" shared the same vision- creating an organization uniting individuals with common business interests, fostering brotherhood and serving the community. Since Alpha Kappa Psi's founding, there are 298 college chapters, 90 alumni chapters, and over 200,000 members worldwide. There are chapters across thirteen regions in the United States, as well as those that extend overseas in England, Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales.

Creed

Alpha Kappa Psi recognizes that
We live in deeds, not years;
In thought, not breath;
In service, not in figures on the dial.
We count time by heart throbs,
When they beat for God, for man, for duty.
He lives most who thinks most,
Is noblest, acts the best.
