About Alpha Beta Chapter

The Alpha Beta Chapter of Alpha Kappa Psi was first founded at the University of California, Berkeley on March 8, 1921 and rechartered on April 3, 1999. United by educational and career goals, the founders envisioned the fraternity as a framework for development, networking, and brotherhood that previously could not be found in any classroom or club.

Our chapter has since expanded greatly. We have earned a campus-wide reputation for professionalism and have alumni working at top corporations around the world. Some of our numerous activities include co-sponsoring the Big Four Forum, hosting industry information forums, and sponsoring case competitions on campus. In 2002, we also introduced Alpha Beta Consulting (ABC), a non-profit student consulting group, to get hands-on consulting experience while giving back to the community. In 2007, Berkeley Corporate Solutions (BCS) was launched as the business-side consulting arm of our chapter. Since its inception, BCS has gone on to work with major clients including Salesforce, Agilent, and Cisco Systems. As a result of our continuous strides toward excellence, Alpha Beta Chapter was awarded the Chapter of the Year award in 2004.

One unique aspect of the Alpha Beta Chapter is our recognition that professional skills and basic understandings of business fields are essential to a wide variety of careers. From our founding, we have embraced the diversity of the UC Berkeley campus and take pride in the fact that we have brothers from a wide range of backgrounds.

Alpha Kappa Psi, Alpha Beta Chapter, is a student organization sponsored by the Walter A. Haas School of Business Undergraduate Program.
