Why join AKPSI? - ANSWER A prospective junior transfer student in the
beginning of 2017, I had done extensive research before hearing of my
acceptance to the USC on student organizations on campus that I hoped to get
involved in. In search of a prestigious professional fraternity, Alpha Kappa Psi
was conspicuous among all other organizations as the oldest (1905) and largest
business fraternity in the world, with 265 active chapters in the nation. Holding
brothers of all majors and backgrounds, I knew there would be a certain
uniqueness in the network of Alpha Kappa Psi unfindable anywhere else. Even
then, I still didn't know much about the Alpha Zeta chapter specifically of
AKPSI besides the hard facts. Fortunately, I had the opportunity to approach
two friends and active members on their experiences with AKPSI.
Both had spoken highly of the professionalism, guidance, network, and
everlasting brotherhood of the organization. This sincerity was proved simply
by meeting the brothers during the rush events. Right off the back at the meet
the chapter at the AKPSI house, from meeting the brothers and seeing the
interactions between them brothers, I immediately knew these were the people I
wanted to be around for my next two years. "work hard play hard" mindset of
everyone What can you contribute to AKPSI?
- ANSWER I firmly believe that my diverse experiences, skills, and character
will make me a valuable potential addition to this extraordinary organization.
First of all, I have the various experiences that I went through to get me to USC
as a transfer student. I believe that nothing can beat the perseverance of a
transfer student. Additionally, my teamwork and leadership skills will become
valuable as a brother of akpsi. Teaming skills I pride in were developed working
part-time jobs in various industries since high school. In these jobs,
collaboration and communication were an important aspect in succeeding in
them. Although I am a team player, I am also a leader. I was elected to a
leadership role in the school organizations: Student Government and a Honor
, Society, and I also co-founded a career club. When it comes to work, I have
been able to take initiative as a leader among my coworkers when needed if
there is no manager or person in a higher position present. What do you hope to
gain from AKPSI? - ANSWER Besides the brotherhood and friendships of
course, I hope to gain the career and professional guidance that I really need. As
you can see from my resume, I haven't had the opportunity to yet work in the
my career field of interest. I hope that AKPSI can guide me through that.
I have also grown a recent interest in consulting but do not know much about
how to approach it.
I remember hearing from an active, Karina, who came in knowing nothing of
consulting before akpsi. Also brother Joann who used to be a business major but
switched to CS with the guidance of akpsi brothers. Without akpsi, I would not
have the ability to have these mentors by my side when I am lost, having people
around you, who have similar career pursuits and passions, similar or greater
than yours, places you in a better place. Also, I do hope that in working with
akpsi, I can grow and be developed as one who has acquired the requisite skills
to enter the workforce.
I was not particularly taught these skills. More specifically, I hope to be able to
learn how to network better in all aspects and, relating to that, improve my
communication and speaking skills. Lastly, I hope to be a part of the amazing
active and alumni network of AKPSI that I could fully benefit from. Why did
you choose your current major? - ANSWER Interested in both the political
science and business, I thought the IRGB Major was the perfect hybrid between
the two. Where I can learn the relations between international actors while
understanding it in the context of the global economy
Why did you choose USC? - ANSWER Although it is corny the school pride
was what made me really love USC, especially because it wasn't found at my
previous school, so there was really a sense of belonging in the community.
Also because USC has a perfect balance between academic and social
opportunities. And of course you can't forget the Trojan Network that comes
with attending this premier institution.
