- John Willard Marriot
(Founder of Marriot, Alpha Kappa Psi Alumni)
The Omega Phi Chapter at San Jose State University was founded upon our 5 core values of Brotherhood, Unity, Service, Integrity and Knowledge. What we offer students is a once in a lifetime opportunity to join other like-minded individuals from diverse backgrounds to achieve greatness on our campus, in our community, our careers, and our personal lives. Recognized as the "Premier Developer of Principled Business Leaders" Alpha Kappa Psi strives to develop students to their full potential. We produce elite business professionals who become the future leaders of tomorrow. We learn. We develop ideas. And we apply what we gain from Alpha Kappa Psi to succeed in life. Upon graduating, many members pursue careers with top-notch companies such as Cisco, The Big Four, NASA, Hitachi, Oracle, etc. We provide members with workshops, professional speakers, and a network of successful individuals who serve to guide new members with their academics and career paths. In addition to professionalism, brothers gain valuable, life-long friendships and participate in many social events with our SJSU members, local university chapters, and other SJSU organizations. Whether it is a winter or summer retreat, banquet, or mixers, we believe in the importance of celebrating the successes of the Omega Phi Chapter. Our brotherhood is the glue that bonds our fraternity together; and enables our chapter and our members to grow year after year.
In developing principled business leaders, Alpha Kappa Psi adheres to these lifetime values:Brotherhood
Trust, respect, cooperation, companionship and aid to brother members is the expected norm
Education and experience is emphasized and shared by all members
All actions, whether in business or in life, are guided by honesty, ethics and fairness
Sharing of time, talent, and treasure with communities and with our fraternity is a priority
A common understanding of our vision and values that transcends chapter, generation and profession is utilized to anticipate and create the future
