NOBLESVILLE (April 15, 2026) – Alpha Kappa Psi rechartered Chi Beta Chapter at California State University, Fullerton on April 11.

The chapter initiated 33 members. We extend thanks to the installation team for ushering in our newest principled business leaders.

“This journey has definitely been challenging at times, but even more rewarding in ways I didn’t expect. I wanted to start this chapter as a way to step outside my comfort zone, try something new, and build something meaningful from the ground up. More than anything, my goal has always been to create a space where we can all grow, both professionally and personally. I’m excited to continue developing this chapter and watch it evolve into something impactful for everyone involved.” – Selena Chik

Extend your congratulations to Chi Beta at [email protected].

Welcome, new brothers!

Alpha Kappa Psi Rechartered Alpha Sigma Chapter at Lehigh University

Posted On March 6, 2026 By akpsi In Chapter Installation, Pride /  

NOBLESVILLE (March 6, 2026) – Alpha Kappa Psi rechartered Alpha Sigma Chapter at Lehigh University on February 28.

The chapter initiated 37 members under Chief Installation Officer Corey Reddy. We extend thanks to the installation team for ushering in our newest principled business leaders.

Chapter President Michelle Orloff had this to share about her experiences as a leader in a petitioning chapter:

My experience as President has really brought AKPsi’s mission to life. Serving both now and during our time as a petitioning chapter has been one of the most formative journeys of my life. I’ve grown not only as a leader, but also in understanding myself, my strengths, and how to bring out the best in others. Every day took consistent effort, from planning and organizing to problem-solving and working together as a team toward shared goals.

I’m genuinely grateful for the opportunity to lead and to learn alongside such dedicated members. Our advisors at Lehigh and within AKPsi have been incredible mentors and resources. Their patience, guidance, and belief in us, especially through our slower moments of progress, made all the difference. I’m really excited for what’s ahead, and I’m looking forward to continuing to deliver meaningful value and opportunities while strengthening the close-knit culture that defines the Alpha Sigma Chapter.

Additionally, congratulations to the chapter’s Faculty Advisor Marina Odierno and AKPsi’s Director of Project Development Brendon Albert on their initiations into Alpha Kappa Psi.

Extend your congratulations to Alpha Sigma at [email protected].

Welcome, new brothers!

What is Business Edge?

Business Edge is the brand of business leadership and career development resources developed by the Commonwealth Leadership® Alliance.

A shared commitment unites Alpha Kappa Psi and the Commonwealth Leadership® Alliance: to equip leaders with the tools, connections, and insights needed to thrive. Together, we expand the reach and relevance of professional development and bring together a global community of people, ideas, and opportunities.

The Business Edge brand reflects our collective mission: to develop principled business leaders. “Edge” signals competitive advantage, growth, and the forward momentum our members gain through lifelong connection, resources, and engagement. Business Edge resources include:

  • The Certificate Program, an assessment-based certificate program, which builds capacity and recognition of principled business leadership skills
  • The Accelerate Program, virtual sessions providing insights on industry hiring trends and career transitions
  • The Business Edge Newsletter, a weekly curation of business and leadership news tailored to your interests
  • The Business Edge Podcast, conversations with Alpha Kappa Psi alumni and friends sharing their personal and professional development stories
  • The Business Edge Blog, articles with mini lessons for in-demand skills
  • And now, the Business Edge Portal

Business Edge is built for students, alumni, and volunteers. It gives you tools to grow no matter where you are on your journey.

How does Business Edge align with AKPsi values?

Business Edge brings our values to life digitally. It embodies lifelong learning, integrity in action, and the unity of a global brotherhood while giving members tools to lead with confidence. Commonwealth Leadership® developed Business Edge with these values in mind.

The Commonwealth Leadership® Alliance was created in 2015 by Alpha Kappa Psi. At that time, the AKPsi Board of Directors assembled a group of alumni business leaders to research workplace skills and competencies.

The group was charged with developing a list of professional practices and soft skills most valued in the workplace. (This list later became the “Core Six™.”) This group compiled data from employer surveys and developed a model for leadership development for aspiring business professionals.

The group first met in Richmond, Virginia, in the winter of 2016. It was originally established as the Alpha Kappa Psi Educational Corporation and later renamed to the Commonwealth Leadership® Alliance.
