About Convention
The Alpha Kappa Psi Convention is a four-day-long fraternity event which occurs every two years. Convention serves as the business meeting of Alpha Kappa Psi where chapter congress convenes to influence positive change within the organization. Convention also serves to educate both student and alumni members on fraternity knowledge, business knowledge, and professional development through the two-day College of Leadership event.
