But when you’re just starting out in your career, you may not know very many people in your field (if any), and if you’ve relocated to a new area, you may not know many people at all.
Networking is a great way to meet new people and build your personal brand. The more you expand your network and build connections, the more doors will open for you in your career.

International Women’s Day 2022 | #BreakTheBias
Since the early 1900s, International Women’s Day has been observed to celebrate the achievements of women and call to action the acceleration of gender parity. March 8 is recognized as International Women’s Day, and collectively we can work to #BreakTheBias, the International Women’s Day 2022 theme.
This August, Alpha Kappa Psi will celebrate the 46th anniversary of women being admitted into the fraternity. The fraternity has come a long way from the first six women initiated at Tri-State University in 1976. The organization has seen its first woman chairs of both the fraternity and foundation board of directors, and the first woman president and vice president of the fraternity.
