  • Page 4/THE WESTERN CAROLINIAN/January 17, 1980 Carolinian Newsbriefs Assert yourself When New York University announced in 1900 that it would open an evening school for instruction in commerce, accounts, and finance, little did it know that it would be the founding place for Alpha Kappa Psi. The class that entered NYU in the fall of 1902, four months after the first of the new degrees had been awarded by the university, was unique in several fespects. One of the strongest influences on the fraternity's development was that the founders occupied the same seats ttve nights a week to become acquainted with one another. These four men from Brooklyn (Bergen, Jefferson, Lane and Leach), later known as the Brooklyn Four, walked home from school together over the Brooklyn Bridge. The spirit of brotherhood grew so strong in the hearts and in the minds of the men that early in the second year they decided to suggest to the other members of the class that something be done to perpetuate it. Alpha Kappa Psi, the first professional fraternity in business, was founded at an organization meeting held on October 5, 1904. Now, over 185 college chapters and 50 alumni chapters have been installed, over 85,000 members have been inducted and Alpha Kappa Psms one of the largest of American college fraternities. Theta Tau was founded November 23, 1969 and has been going strong ever since. For more information contact any brother or call 293-9022.
