Our History
The establishment of the Rho Phi Chapter at the University of California, Riverside began in the year 2000. With the help of Wayne Ke, a brother of the UCLA Alpha Kappa Psi, and Rick Dong, Rho Phi’s former president, they organized and started a chapter at UCR. 17 original students agreed with Rick that UC Riverside needed diversity within a business fraternity. They felt the need for students should be able to choose which business fraternity they wanted to become a part of.
On May 18, 2000, appointments were delegated to a selected few that filled positions that the fraternity needed to initially organize itself. From there, recruitment was organized to bring in more members so that the chapter could expand. Working hard and strenuously, the original 17 brought in a successful class. On January 6, 2001, the Rho Phi Chapter of Alpha Kappa Psi was inducted – 46 actives swore to uphold their faith and belief in the mission of Alpha Kappa Psi.
