Each year a new group of men and women is pledged from the sophomore, junior, and senior classes in the School of Pharmacy and Pharmacal Sciences. The pledges are selected by the members on the basis of character, leadership, scholarship, and interest in furthering the profession of pharmacy. The various activities encountered through Kappa Psi offer the active member fellowship with their school colleagues and an opportunity to become involved in community projects, both socially and professionally. The Mentoring Program assists in the adjustment of prepharmacy students to both Purdue and the School of Pharmacy. Freshmen are matched with an upper class pharmacy student who provides support, encouragement, and guidance.
All freshmen are eligible to participate.
First, second, and third professional year pharmacy students serve as mentors. The Purdue Pharmacy Ambassadors plan, implement, and evaluate the annual Pharmacy Job Fair in order to provide all students interested in pharmacy-related careers a basis on which to find employment opportunities, information on pharmacy careers or information on further education in their fields. The organization members also serve to represent the School at various University-related functions. Membership is open to all prepharmacy and pharmacy students. The Pharmacy Student Council serves as a communication resource between students and the faculty.
