Last October, Alpha Kappa Psi, the oldest national business fraternity, became the second fraternity to be sponsored by Loyola's College of Business Administration. The local chapter was formed after members broke from the existing business fraternity, Delta Sigma Pi.
Some students see it as a positive, although it caused some raised eyebrows at first.
Nick White, management senior and president of Delta Sigma Pi, said that although he was surprised when he first heard the news, he now agrees with Couret. At the SGA hearing in which Alpha Kappa Psi was approved, Soliman said that the criteria for admission into the fledgling fraternity would be less demanding than that of Delta Sigma Pi. Kristin McIntyre, international business junior and public relations chairwoman for Delta Sigma Pi, said that she felt that Delta Sigma Pi focuses on quality, not quantity. McIntyre strongly disagreed with these views. The question of what those desires were caused some speculation among not only of members of Delta Sigma Pi, but those of school officials as well.
