Introduction
"Give what you have. To someone, it may be better than you dare think."
--- Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
WHAT IT MEANS TO GIVE BACK
Two basic definitions of Service are “that which a person performs for the benefit of his or her local
community” or “that which is performed for the benefit of a local institution”. People become involved in
community service for a variety of reasons; financial rewards; beliefs, convictions or principles; career
preparation or advancement; interest in civic affairs; sense of social responsibility; commitment of
protecting the rights and welfare of others; course or chapter requirements; or personal reasons.
WHY SERVICE IS IMPORTANT
Community service provides a variety of unique benefits to the members of AKPsi, the community and to
the organizations where brothers volunteer. It is very common that volunteers get much more out of their
service experience than they expect. Also, the community gains resources and services that would otherwise
be unavailable.
It has been shown that service activities have a unique way of developing an individual's leadership skills,
sense of community, self-esteem, and other personal characteristics. In terms of career growth, many service
activities provide members with the opportunity to explore possible careers, experience the "real-world" of
their chosen career field, develop professional skills and contacts, build their resume and put into practice
the information they have learned in academic settings. Research has shown that student learning, personal
skills and professional development will increase when students invest more of their out-of-class time and
energy in educationally purposeful activities such as community service.
Every community service activity or project benefits a specific individual or group. Whether it is building a
home for the working poor, serving victims of chronic or terminal illness, tutoring children, or any other
service activity, there is a person or group who ultimately benefits from your time! Without volunteers these
services would not be provided and the lives of those people receiving the services would not be enriched.
The organizations where members conduct service work also benefit enormously. Non-profit agencies and
government programs have suffered many budgetary cutbacks, yet client needs have continued to expand.
Volunteers can make significant contributions to these agencies in their attempt to deal with the complex
and growing needs of society.
3
Community service benefits the individual by:
 Developing a stronger sense of self worth and pride,
 Bringing new experiences, new friends and new possibilities to the individual,
 Increasing skills in managing projects and people,
 Developing independence by improving decision-making abilities,
 Enhancing personal visibility and prestige in the community and on the job,
 Providing new skills that can lead to job advancement, and
 Building a stronger and safer community in which to live.
HOW SERVICE FITS INTO ALPHA KAPPA PSI
The Core Values and Guiding Principles of Alpha Kappa Psi both speak to community service.


Core Value: Service – Sharing of time, talent, and treasure with society and with our fraternity is a
priority, and
Guiding Principle: Improving Communities - Much is expected of those to whom much is given.
Business professionals who seek to improve the communities in which they do business improve
lives and develop goodwill. Our members actively give back to their communities through volunteer
activities and monetary support.
Community Service Month
October has been designated as Service Month for Alpha Kappa Psi. All chapters are encouraged to
organize and participate in as many service projects as is plausible throughout the year. However, October
has been set aside as the time where the fraternity will celebrate the good work our members are doing for
the university and the community.
4
PICKING AN ACTIVITY FOR THE CHAPTER
As stated earlier, individuals give back for various different reasons. Chapters should survey their
membership and determine which interests are most common to the group. Group activities should then
be organized around these interests. Individuals should still receive credit for service done outside of the
chapter-organized event.
Don’t limit service opportunities to single events. Make service a part of a recruitment event. Include it in a
pledge education activity, after initiation, Court of Honor or before a banquet. Plan an event during
Homecoming; the chapter can double the volunteer efforts with the alumni that come back to participate.
Here are a few resources to use to find the appropriate recipient of your service project once general
activities have been decided on by the chapter.
 Ask around Campus: Many universities have service-learning offices or volunteer centers that keep a
list of local agencies that need assistance. The campus activities or student life offices are also
helpful to find university-based programs in need of help.
 Approach a specific organization of interest: Local clubs, schools, shelters and chapters of
international and national organizations have needs that the chapter can meet. Opportunities are
simply a phone call away.
 Web based search tools:
o VolunteerMatch: www.volunteermatch.org: A network of thousands of volunteer
opportunities that are matched to the location, interest and skill set of the interested party.
Tools are also available to find specific volunteer organizations as well as a listing of virtual
volunteer opportunities, allowing the interested party to volunteer without being physically
present at a specific location
o United Way: http://national.unitedway.org/ : Provides a zip code-based database of
volunteer opportunities. This site also provides a handful of tips on volunteering including
the benefits of volunteering, choosing the right opportunity and the article “If you could
give one hour”; a quick glimpse into what you can do with one hour, one day a week, one
weekend a month or one to two weeks a year.
o Idealist: http://www.idealist.org/: A listing of more than 61,000 nonprofit and community
organizations in 165 countries; this can be searched by name, location, or mission. Browse
thousands of volunteer opportunities in the local community and around the world, as well
as a list of organizations that can help members volunteer abroad. This site also provides a
Nonprofit Career Center with hundreds of job and internship listings. It also provides a step
by step guide to planning a successful community action event.
o Make A Difference Day: http://usaweekend.com/diffday/index.html : This site includes
an idea generator which asks a series of questions that will help any group or individual pin
point an activity that is right for them. Also available is a guide to launching a project, tips
on getting publicity and a downloadable certificate for recognition of participants. Make a
Difference Day also encourages groups to submit details post-event for consideration for
various honors (including monetary support).
 AKPsi Chapter Projects: Appendix I – A list of activities that AKPsi chapters have participated in at
both the university and community level.

RECORDING THE CHAPTER’S ACTIVITIES FOR
ALPHA KAPPA PSI
Annual Chapter Report
Chapters can receive up to 5000 points on the ACR for each of the following two categories. Points are
determined by the total number of services hours performed per chapter member. Below is what is found
on the ACR in terms of service.
 Service to the School - "Alpha Kappa Psi was founded on college campuses to supplement the
education received in the classroom. The ideals of Alpha Kappa Psi are achieved when members
work in conjunction with their business school and/or university. By fostering a strong working
relationship, both the campus and the chapter benefit. Eligible activities will have a direct impact on
the college, university or student body.
 Community Service - "In business, corporations strive to be good citizens. Corporations realize that
without a strong, thriving community base, their businesses could not exist. Thus, corporations,
both through monetary contributions and individual service, aid in the growth and betterment of the
community. Community involvement provides companies and individuals the opportunity to give
back to their community, as well as network with others.
Reporting Form
Chapters should complete and submit the Community Service Form to the Heritage Center. This allows for
chapters to be highlighted on the website, in The Diary of Alpha Kappa Psi and in various e-bulletin
publications.

RECOGNITION FOR PARTICIPATION AND
ORGANIZATION
Local Recognition
In addition to the Civic Service Award in the official Student and Alumni Awards Catalog (see description
below), the chapter can recognize members participating in service events in different ways.
 List-serve message: Each quarter provide a list of projects and the participants to both the student
and alumni of the chapter
 Chapter meeting: Recap the past months activities and have a service member of the month.
 Chapter newsletters: Highlight members that have organized or participated in service projects.
Don’t forget to get their thoughts on what volunteering has meant to them.
 Service thermometer: Set a goal for the number of service hours the chapter wants to perform
during the year. At each chapter meeting, update this chart in front of the entire membership.
 University Awards: Nominate the chapter and the individuals responsible for awards distributed by
the University for Service Projects.
Fraternity Recognition
The Student and Alumni Awards Catalog was developed to help chapters and the Fraternity recognize those
individuals and chapters that put forth a concerted effort to give back to either their school or community.
Below are the awards designed with service in mind:
 Best Philanthropy: (Page 10) The Best Philanthropy award is presented to the chapter demonstrating
the true meaning of service through a selected philanthropic event. This event displays that the
motto for real success is service and is an example for not only Alpha Kappa Psi but the community
at large. Only through service does one personally improve and this chapter has mastered this
concept of service.
 Helping Hand Award: (Page 29) The Helping Hand Award is given to the brother who leads by
example in the area of service to others. This person recognizes the selflessness of giving ones time
to benefit others. This brother is an inspiration to those in Alpha Kappa Psi and the community.
 Local Chapter Awards
o Student Chapter: Civic Service Award: (Page 36) To recognize and reward individuals who
have rendered exceptional service to the community.
o Alumni Chapter: (Page 50) BLUE Award for Leadership in Community Service
The Alpha Kappa Psi website, features chapter events and activities. Pictures and articles of service projects
can be sent to the Heritage Center at mail@akpsi.org and will be featured on the website and in our ebulletin publications.

GETTING THE MOST FROM THE SERVICE EXPERIENCE
As mentioned before, community service is a great opportunity to enhance member’s educational, personal
and professional development. Like any opportunity members must try to make the most of it. Treat this
opportunity as if it is an important job. Be committed to the work! Just because it is a volunteer job does
not mean it doesn’t come with a set of obligations. Be on time, perform the work to the best of abilities,
dress appropriately and always try to do a little more than is required. The volunteer work done by members
will be the basis on which members build professional contacts and job skills.
