Alpha Psi Rho (Шаблон:Lang), also known as APsiRho, is an Asian and Pacific Islander-interest fraternity founded at San Diego State University in 2000.[1][2] It has expanded to include four chapters located in California and Nevada.[3]

History

The student founders of Alpha Psi Rho grew up in an era when Asian and Pacific Islander Americans were struggling to find their identities in the United States.[4] Although the founders became involved in cultural organizations at San Diego State University, they wanted to create a group people who have similar interests, lived a similar lifestyle, and hungered to make greater impacts in the community.[4][5]

The Ten Founding Fathers established Alpha Psi Rho on March 1, 2000, as a fraternity for Asian and Pacific Islander students.[3][1] The fraternity was based on four pillars: Brotherhood, Academics, Prosperity, and Strength.[6] Although established as an Asian or Filipino fraternity, it welcomes all races.[7][8]

The Gamma chapter won the university's Community Development and Lifelong Membership award for 2014-2015.[7] The fraternity hosts events such as a cultural festival at California State University, San Marcus for Asian Pacific American Heritage Month and participated in the annual Festival of Communities at UNLV.[13][7] Members also volunteer with charities that work with Asian-Pacific Islander youth.[7][8]
