What does the Ritual of Alpha Kappa Psi include?

• A. It contains all necessary rituals for student and alumni chapters. Never to be added to or deleted from and all rituals should be presented in their entirety.
• B. It includes only student rituals
• C. It includes rituals that can be modified yearly
• D. It includes only alumni rituals

Answer: (A)

The Ritual is the fixed, complete guide for all ceremonies that bind both student and alumni chapters. It includes all necessary rituals for student and alumni chapters and must be kept exactly as written—no additions or deletions—and each ritual should be presented in full. This ensures consistency and preserves the tradition across every chapter, covering rites like initiation, member pledges, and officer installations. It isn’t limited to one group, and it isn’t meant to be changed year to year; altering or restricting parts would break the standardized practice that the Ritual enforces.
