NAK History 

Nu Alpha Kappa Fraternity, Inc. was established in 1988 at California Polytechnic State University, San Luis Obispo. Since its founding in 1988, Nu Alpha Kappa has grown to be California's Largest Latino based fraternity. At present, Nu Alpha Kappa is comprised of eighteen chapters representing some of California's, Nevada's, and Colorado's most prestigious private and state funded universities with a membership of over 1000 strong.

The dynasty at Fresno began with a small invitation for a meeting which took place in November 22, 1992. This meeting would mark the beginning of a better academic, cultural, and social environment at CSU Fresno. The NAK's got together to express their ideas and to demonstrate that they were part of Fresno State. Although NAK chose to integrate into a Greek system they also decided to make a commitment to retain their Latino culture.

NAK Philosophy

NU ALPHA KAPPA is sharing life with others, learning to accept and respect differences in others, working together with cooperative spirit, playing, laughing, singing, studying together, and sharing problems as well as your achievements.

It is participation in group activities and working with the brothers for common goals of improvement. Never does it mean loss of identity, rather it is remaining true to oneself in interests, goals and characteristics. It is love for the individual and for the group as a whole.

It is the fraternity spirit which leads on to care about his neighbor's goods, thus educating the heart to unselfishness. It is loyalty, thoughtfulness, courtesy and encouragement from day to day. It is the opportunity for development of talents and one's full potential. It is real friends, interested in each others family and friends. And anything within the bounds of morality shall receive the commendation of the brothers.

Through out the centuries many societies, countries, organizations and regions have failed in their long term main objectives and few of them have been successful for a continuous and prolonged period of time. Many of them started with a vision and strong laws that held them together.

Each system was commonly bounded by either theocracy, monarchy, democracy communism or religion. All of these systems operated or still operate with great theories and good foundation. But the complexity of man has made all of these theories fail at one point or another. It also follows that a utopian society is out of the question. However, a relative utopian society can be possible . What we mean by a relative utopian society is an organization or society that, compared to others, relative and not the ideal can be close to perfect. In order for that society to be successful the integrands must believe and participate in their society. Such is the case for NU ALPHA KAPPA. Theoretically, if we are all the same level of belief in the fraternity we should run like a tuned machine. Unfortunately, reality tells us that we are human and that we will fall below the optimum point of belief at one point or another. The optimum point of belief in NU ALPHA KAPPA is when you think and feel the organization is treating you fairly.

NAK Goals 

We NU ALPHA KAPPA, seek the unity and involvement of all students in a more harmonious and brotherly atmosphere through academic, cultural, and social means. There is a need to interface the various backgrounds that constitute the student body at Fresno State in order to improve relations amongst all students and the community in Fresno.
