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 fraternity's Beta chapter was established by five students at California State University, Northridge in 2003.[10] This followed by the Gamma chapter at California State University San Marcos. Gamma chapter started as a special interest group called BAPS on August 26, 2006, and was chartered as Alpha Psi Rho on February 22, 2012.[5][7] The Delta chapter at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas was chartered on April 2, 2011.[11] Alpha Psi Rho members are referred to as "brhothers".[12]
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]
