History

The fraternity is the result of a merger between two substantially identical groups: Nu Beta Epsilon, founded in 1919 at Northwestern University School of Law and Alpha Kappa Sigma (ΑΚΣ) found at University of Maryland Law School in 1918. Representatives of the two Fraternities met at Columbus, Ohio in 1939 and the merger was effected in 1940 with the name, motto and seal of the old Nu Beta Epsilon group.[1][2]

Membership Characteristics
