Should old acquaintance be forgot;

Shall we pass slowly out of view

Without Regret or sigh?

For Alpha Kappa Psi, my friend, for Alpha Kappa Psi

We'll bless the days that we have spent

In Alpha Kappa Psi

We'll work with might and main to win

Our meed of daily praise,

But ne'er shall we in after years

Forget fraternal days.
