Nu Alpha Kappa is a Latino-based fraternity which encompasses and values all cultures. Our 11 founders called themselves Nacos -- a sometimes derisive term, but at its heart referring to those who give unselfishly and are friendly to all. Adapting the term Naco to the university fraternity system, the group officially became Nu Alpha Kappa Fraternity, or NAK for short. Since then our membership has grown from 11 men at one chapter in San Luis Obispo to over 2000 men across California , Colorado and Nevada. We are comprised of 19 chapters representing some of California's, Nevada's and Colorado's most prestigious private and state funded universities. Nu Alpha Kappa Fraternity, Inc. honors its traditions, which are designed to achieve our three goals: Academic excellence and academic support among the brotherhood: retention of culture through campus and community service: and strengthening and maintaining the bond of brotherhood among one another. Our philosophy is best summarized by our motto "Men of Mind, Men of Culture, Men of Pride"
