Alpha Kappa Kappa was founded in 1888 at Dartmouth Medical School. The Pi Chapter which was instituted at the Ohio Medical University in Columbus, Ohio on October 2, 1902. In 1906 Phi Sigma Psi, a local fraternity at Starling Medical College (1848-1907), petitioned for a charter and was approved. Before the charter was granted, the AKK Council was advised that Starling Medical College and Ohio Medical University (1892-1907) were merging to form Starling-Ohio Medical College (1907-1914) which meant that the men of Phi Sigma Psi could join forces with AKK without the necessity of issuing a new charter. They had 113 members. The first Chapter house was at 688 North High Street which housed 12 men for the year. After this, they lived at various addresses: 68 Buttles Avenue, 797 Dennison Avenue, and 216 Marshall Avenue. In 1923, the Pi Chapter Company was formed to purchase a house at 199 W. Tenth Avenue. This was later enlarged by purchasing the house to the west and joining them together with an addition. The final Chapter house was erected at 466 King Avenue in 1966. The AKK Pi Chapter ceased operations in 1974.
