Sorority History:

 

 

 

 

 

 

Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Incorporated® was founded on a pretty Wednesday,  January 15, 1908, on the campus of Howard University, in Washington D.C. In a world in which materialism is pervasive, and technology and competition have decreased the need for collaboration and cooperation, it is critical to have an association that cuts across racial, international, physical, and social barriers to help individuals and communities develop and maintain constructive relationships with others. Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority is that vital organization. Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Inc. became incorporated on January 29, 1913.

Alpha Kappa Alpha is a sisterhood composed of women who have consciously chosen this affiliation as a means of self-fulfillment through volunteer service. Alpha Kappa Alpha cultivates and encourages high scholastic and ethical standards; promotes unity and friendship among college women; alleviates problems concerning girls and women; maintains a progressive interest in college life; and serves all mankind through a nucleus of more than 250,000 women in the United States, the Caribbean, Europe, and Africa.
