About
Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Incorporated is the oldest Greek Letter organization established in America by and for Black college women. Nine Howard University students were led by Ethel Hedgeman Lyle into a sisterhood on January 15, 1908. She viewed the Sorority as an instrument for enriching the social and intellectual aspects of college life by providing mental stimulation through interaction with friends and associates.
Alpha Kappa Alpha membership is composed of ladies of distinction and exemplary character who excel in scholarship, leadership and service. Alpha Kappa Alpha has grown from one undergraduate chapter to an international organization. There are undergraduate and graduate chapters located throughout the United States, West Africa, the United Kingdom, the U.S. Virgin Islands, the Bahamas, Korea, and Germany.
Since it’s founding Alpha Kappa Alpha women have contributed high scholarship, vocational and career guidance, health services, and the advancement of human and civil rights to all mankind.
