History of
ALPHA KAPPA ALPHA SORORITY, INCORPORATED®
ALPHA KAPPA ALPHA SORORITY, INC.® was founded at Howard University on January 15, 1908.
It is the FIRST traditionally African-American Greek letter organization for women.
ALPHA KAPPA ALPHA SORORITY, INC.® was founded at a time when Jim Crow laws were enforced. Blacks were not allowed to vote and “separate but equal” were still constitutional. As the generation removed from slavery, the AKA founders did not take their positions lightly. To be collegiately trained and an African-American woman rarely went hand in hand in this time period. Realizing that they were the exception, the organization’s founders sought to start an organization where women could come together, combining their talents and strengths in the name of sisterhood, in order to give back to the less fortunate.
The current membership of AKA totals more than 355,000 women in 12 countries including the United States, Bahamas, Bermuda, Canada, Dubai, Germany, Japan, Liberia, Nigeria, South Korea, South Africa and the U.S. Virgin Islands.
