ALPHA KAPPA ALPHA SORORITY, Inc.
Founded on the campus of Howard University in Washington, DC in 1908, Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority is the oldest Greek-letter organization established by African American college-trained women. To trace its history is to tell a story of changing patterns of human relations in America in the 20th century.

The small group of women who organized the Sorority was conscious of a privileged position as college-trained women of color, just one generation removed from slavery. They were resolute that their college experiences should be as meaningful and productive as possible. Alpha Kappa Alpha was founded to apply that determination.
Picture
As  the Sorority grew, it kept in balance two important themes: the  importance
of the individual and the strength of an organization of  women of ability and
courage. As the world became more complex, there  was a need for associations
which cut across racial, geographical,  political, physical and social
barriers.

Alpha  Kappa Alpha sororities influence of service
extends beyond campus quads and student  interest. It has a legacy of service
that deepens, rather than ends,  with college graduation.

Alpha  Kappa Alpha Sorority, Inc. is comprised
of over 265,000 college-trained  women from around the world. It has an active
membership of over 50,000  members who represent a diverse constituency of
women, from educators  to heads of state, politicians, lawyers, medical
professionals, media  personalities and decision-makers of major corporations. 

Graduate  members constitute the largest percentage of membership.
