Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Incorporated

Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Inc. was founded January 15, 1908 on the campus of Howard University in Washington, DC. This is the first National Pan-Hellenic Council sorority. Founded by twenty trailblazers during the time of discrimination and injustice, Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Inc. continues to stand on the principles of scholarship, service and sisterhood.
