In 1908, Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority became America's first Greek-letter organization established by Black college women. Her roots date back to Howard University, Washington, D.C., where the idea for formation was conceived by Ethel Hedgeman Lyle of St. Louis, Missouri. 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. Through the years, however, Alpha Kappa Alpha's function has become more complex. After her incorporation as a perpetual body in 1913, Alpha Kappa Alpha gradually branched out and became the channel through which selected college-trained women improved the socioeconomic conditions in their city, state, nation, and the world.
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 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 170,000 women in the United States, the Caribbean, Europe, and Africa.
Candidacy for membership into Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority is open to women of high ethical and scholastic standards who are pursuing or have completed courses leading to a degree in an accredited college or university. Our official headquarters is in Chicago, Illinois.

Get the Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Incorporated mug.Kappa is one of the most exclusive and popular sororities around. Kappas are known for being classy, sweet, and smart, if not a little spoiled and proud (hence the nickname Visa Visa Daddy Mastercard). But we can also party with the rest of them and keep it down to earth. We're the good girls, as in bad girls who don't get caught. Either way, Kappas are charming and cute with a taste for adventure to match anyone's.
A few famous Kappas:
Ashley Judd
Kate Spade
Charlotte from Sex and the City!
Nancy O'Dell
Gretchen Carlson (Miss America, 1989)
We keep it classy!

Get the Kappa mug.A group of extremely classy and established women. We are dedicated to our philanthropies, active at our schools, and great at throwing socials and crushes where we remain classy and well behaved. While some may be a little promiscuous or proud, most are down to earth good girls always willing to give a helping hand. Any one who talks badly about us is probably either jealous or someone who didnt get a bid from us and now is a sorority hating GDI.
A girl should be three things, classy, fabulous, and KAPPA!
IM SO HAPPY THAT I AM A KAPPA KAPPA KAPPA GAMMA!
