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, Incorporatedmug. Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority is and was the first black women sorority...but not the best. Delta Sigma Theta has put them to rest. AKA's have always been known for their colors and sometimes pretty faces but what else??? AKA's are nothing but a social organization...to really be honest you can get your letters in three days without even working for them. See in Delta...you will work for what you have, nothing will be given to you that easy. So if you want to be known as haters and sluts for the rest of your life join the stupid sorority of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Incorporated.
AKA: oh my god...what have I done....I wanted to be a Delta but I chose Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Inc. cause I THOUGHT I would be pretty!

Get the Kappamug. the Kappa is a water demon that inhabits rivers and lakes and devours disobedient little children. The Kappa, a word meaning ‘river child’, is usually depicted with the body of a tortoise, a beak, and the limbs of a frog, and has a hollow filled with water on top of his head. While they are primarily water creatures, they are believed to occasionally venture onto land. According to legend, the cavity must be kept wet when the Kappa ventures out of the water, or he will lose his powers. The Kappa is one of the most well-known folk legends in Japan and many believe the mythical creature to be true.

Get the Kappamug. “Classy KD Ladies”, due to their admirable values. AKD ladies keep it classy. Conservative, yet sexy; fun, yet serious; beautiful, yet modest. Most commonly found in colors green and white, they will awe you with their presence…one of the hardest sororities to get into, Kappa Delta is an envied Greek organization. Initiation into AKD is an honor. Classy and poised, yet fun and sexy. Kappa Delta leads the Greek scene on any campus…The most competitive and intense sorority to pledge for. The classiest & prettiest girls you'll ever meet, with the highest GPAs...what more can you ask for? What every guy wants and what every girl wishes she could be. They have the most philanthropies of any sorority and take pride in everything they do. The KDs are the best girls, and represent almost every part of their university. Incredibly diverse, and may look like the girl-next-door at first, but underneath sexy and fierce…If you want a true lady, go for a KD. They fight to win. Everything you could want and more…Work and play harder than any other group and look good doing it. An AKD function is the place to be…Known for being the "Beautiful People" at the most prestigious universities, KDs are socialites, Fulbrights, and more than stereotypical sorority girls—they’re hot, rich, and smart. A top sorority that is typically filled with the crazy-hot girls. They'll drink you under the table, yet still keep that fratastic class. They’re low drama, but high impact.
A popular KD quote- "You only live once, but if you live like we do, once is enough!" “Some girls are pretty, some girls just smart, but it takes a KD lady to win a fella's heart. Some girls are tan, and some girls got dough, but when you want the best looking? KD’s where you go. Girls will be girls, north, south, east, west; but ALPHA KAPPA DELTA GIRLS are definitely the best. To any guy who reads this and truly wants to know...If you have a KD lady...never let her go!” “If you’re with a KD lady, raise your hand. If you’re not….raise your standards!”
