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.

The classiest sorority to ever exist. These ladies don't mess around. Every bake sale is always a big success. If there's one thing these ladies mean business about, its baking a mean cupcake. When it comes to recruitment, they know how to shine. These girls will blow you away with their perfect hair and hot looks. Founded in 2009, these ladies sure know how to recruit only the ideal sister. The class these girls have could send Audrey Hepburn running for her money. Watch out, these girls are fierce.
"I wish I my sorority sisters were classy and pulled together like those Alpha Pi Phi girls. I'm embarrassed to be seen with my track pant wearing disaster of a sorority."
"Why do those Alpha Pi Phi girls always have the yummiest treats at their bake sales? There is no use even trying when competing with them. Let's go home."
"Why do all the fraternity men always ask the Alpha Pi Phi sisters to their formals? Its not fair."

Get the Alpha Tau Omega mug.An Alpha Female IS:
* Self-confident, assertive, a natural leader, a woman both Beta women AND men tend to follow.
* Feminine, sexually-aware, and instinctual. Not afraid to utilize men's and her own sexuality to gain advantage.
* Naturally dominant over all except her Alpha Male. She falls into this role not by force, but by either expertise, planning/maneuvering, or sometimes manipulation.
An Alpha Female is NOT:
* Masculine
* Forceful, overbearing (not if she remains Alpha long-term)
* Angry, bitchy, nor any other negative names thrown around by Betas and Omegas who are dissatisfied with their social standing.
A True Alpha Female is NOT afraid to submit to a True Alpha Male, as defined by nearly feral standards, plus intellect and abilities to provide and protect.
Alpha women do not need to feel ashamed that we want men to lead. We are still leaders on our jobs and in our places of worship.
No matter how much we, as women evolve, there are still parts of our female psyches that seek the protector. We still seek that man who can enter a room, assess the situation and take charge. When we meet men who don't have those strong leadership skills, we become frustrated and dominate them. If they are not worthy of leading us, then they should cower at our feet. No?

Why should I, as an Alpha female, choose a male that can dominate me? The Alpha in me responds to the Alpha in him. When I see him, I melt. When he speaks to me in his commanding voice, all my usual arrogance goes out the window. He understands who I am. I understand who he is. He understands my strength, but subtly lets me know that he is in charge now and that I no longer need to be in charge.
We are not wolves. Yet no matter how much we shave our hairy bodies, deodorize our odors, build tall buildings that speak of our prowess and drive around in fancy speed devils, we are still humans. We are still part of the animal kingdom. No matter how deep we bury our instincts, they are still there.
I am an Alpha female and I desire an Alpha male.
