Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Incorporated® was founded on the campus of Howard University on January 15, 1908. Its founding made it the first Greek letter organization for college trained women of color. The visionary of Alpha Kappa Alpha was Ethel Hedgemon Lyle. She, along with fifteen other like-minded women formed this great and illustrious sisterhood. The sorority's influence extends beyond the college campus and has a legacy of service that deepens, rather than ends, with college graduation. The goals of Alpha Kappa Alpha program activities focus on challenges that confront our families, communities, government halls and world assembly chambers. After over 115 years of sisterhood and service, Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority's precepts and principles continue to remain a priceless part of the global experience in the 21st century.
