Inception/Objectives

In 1908, Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority became America's first Greek-letter organization established by and for Black women. Her roots date back to Howard University, Washington, D.C., where the idea for the 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 association with friends and associates. 
Through the years, however, Alpha Kappa Alpha's functioning 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 social and economic conditions in their city, state and the nation. 
That tradition has continued and today, nationally and locally, 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. 

Membership
Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Incorporated, is a nucleus of more than 70,000 college-trained women. From her inception as a single undergraduate chapter in Washington, D.C., Alpha Kappa Alpha has grown to more than 600 undergraduate and graduate chapters in 44 states, West Africa, The Bahamas and The Virgin Islands.
