On January 15, 1908 sixteen women on the campus of Howard University, Washington, DC established Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority. It is the first Greek-letter organization established in America by and for Black women. The group who organized Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority were conscious of the privilege and responsibility as college trained members of minority group, just one generation removed from slavery. These young women were determined that their college experience would be meaningful and valuable, in order to enhance their self-realization. Alpha Kappa Alpha was organized to be one instrument for the achievement of this goal. Keeping this goal in mind, a purpose for Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority was developed. It's purpose: to promote high ethical and moral standards, to promote unity and friendship among college women, to study and help alleviate problems concerning girls and women, to maintain an progressive interest in college life, and to be of service to all mankind. For 90 years, Alpha Kappa Alpha has remained true to its original principals that have guided over 200,000 ladies who seek self-fulfillment through service and sisterhood. Currently, its membership encompasses women in the United States, Europe and Africa. Alpha Kappa Alpha sorors are united by a powerful mystique. It is a real and moving factor in the life of students at more than three hundred institutions of higher learning. Incorporated in 1913,it is one of the most solvent corporations in the world today controlled by Black women.
