Capturing a vision fair, nine trailblazing women established Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Inc., on Wednesday, January 15, 1908, on the campus of Howard University in Washington, D.C. Soon thereafter, seven sophomore standouts were invited to join without initiation, comprising the original sixteen founders. Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority was later incorporated in 1913, making it the first sorority established in perpetuity to support the educational, social, and cultural needs of African American women. Since it’s inception, Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Inc., has grown to boast a membership of over 325,000 college-educated women.
