Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Inc.

On January 15, 1908, Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Inc. became the FIRST Greek-lettered organization established in the United States by and for Black women. Staring at Howard University, Washington, DC, Ethel Hedgeman Lyle 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. After her incorporation as a perpetual body on January 29, 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, nation and the world.
