Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Inc.

AAW History
 

Alpha Alpha Omega began in 1926 and was finally organized in 1927. Eight insightful young women founded this chapter they were:

Charlotte Enty Catlin
Jessie Hailstalk Roy
Kathleen Brown Douglass
Esther Summers
Edith Hawkins
Norine Webster Taylor
Eleanor Jones
Jean Hamilton Walls

These young women made high scholastic standing, sincere sisterhood, and high moral standards a prerequisite for joining. Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority is an international Sisterhood and every member adheres to these standards and holds our motto "Service to Mankind" dearly.

Since its chartering, Alpha Alpha Omega has continued to uphold the ideals of the Sorority through providing scholarship funds, financially supporting needy organizations, and spending goodwill throughout the community. The chapter is proud of its leadership, including several past and present members who have extended their service as National officers.

Alpha Alpha Omega is also the mentoring graduate chapter to six undergraduate chapters: Alpha Sigma, Iota, Kappa Beta, Kappa Zeta, Mu Omicron, and Rho Rho. Alpha Alpha Omega's graduate advisors help the young college students navigate their way through "Service."
