Celebrating 100 Years of Service
The excitement continues to grow as Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority approaches the 100th anniversary of its founding.The historic milestone will feature a yearlong commemoration, culminating in a gala week of tributes, salutes and praise in Washington, D.C., where the Sorority was founded. The climactic celebration will coincide with the Sorority's biennial international confab, during which more than 20,000 members are expected to make the pilgrimage to Howard University to honor the Alpha Kappa Alpha founders and celebrate the Sorority's 100-year history.
Take a look at highlights of the organization’s past by visiting the Centennial Celebration Web site, an online commemoration of the courageous achievements of a dynamic group of women.
