Spring Kleaning

On January 15, 1908, Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Incorporated® was founded on the campus of Howard University in Washington D.C. The idea for formation was conceived by Ethel Hedgeman Lyle of St. Louis, Missouri. In order to ensure perpetuity, Alpha Kappa Alpha was incorporated on January 29, 1913. It is the oldest Greek-letter organization established by African American college-trained women.Our local history began with Beta Beta chapter, which was founded in Akron in 1932. Beta Beta's membership included both undergraduate and graduate women. The chapter was dissolved and a new, separate graduate chapter, Zeta Theta Omega Chapter was chartered on April 3, 1954 in Akron, OH at the home of Leona Farris.
