Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Incorporated had its humble beginnings as the vision of nine college students on the campus of Howard University in 1908. Since then, the sorority has flourished into a globally-impactful organization of nearly 300,000 college-trained members, bound by the bonds of sisterhood and empowered by a commitment to servant-leadership that is both domestic and international in its scope.
As Alpha Kappa Alpha has grown, it has maintained its focus in two key arenas: the lifelong personal and professional development of each of its members; and galvanizing its membership into an organization of respected power and influence, consistently at the forefront of effective advocacy and social change that results in equality and equity for all citizens of the world.
Pi Kappa Omega was chartered on June 28, 1986 in New York City by forty-two members of the NY Pearls Interest Group. As a graduate chapter of the North Atlantic Region, of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Incorporated, Pi Kappa Omega has continued to positively serve local and regional communities through education, scholarship, leadership, health and environmental awareness.
We proudly engage Sorority members in sisterly related activities that foster and strengthen a bond that has united members for over a hundred years, and work together to engage and serve communities on a variety of philanthropic initiatives.
