Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Incorporated has upheld the principles of service and sisterhood since 1908. The 2022-2026 administration theme, "Soaring to Greater Heights of Service and Sisterhood," aims to continue this legacy by mobilizing active members to lead in change, education, and advocacy. The Omicron Chapter actively supports these national initiatives through each of our programming and community service efforts.
