Founded at Howard University in Washington, D.C., in 1908, Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Inc., is the first sorority established by African American college women.

The sorority operates the Emerging Young Leaders Program serving approximately 10,000 girls in grades 6-8, providing leadership training, civic responsibility development, character education, and academic skill enhancement.

Alpha Kappa Alpha has partnered with organizations including Heifer International and the American Cancer Society to address global poverty, health disparities, and cancer prevention.

Under International President Carolyn House Stewart, the sorority addresses domestic violence, human trafficking, and services for children of incarcerated parents while promoting distracted driving awareness.

Florida Senate recognizes the sorority's commitment to community service and appreciates the thousands of volunteer hours contributed by members across the state.
