Posted By: How May I Help You NC on January 15, 2012 Alpha Kappa Alpha sorority’s mission has been to cultivate and encourage high scholastic and ethical standards, to promote unity and friendship among college women, to study and help alleviate problems concerning girls and women in order to improve their social stature, to maintain a progressive interest in college life, and to be of “Service to All Mankind.” Founded January 15, 1908 on the campus of Howard University in Washington, DC Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority is the oldest Greek-letter organization established by African American college-trained women. The founders of this organization are: Anna Easter Brown, Beulah Burke, Lillie Burke, Marjorie Hill, Margaret Flagg Holmes, Ethel Hedgeman Lyle, Lavinia Norman, Lucy Slowe and Marie Woolfolk Taylor. Led by Ethel Hedgeman Lyle, the nine Howard University students who came together to form Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority were the scholastic leaders of their classes. We salute you as you celebrate 104 years of sisterhood and "Service to All Mankind."
