This resolution honors Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Inc.®, a historically Black sorority founded on January 15, 1908, at Howard University by nine women dedicated to academic excellence, sisterhood, and community service. The resolution highlights the organization's significant growth, now boasting over 1,075 chapters internationally with more than 120,000 active members and 365,000 total initiates worldwide. It recognizes the sorority's core tenets, which include promoting unity, studying and addressing women's issues, maintaining interest in college life, and serving humanity.
