This resolution recognizes Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Incorporated (AKA), an international service organization founded in 1908 at Howard University, as the oldest Greek-letter organization established by African American college-educated women. The resolution highlights AKA's significant achievements, including its global membership of over 355,000 members across multiple countries, and its mission of cultivating high scholastic and ethical standards, promoting unity among college women, addressing issues affecting women and girls, maintaining progressive interest in college life, and serving mankind. The resolution specifically acknowledges AKA's presence in Kansas, with five graduate and four undergraduate chapters at universities including the University of Kansas, Kansas State University, Washburn University, and Wichita State University. The document formally recognizes the sorority's outstanding service to citizens at the state, national, and international levels, and commends their ongoing commitment to sisterhood, service, and advocacy. As a final procedural step, the resolution directs the Secretary of the Senate to send enrolled copies to various AKA chapter presidents and leaders.
