Alpha Kappa Alpha: International historically African American collegiate sorority
Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Inc. (ΑΚΑ) is the first intercollegiate historically African American sorority. The sorority was founded on January 15, 1908, at the historically black Howard University in Washington, D.C., by a group of sixteen students led by Ethel Hedgemon Lyle. Forming a sorority broke barriers for African American women in areas where they had little power or authority due to a lack of opportunities for Black Americans in the early 20th century. Alpha Kappa Alpha was incorporated on January 29, 1913.
