The idea of organizing a chapter of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority Incorporated was conceived by Melita Woodard and was accepted/approved at the 1948 Boule in DC. Upon approval she and another member, Odessa Waters, Dean of Students, worked to select the chartering members.

In honor of our 68th Anniversary today make a donation to the Melita W. Woodard Memorial Endowed Scholarship at Jackson State: http://www.jsums.edu/giveonline/

On April 24, 1949 on the campus of THEE Jackson State University 11 women became charter members of the chapter that would eventually allow me to join this amazing sisterhood. Today we salute our Sorors Melita Woodard and Odessa Waters and the 11 charter members.
