Happy Spring!

Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Inc., Beta Chi Omega Chapter members Marylen Harmon and Donna Williams planted lettuce, onions, cabbage and other cool weather plants at the Carver Gardens. Through our sorority’s Enhance Our Environment program initiative, we encourage everyone to contribute to their community and home gardens to reduce negative environmental impact and promote sustainable agriculture.

Please share in the comments if you are out in the garden this spring!

On this day, we did more than step pretty.. We made a FIRST move that secured the legacy.

On January 29, 1913, led by the visionary and fearless Nellie M. Quander, Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Incorporated® became officially incorporated and protected. Sister Nellie’s leadership ensured that what our Founders built would not only last, but be preserved with intention, structure, and foresight.

This was legacy protection in real time. This was a woman seeing ahead, standing on business, and safeguarding the future of our sisterhood.

113 years later, we are still benefiting from that bold decision, built on Principle, Preservation, and Perpetuity.

Happy Incorporation Day, Sisters!🩷💚

What an unforgettable and historic moment for Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Inc., Beta Chi Omega Chapter. 💚💗

Chapter President Cleopatra Kitt, PhD was honored to represent our chapter as part of the International Delegation at Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Inc.’s 118th International Founders’ Day celebration and Alpha Delta Psi Omega chapter chartering in Accra, Ghana, Africa. This marks a powerful legacy moment—having chapter representation at an International Founders’ Day on the African continent. The Chapter President was joined by Rajeeyah Congleton-Rahman, Beta Chi Omega member and dedicated Graduate Advisor to the Theta Phi Chapter at Virginia Tech University, making this experience even more meaningful.

We stood on sacred ground celebrating our rich history, honoring our Founders, and continuing the global legacy of service and sisterhood. This is history in the making, and Beta Chi Omega was present. 💚💗
