AKA Members Celebrate Founders’ Day and 109 Years of Service

Special to The Truth

The members of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Incorporated®, Zeta Alpha Omega Graduate Chapter, along with undergraduate chapters, Alpha Lambda at the University of Toledo and Iota Iota at Bowling Green State University, hosted their annual Founders’ Day celebrating “109 Years of Service to All Mankind” with activities beginning on Friday, January 13.  

This year’s Founder’s Day theme was, “Celebrating the Roots of our Sisterhood.”

On Friday, January 13, members gathered at the movies for the film Hidden Figures that featured three brilliant African-American women who worked at NASA and were the brains behind one of the greatest space missions in history. The three women were members of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Inc®.

On Sunday, January 15, members gathered for a church service at United Missionary Baptist Church, followed by a luncheon program featuring speakers Martha Cotton, Clara Petty and Kimberly Fisher who represent three generations of Alpha Kappa Alpha women. Our celebration culminated on Monday January 16, with a MLK Day of Service Blitz, with members volunteering at the University of Toledo Unity Celebration; The Monroe St. Neighborhood Center; and Kitchen for the Poor.
