Alpha Kappa Alpha Founders Day

Alpha Kappa Alpha celebrates Founders Day 2010. The sorority that was founded on January 15, 1908 turns 102 years ago today. Alpha Kappa Alpha (???) was established and incorporated by African American college women at Howard University in Washington, D.C., by a group of nine students, led by Ethel Hedgeman Lyle.

On July 17, 2008, Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority set a Guiness World Record when 16,206 members set a record by having the largest-ever silver service sit-down dinner in a convention.
