BNO Chapter of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Inc. Founders’ Day Luncheon

7900 Wynlakes Boulevard,Montgomery AL 36117

22 January, 2023

Description

Our founders were among the fewer than 1,000 Negroes enrolled in higher education institutions in 1908, and the 25 women who received bachelor of arts degrees from Howard University between 1908 and 1911. Nine juniors and seniors constituted the founding members. Seven sophomores who were extended an invitation for membership without initiation were endowed with founder status. Led by Ethel Hedgemon (Lyle), the nine Howard University students who came together to form Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority were the scholastic leaders of their classes. Each also had a special talent or gift that further enhanced the potential of this dynamic group. This year marks the 115th anniversary of our sorority’s founding. Please join us in celebrating this momentous occasion. The keynote speaker is our illustrious Southeastern Regional Director, Dr. Tracey Morant Adams!
