This resolution honors Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Inc. , commemorating its 117th anniversary since its founding on January 15, 1908, at Howard University. It recognizes the sorority's establishment by nine young women based on five core tenets, including cultivating high scholastic and ethical standards, promoting unity, and providing "Service to All Mankind." Since its incorporation in 1913, Alpha Kappa Alpha has grown significantly, now boasting over 1,075 international chapters and more than 120,000 active members. The organization is dedicated to implementing service programs that enhance local, national, and international communities, with its current 2022-2026 theme, "Soaring to Greater Heights of Service & Sisterhood," focusing on six key initiatives. These initiatives aim to empower members to lead in areas such as strengthening sisterhood, empowering families, building economic wealth, enhancing the environment, advocating for social justice, and uplifting local communities. The resolution ultimately commends Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Inc. for its enduring legacy of service and impact over more than a century.
