List of Alpha Kappa Alpha members

Members of Congress, all of whom are Alpha Kappa Alpha sisters, among them then-Senator Kamala Harris, the first female Vice President of the United States

This list of Alpha Kappa Alpha sorors (commonly referred to as AKAs[1]) includes initiated and honorary members of Alpha Kappa Alpha (ΑΚΑ), the first inter-collegiate Greek-letter sorority established for Black college women.

Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority was founded on January 15, 1908, at Howard University in Washington, D.C., by nine women who were known as The Original Group of 1908, and seven sophomores, honor students who are also considered founders and are known as The Sophomores of 1910.[2]

Alpha Kappa Alpha has a membership of more than 200,000 women in over 950 chapters in the United States and several other countries. Membership is extended to female college undergraduate and graduate students. The sorority also bestows honorary membership as its highest honor.[3]

Listed below are notable Alpha Kappa Alpha women such as the founders and international presidents, and members who are involved in the fields of arts and entertainment, business, civil rights, education, health, law, politics, science, literature and sports.
