Through the years Alpha Kappa Alpha women have been college presidents, directors of Fortune 500 companies, judges, mayors, and members of Congress, state legislatures, teachers, counselors, and role models.

Through the years members have excelled in poetry, music, fine arts, and dance. They’ve fought for civil and human rights. They are the strong mothers and wives of brave men who have carried burdens in the heat of the day.

Through the years Alpha Kappa Alpha women have continued to make history. There are no average or even typical Alpha Kappa Alpha women. They fit no common physical descriptions or economic characteristics, yet they are all the same--these women who wear the twenty pearls. You can identify them by the smiles on their faces and the love in their eyes.
