About Alpha Gamma Chapter of Alpha Kappa Alpha
Since its establishment at UCLA on January 25, 1925, the Alpha Gamma Chapter of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Inc. has served as a cornerstone of community and sisterhood in Los Angeles. As part of a legacy dating back to the organization's founding on January 15, 1908, at Howard University, Alpha Gamma carries forward a mission centered on cultivating high scholastic and ethical standards while promoting unity and friendship among college women.
The chapter's foundational purpose remains deeply rooted in addressing the needs of girls and women while working to improve their social stature through education and advocacy. The women of Alpha Gamma embody the organization's commitment to being of Service to All Mankind, channeling this principle through student-led initiatives that reflect both the historical mission and contemporary priorities set by International leadership. This balance between honoring tradition and embracing progress defines the chapter's identity within the UCLA community.
Alpha Gamma's notable programs, including Think Pink Go Green Week and AKA Goes Red, demonstrate how the chapter translates its values into action that resonates with students and the broader Los Angeles area. These initiatives showcase the organization's dedication to raising awareness about critical issues while building community connections and fostering meaningful dialogue among members and supporters.
The women of Alpha Gamma represent a continuation of the legacy established by the organization's twenty founding members, known as the "Pearls," whose vision shaped Alpha Kappa Alpha into a transformative force for college women. In Los Angeles, the chapter maintains this commitment to scholarship, sisterhood, and service, creating a welcoming community for women who share values of personal excellence and social responsibility.
