About Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority Inc., Zeta Alpha Chapter
Since its charter on November 28, 1970, Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority Inc., Zeta Alpha Chapter has been a beacon of sisterhood, scholarship, and service on the Arizona State University campus in Tempe, AZ. Built upon the foundation established by the sorority's 12 remarkable charter members, this chapter carries forward a legacy that traces back to 1908, when Alpha Kappa Alpha became the first Greek-letter sorority founded and established by African American college-educated women.
The Zeta Alpha Chapter embodies the vision of the sorority's founders, who believed in creating a support network of like-minded women dedicated to mutual uplift and community betterment. For over 50 years, the chapter has served as a vital community within ASU, fostering personal growth, intellectual development, and meaningful service initiatives that extend beyond campus borders into the broader Tempe community.
As part of the Far Western Region, Zeta Alpha Chapter connects its members to a global network of over 280,000 collegiate members and alumnae across 42 states and international locations. This expansive sisterhood provides members with lifelong connections, mentorship opportunities, and the chance to participate in service projects that address pressing community needs.
The chapter's commitment to scholarship and service reflects Alpha Kappa Alpha's core mission of raising up communities and creating positive social change. Through events like Skee Week and ongoing community engagement, Zeta Alpha Chapter maintains the traditions and values that have defined the sorority for over a century. The organization welcomes women at Arizona State University in Tempe who share a passion for sisterhood, academic excellence, and service to others, inviting them to become part of a storied legacy of empowerment and community impact.
