Our History

Our goal is to achieve greater progress in the areas of education, health awareness, and leadership development.

Historical Highlights

Alpha Kappa Sigma Chapter was organized in 1945 by Soror Johnnie Yates Rice and chartered on February 2, 1946 in Round Rock, Texas. There were nine additional charter members, including Sorors Lucille Frazier, Alma Green, Annie Nola Harris, Mary James Dodson Johnson, Eddie Scott-Langdon, Laura Love, Betty G. Poole, Helen Hodge-Taylor, and Lillie S. Williams. U. V. Christian was an honorary member.


With World War II being fought during this time period, the chapter was concerned about assisting needy Black families with food. Thus, one of the major projects was donating boxes of food to several families for Christmas. This is just one example of how the group addressed community necessities when they were needed most.

Community Connections

 Currently, we partner with local civic organizations and implement programs and activities to improve the quality of life and provide opportunities for personal development for those we serve. From mentoring girls, to recognizing outstanding educators, to volunteering and serving Thanksgiving dinner at a local church, we embrace a variety of activities to intentionally give back to the community. “Greater service, Greater progress” is the sorority’s motto that we uphold to make positive contributions in our local community. Our chapter is located in the sorority’s Southwestern Region.
