Alpha Kappa Alpha\u2019s mission is to cultivate and encourage high scholastic and ethical standards, to promote unity and friendship among college women, to study and help alleviate problems concerning girls and women in order to improve their social stature, to maintain a progressive interest in college life, and to be of \u201cService to All Mankind.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Vision:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The small group of women who founded Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority at the turn of the last century was conscious of their privileged position as college-trained women of color just one generation removed from slavery. But at the same time, they were sensitive to the needs and struggles of the less fortunate in underserved communities in their hometowns and in other environs beyond their travels who were in need of goods, services, and opportunities beyond their reach. The young collegians\u2019 commitment to scholarship, leadership, civic engagement, and public service, woven together by the bonds of lifelong sisterhood, formed the bedrock of the rich legacy of servant-leadership that epitomizes the sorority to this day. And the global reach of its programs, laser-focused on the health, wealth, family, education, human rights, and parity issues that concern its constituents, ensures the relevance of the organization into perpetuity.<\/p>\n<p><strong>New Member Dues:\u00a0<\/strong>TBA<\/p>\n<p><strong>Active Member Dues:<span>\u00a0<\/span><\/strong>TBA<\/p>\n<p><strong>Length of New Member Period:<span>\u00a0<\/span><\/strong>Up to 6 Weeks<\/p>\n<p><a title=\"Alpha Kappa Alpha's National Website\" href=\"https:\/\/aka1908.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Alpha Kappa Alpha\u2019s National Website<\/a><br \/>\n<a title=\"Chapter Instagram\" href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/akaiotaupsilon\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Chapter Instagram<\/a><\/p>\n      <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n      <div class=\"accordion-item border border-gray-light\">\n      <div class=\"accordion-header-text\">\n        <h3 class=\"margin-bottom-0\">\n          <button class=\"accordion-header full-width background-gray-light-30 border-0 margin-0 padding-top-2 padding-bottom-2 padding-left-3 padding-right-3\" aria-expanded=\"false\">\n            Omega Psi Phi            <div class='accordion-toggle icon-right' class=''>\n              <i class='icon-chevron-right'><\/i>\n            <\/div>\n          <\/button>\n        <\/h3>\n      <\/div>\n      <div class='accordion-content'>\n        <h2>\u03a9\u03a8\u03a6<\/h2>\n<p><em>Omega Psi Phi Fraternity, Inc. &#8211; Kappa Chapter<\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong>National Founding Date:\u00a0<span>\u00a0<\/span><\/strong>November 17, 1911<\/p>\n<p><strong>Chapter Charter Date: <span>\u00a0<\/span><\/strong>February 18, 1922<\/p>\n<p><strong>Organization Principles:\u00a0<span>\u00a0<\/span><\/strong>Manhood, Scholarship, Perseverance and Uplift were adopted as Cardinal Principles.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Mission:\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span>Omega Psi Phi Fraternity, Inc. mission is to bring about union of college men of similar high ideals of scholarship and manhood in order to stimulate the attainment of ideas and ambitions of its members.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>Vision:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span>Occupy a progressive, helpful and constructive place in political life of the community and nation; and foster the humanity, freedom, and dignity of the individual; and aid downtrodden humanity in its efforts to achieve higher economic and intellectual status.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>New Member Dues:\u00a0<span>\u00a0<\/span><\/strong>$1,700 for the first 3 years<\/p>\n<p><strong>Active Member Dues:<span>\u00a0<\/span><\/strong>All covered in the first three year dues<\/p>\n<p><strong>Length of New Member Period:\u00a0<span>\u00a0<\/span><\/strong>6 Weeks<\/p>\n<p><strong>National Website:\u00a0<\/strong><span>\u00a0<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/oppf.org\/\">https:\/\/oppf.org<\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>Instagram:<\/strong><span>\u00a0<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/thesyraques\/\">@thesyraques<\/a><\/p>\n      <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n      <div class=\"accordion-item border border-gray-light\">\n      <div class=\"accordion-header-text\">\n        <h3 class=\"margin-bottom-0\">\n          <button class=\"accordion-header full-width background-gray-light-30 border-0 margin-0 padding-top-2 padding-bottom-2 padding-left-3 padding-right-3\" aria-expanded=\"false\">\n            Delta Sigma Theta            <div class='accordion-toggle icon-right' class=''>\n              <i class='icon-chevron-right'><\/i>\n            <\/div>\n          <\/button>\n        <\/h3>\n      <\/div>\n      <div class='accordion-content'>\n        <h2>\u0394\u03a3\u0398<\/h2>\n<p><em>Kappa Lambda Chapter of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong>National Founding Date:<\/strong><span>\u00a0<\/span>January 13, 1913<\/p>\n<p><strong>Chapter Charter Date:<\/strong><span>\u00a0<\/span>April 27, 1973<\/p>\n<p><strong>Organization Values:<span>\u00a0<\/span><\/strong><span>Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc. was founded on three basic principles: scholarship, public service, and sisterhood.
