The resolution commends Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Incorporated, for its significant contributions to the community and designates February 25, 2025, as Alpha Kappa Alpha Day at the State Capitol. Founded in 1908 at Howard University, Alpha Kappa Alpha is recognized as the first Greek-letter organization for college-educated Black women and has grown to over 360,000 members worldwide. The sorority includes notable figures such as former Vice President Kamala Harris and various influential professionals across multiple fields, highlighting its impact on society.
The resolution emphasizes the sorority's commitment to service, particularly in education, the arts, economic development, and healthcare, as part of its mission "Service to All Mankind." It acknowledges the presence of 21 chapters throughout Arkansas, which actively engage in community efforts. The designated day at the State Capitol aims to bring together Arkansas's constitutional officers, elected officials, and sorority members to promote participation in the legislative process and celebrate the sorority's ongoing positive influence in the state and beyond.
