The Louisiana House of Representatives has passed a resolution to commend the Sigma Rho Omega Chapter of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Incorporated, on the occasion of its thirty-fifth anniversary. Established on May 19, 1990, by six dedicated women in Shreveport, the chapter has significantly contributed to the northwest Louisiana community through its commitment to the sorority's mission of "Service to All Mankind." Over the years, the chapter has grown to include over two hundred members, including educators, healthcare professionals, and civic leaders, and has implemented various programs, such as the Debutante Program, which has mentored over six hundred fifty high school seniors.
In addition to its mentorship initiatives, the Sigma Rho Omega Chapter has awarded more than two hundred eighty-eight scholarships and completed over sixty thousand hours of community service in the past two decades. The chapter has also established the Pearls of Humanity Foundation to enhance its philanthropic efforts and has actively participated in initiatives addressing childhood hunger, providing thousands of meals to those in need. The resolution recognizes the chapter's unwavering dedication to community upliftment and its alignment with the International Program Initiatives of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, which aim to improve the quality of life in the communities they serve.
