Senate Resolution No. by Senator Jackson-Andrews designates Tuesday, April 14, 2026, as AKA Day at the Louisiana State Capitol in honor of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Incorporated (AKA). Founded in 1908 at Howard University, AKA is the first Greek-letter sorority established by African-American college women and has grown to include over three hundred thousand members across more than one thousand chapters worldwide. The sorority is dedicated to community service and initiatives that promote health, education, civic engagement, and economic empowerment, with a focus on five primary service areas.
The resolution commends the members of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority for their exemplary leadership and significant contributions to their communities, both locally and globally. It highlights their ongoing commitment to various initiatives, including health awareness, economic wealth building, and social justice advocacy. AKA Day serves as a platform for sorority members to engage with legislators on issues affecting their communities, and the resolution expresses appreciation for the positive impact these women have made over the past 116 years.
