ALPHA KAPPA ALPHA SORORITY, INCORPORATED ®
ALPHA PSI OMEGA CHAPTER
On behalf of the Alpha Psi Omega Chapter of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Incorporated®, I bring you greetings.
Alpha Psi Omega, chartered June 2, 1932, has served the Greater Wilmington, NC area with distinction for years. Our charter members had a vision, which culminated in Alpha Psi Omega, the FIRST Greek letter organization among African-American women in Southeastern North Carolina. We have celebrated over 90 years of service and sisterhood in this area.
The program theme for 2022-2026 is Soaring to Greater Heights of Service and Sisterhood. This administration has six initiatives. Strengthen Our Sisterhood will serve as the administration’s “Foundation Initiative” as we strengthen our bonds to support our service mission. The remaining five initiatives will serve as the “Program Initiatives” which include:
Empower Our Families
Build Our Economic Wealth
Enhance Our Environment
Advocate for Social Justice
Uplift Our Local Community
In order to execute this program, we partner with local civic and government organizations to directly help our neighbors at the point of impact.
We invite you to explore our website to see the evidence of our work in the community and the programming thrusts we emphasize. We also serve as mentors and advisors to the UNCW Omicron Phi undergraduate chapter.
We look forward to working with you as we Soar to Greater Heights of Service and Sisterhood.
In Sisterly Service,
Onya Z. Gardner,
President
