ALPHA KAPPA ALPHA SORORITY, INC.
Iota Epsilon Omega Chapter
Serving Bergen County Since 1971
A Message from Our President
Welcome to the Official Website of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Incorporated®, Iota Epsilon Omega Chapter!
Since our chartering in 1971, Iota Epsilon Omega Chapter has been a pillar of sisterhood and service in Bergen County, New Jersey. For over 50 years, we have proudly dedicated ourselves to uplifting our community and empowering girls and women.
Our impact has been reflected in countless initiatives we have executed since our inception. These include voter registration, health and educational advocacy, economic development, and promotion of the arts. Over the decades, we have championed education and youth leadership development as demonstrated by over $400,000 raised in scholarships for deserving students of Bergen County. We are committed to creating a legacy of compassion for others, dedicated leadership, and meaningful collaborations. By strengthening the bonds among our members and forming partnerships with other graduate chapters, undergraduate chapters, and community organizations, we continue to lead with purpose for the betterment of our community.
Under the direction of our International President, Danette Anthony Reed, the platform for the 2022-2026 administration is Soaring to Greater Heights of Service and Sisterhood. The sorority seeks to build upon our rich legacy of service by galvanizing our sisterhood of more than 120,000 active members to lead on the front lines of change, education, and advocacy. There are six initiatives under this platform (taken from the international website: aka1908.com). 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, and Uplift Our Local Community.
We invite you to explore our site to learn more about our history, programs, and ongoing work to serve all mankind. Together, we honor the legacy of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Incorporated® while embracing a future of continued sisterhood and service.
Yours in Service,
Yolonda R. Pickett, M.D.
Iota Epsilon Omega Chapter President
