DANVILLE, Va. â On Sunday, May 31, 1931, a group of five college-educated, civic minded women with a commitment to addressing the social and cultural issues of the day took a leap of faith to embrace the values of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, the oldest historically Black Greek letter organization for women.
The bold actions of these Charter Members set Alpha Phi Omega Chapter on a trajectory that would impact this community and surrounding area for ninety years.
Since 1931, the sorority chapter has been actively involved in serving the community through partnerships with local school systems and community agencies by providing educational programs, assisting the needy, and holding financial workshops. The sororityâs signature programs, the Debutante Ball and Little Miss Fashionettaannually provide $10,000 in scholarships to needy students in Danville and Pittsylvania and surrounding counties. The chapter also provides funds to support such organizations as the Boys and Girls Club, Danville Parks and Recreation, Project Literacy, and House of Hope.
