Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Inc. has an honor that cannot be dismissed or overlooked.  Founded on January 15, 1908 at Howard University in Washington, D.C., it became the FIRST National Sorority for Black Women.  Because of this founding, Black women proved to mankind their ability to serve and their willingness to give unselfishly to others.

November 2, 1946 marked a historical event for Albany, Georgia when eleven (11) insightful women gathered to charter The FIRST BLACK Greek Organization in Albany, namely Delta Eta Omega Chapter of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Inc.  The eleven visionary charter members were: Rose Bernard, Christine Brogdon, Martha Brown, Thelma O. French, Allie B. Horne, Beulah Jones, Ruth Kimbrough, Rose McGlockton, Virginia Paulk, Johnnie M. Reynolds, and Olive Rogers.

The members of Delta Eta Omega Chapter opened a Sick Baby Clinic at the Dougherty County Health Center in 1948.  This was the only clinic in the City of Albany to care for Negro children.

In 1949, Gamma Sigma Chapter at Albany State College (University) was chartered under the supervision of Delta Eta Omega Chapter as the first sorority on the campus.

Delta Eta Omega Chapter sponsored its first Fashionetta in 1951 by presenting a renowned play, Guest In The House. In 1955, the chapter participated in the first Annual AKA Gift Shop by donating Christmas gifts to the Veterans Administration Hospital in Tuskegee, Alabama.  A year later, a new project to bring cheer to those of the Home for the Aged was started in 1956 in Albany by the chapter and continues to exist.
