Wear a Mask. It's a Serious Matter.
Welcome to Upsilon Omega Chapter
Welcome to the official website of the Upsilon Omega Chapter of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Incorporated ®.
Greetings,
In 1925, Upsilon Omega Chapter was chartered in Richmond, Virginia, making it the first
Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Incorporated® chapter to be established in the Richmond
Metropolitan area. We salute Upsilon Omega's founders: Sydney Mayo Brown, Zenobia
Henderson Gilpin, Ruth Thomas Hargrave, Leah Virginia Lewis, and Gladys Powell, for their
vision and goals. Over the past 95 years, Sorors have sustained joy in sisterhood, leadership, and
service to humankind.
We continue to thrive through service programs for women, men, and youth throughout the
Richmond area. Initiatives addressing families, mentoring youth development, and supporting the arts, education, health and wellness, economic security, and civic involvement comprise the chapter's rich legacy.
Welcome to our website to learn about our illustrious history and other pertinent information. Our programs and activities carry out the mission and goals of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Incorporated®, under the leadership of our International President, Dr. Glenda Glover. As Upsilon Omega implements the Program Targets under the theme "Exemplifying Excellence Through Sustainable Service"; we address the following target areas: HBCU for life and the signature program #CAP, Women's Healthcare and Wellness, Building Our economic Legacy,
