Chapter History
The chapter was chartered on August 13, 1977 by Mrs. Norma Solomon White, the Regional Director of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Incorporated. Annie Pearcey was named the chapter’s First Chartering President.
In 1978, we started a tutoring program for 10th and 11th graders at Lincoln Middle School in Manatee County and Booker High School in Sarasota County. Our first scholarship recipient was Vickie Pearcey from Sarasota High School, class of 1978. Vickie then attended the University of Miami and became a member of the sorority.
