Take a look at how Kappa Alpha Omega works, has fun, and serves the community of the Mississippi Delta, the South Eastern Region, and Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Incorporated!
As a service organization, we pour our hearts into giving back to the community—but we also recognize the importance of taking care of ourselves. Our chapter is proud to have hosted "Taking Care of Our Mental Health," an event designed for our senior members and those members who serve as caregivers.
Soaring in Sisterhood & Service Spring 2025
We were honored to participate in the incredible Community Baby Shower hosted by Plan A. This event was all about uplifting and supporting expectant mothers in our community, ensuring they have the resources, love, and knowledge they need on their journey into motherhood.
Our chapter proudly participated as a vendor, focusing on the critical topic of Black Maternal Mental Health and three other endeavors close to our hearts; Breast Cancer Awareness, Pink Goes Red for Heart Health, and Black Maternal Health. We shared valuable insights, resources, and conversations about the importance of wellness, support, and advocacy for Black mothers.
We had an amazing time coming together for our Annual Earth Day event, which celebrated Arbor Day. This year, we were thrilled to be joined by the incredible Epsilon Pi Chapter of Mississippi Valley State University and the inspiring Youth Leadership Institute (YLI) Cohorts, who helped us plant eight Lavender Lace Crape Myrtle Trees along US Hwy 82. Planting these 8 trees along US Hwy 82 will enhance its scenic charm and environmental value, contributing to a greener and more inviting community space for everyone! From planting trees to strengthening community bonds, it was a day filled with teamwork and love for our planet. A HUGE thank you to all the volunteers and participants who made this event so impactful! Together, we are taking strides towards a greener, healthier future!
Kappa Alpha Omega Chapter is honored to bring warmth, nourishment, and fellowship to our underserved and unsheltered neighbors.
We observed the Founders' Day of our beloved Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Incorporated®. We celebrated 117 years of Sisterhood, service, and impact during our observance.
