Membership in Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Incorporated® is by invitation only.

Alpha Kappa Alpha seeks women who will promote, uphold and extend its policies and programs. In return, the Sorority is a conduit through which individuals can grow and develop personally and professionally, while simultaneously providing “Service to All Mankind.”

GRADUATE MEMBERSHIP REQUIREMENTS

  • Completion of a baccalaureate degree, with at least a C+ cumulative average, or a graduate or professional degree (Ph.D., M.D., J.D., etc.) from an accredited college or university.

    • C+ is equivalent to a 2.50 on a 4.0 scale if the school does not have a plus or minus on the grading scale.

  • Attendance at an Information Session with the required documents listed in the Letter of Invitation.


GRADUATE MEMBERSHIP PROCESS

Graduate membership is by invitation only and is not solicited through our graduate chapters. Graduate chapters host public events, such as forums, cultural presentations and social activities, so that prospective candidates can become acquainted with chapter members and learn about service activities they offer to local communities. Do not actively seek membership into the Sorority.

​

Utilize the Chapter Locator to locate graduate chapters and contacts in or near your community.

​

The Graduate Membership Intake Process (MIP) begins with a Letter of Invitation signed by the graduate chapter president AND membership chairman on chapter stationery. There are no membership activities prior to receipt of an official invitation letter, and the Sorority prohibits partaking in ME activities prior to receiving an official letter. If you participate in any activities prior to the issuance of an acceptance letter, your application for membership will be denied.

  • Pledging, before, during, or after initiation, is not a part of the membership process, and anyone who knowingly and willingly participates in pledging activities will be denied membership into the Sorority. Additionally, suspension and/or expulsion may result if it is discovered that an individual participated in pledging activities after initiation as a member.
