"Pearls Perpetually Pivoting with Power."

Casual RCO Chapter Pic.jpg

The Rho Chi Omega Chapter was born from the shared vision, determination, and sisterly commitment of dedicated members of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Incorporated®. United by a desire to recruit, reclaim, and retain inactive sorors across North Alabama, these trailblazing women laid the foundation for a new era of service and sisterhood. In the fall of 1987, more than fifty accomplished and diverse women came together with purpose and passion to establish a Graduate Chapter serving Madison and Morgan Counties and the surrounding communities.

After years of unwavering dedication and perseverance, twenty-seven remarkable women emerged as the “Cultured Pearls.” Their steadfast efforts culminated in a historic milestone on July 29, 1989, when they were proudly chartered as the Rho Chi Omega Chapter of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Incorporated®. This moment marked the beginning of a legacy rooted in excellence, service, and sisterhood that continues to flourish today.
