History of the Rho Chi Omega Chapter
Our History
The Rho Chi Omega Chapter was founded from a shared vision of several determined members of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Incorporated®—to recruit, reclaim, and retain inactive sorors in North Alabama. In the fall of 1987, more than 50 accomplished and diverse women came together to form a new Graduate Chapter to serve Madison and Morgan Counties and nearby communities.
After years of dedication and perseverance, 27 women emerged as the “Cultured Pearls.” On July 29, 1989, they were officially chartered as the Rho Chi Omega Chapter.
Our Impact
Since its founding, Rho Chi Omega has upheld the Sorority’s mission of “Service to All Mankind.” The chapter continues to support a variety of local and national organizations, making a lasting impact throughout the community.
With over 160 active members today, the chapter has grown in both size and service. Signature programs such as the Angel Pageant and Prince to King Mentoring Program are beloved community initiatives that empower and uplift youth across the region.
Rho Chi Omega is also proud to support educational advancement, having awarded over $100,000 in scholarships to deserving college-bound students.
Our Commitment
Rho Chi Omega remains devoted to the International Program Theme:
“Soaring to Greater Heights of Service & Sisterhood.”
We continue to honor the founding principles of Alpha Kappa Alpha—sisterhood, service, leadership, and a passionate commitment to revitalizing our communities. Together, we proudly “Soar to Greater Heights and Ignite the Power of US!”
