SERVING WILMINGTON, DELAWARE & SURROUNDING COMMUNITIES FOR 100 YEARS & COUNTING
Welcome to the official website of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Incorporated,
Zeta Omega Chapter!
For over a century, Zeta Omega has stood as a beacon of service and sisterhood in the heart of Wilmington, DE. Since we were chartered in 1922, we have been dedicated to uplifting our community through a steadfast commitment to health awareness, cultural enrichment, education, and civic responsibility.
As we celebrate our 102-year history, we are proud of our diverse chapter of college-educated women, united by a bond that is both sincere and rare. Our members, spanning generations from our esteemed 75-year Diamond members to our innovative millennials, embody the values of faithfulness, love, and innovation that define our sisterhood.
At the heart of our chapter's legacy is our renowned Debutante Program and Ball, a tradition spanning seventy-five years that celebrates the transition of young women into adulthood. Through this program, we have touched several generations, nurturing and guiding each debutante with love and support.
Driven by our commitment both to our chapter and our corporate body, we are honored to implement our current international program, Soaring to Greater Heights of Service and Sisterhood, aimed at making a lasting impact in our community. This innovative program has six key areas of focus:
​
-
Strengthen Our Sisterhood
-
Empower Our Families
-
Build Our Economic Wealth
-
Enhance Our Environment
-
Advocate for Social Justice
-
Uplift Our Local Community
​
Through award-winning initiatives, we strive to address critical issues and uplift those we serve. We extend our heartfelt gratitude to our community partners and the public for your unwavering support throughout the years.
We invite you to explore our website to learn more about our chapter, programs, and upcoming events. Join us on social media to stay connected and informed about our latest endeavors. Many of our events are open to the public, and we welcome your participation.
