Fourteen years after the founding of Alpha Kappa Alpha
Sorority Eta Chapter was established at the University of Minnesota
in 1922. As young women graduated from the University and wanted to
continue their affiliation with the sisterhood and the commitments to
the ideals of Alpha Kappa Alpha, there became a need to establish a
graduate chapter in the Twin Cities.
