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.
