Our Programs

MISSION STATEMENT

The mission of the Eta Omicron Chapter is to extend Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority's signature service to West Virginia University and the community beyond with determination, faith, and an unparalleled sisterhood.

Since 1973, the women of Eta Omicron Chapter have asked what is needed in this community for such a time as this. Eta Omicron Chapter has developed innovative programs, partnered with like-minded organizations to address the needs of our community. We are proud of our legacy, and look forward to a bright future continuing this work.

Service and sisterhood have been the cornerstone of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Incorporated® since 1908. With the theme Soaring to Greater Heights of Service and Sisterhood, the 2022-2026 administration seeks to build upon Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority’s rich legacy of service by galvanizing our sisterhood of more than 120,000 active members to lead on the front lines of change, education, and advocacy.

For the 2022-2026 administration, there are 6 initiatives.
