Welcome to the Official Website of the Upsilon Lambda Omega Chapter!
Greetings, and thank you for visiting our site!
The Upsilon Lambda Omega Chapter is honored to serve southern Dallas County and Ellis County. Chartered in DeSoto, Texas, on January 11, 1997, we proudly celebrate 28 years of impactful service and sisterhood.
Our chapter comprises over 200 passionate and committed women who dedicate themselves to making a meaningful difference in the lives of others. Together, as Sisters in Strength: Building Together, Leading with Purpose, we embody collaboration, empowerment, and purpose-driven leadership in every endeavor."
We are actively implementing the 2022–2026 International Program: Soaring to Greater Heights of Service and Sisterhood℠. This administration has six initiatives. Strengthen Our Sisterhood serves as the “Foundation Initiative,” emphasizing the importance of strengthening our bonds to support our service mission. The remaining five initiatives will serve as the “Program Initiatives.” These include empowering families by providing food and mental health resources, equipping individuals with education and tools to build their economic wealth, enhancing our environment through sustainable practices, advocating for social justice to promote equity and fairness, and uplifting our communities through targeted programs and outreach.
Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Incorporated® was founded in 1908 on the campus of Howard University in Washington, D.C. As the oldest Greek-letter organization established by African American college-educated women, AKA is a global sisterhood of over 360,000 initiated members across graduate and undergraduate chapters in 12 nations and territories, including the United States, Bahamas, Bermuda, Canada, United Arab Emirates, Germany, Japan, Liberia, Nigeria, South Korea, South Africa, and the U.S. Virgin Islands.
Under the leadership of our International President & CEO, Danette Anthony Reed, a proud Dallas native, Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority continues to shine as “America’s premier Greek-letter organization for African American women.”
We are delighted to share our work and legacy with you. Follow us on Facebook and Instagram to stay connected, and we warmly invite you to join us at one of our many public programs. We strive to positively impact through service, education, and community outreach.
