The History of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Inc.

Alpha Kappa Alpha cuts across racial, international, physical and social barriers to help individuals and communities develop and maintain constructive relationships with each other.

Today the spirit of Alpha Kappa Alpha is the spirit of Sisterhood in which we serve in our communities, across the nation and around the world.

The History of the Pi Delta Omega Chapter of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Inc.

In April 1985, a group of inactive Sorority members allied to begin the planning of establishing a new chapter in the south Miami Dade County. By the end of July, activities were well underway to not only demonstrate a need for a second chapter in the Greater Miami area, but also to comply with requirements for chartering.

On February 8, 1986, the new chapter was chartered at The Kings Bay Yacht and Country Club.The chapter has been named as a benefactor in the volunteer category for Dade County Public Schools, adopted a Women’s Cooperative African Village, provided assistance to several local families and senior citizens. Pi Delta Omega has also initiated cultural arts programs by showcasing the works of local artists in conjunction with Miami Dade College; presented Little Miss Fashionetta contests for fourth and fifth grade girls; sponsored a mentoring program for high school girls; conducted after-school tutorial programs at more than ten elementary and middle schools; participated in voter registration drives; and donated to blood drives, the Red Cross, March of Dimes, Lupus Foundation, and the University of Miami Breast Center.


Pi Delta Omega has provided more than $100,000 in scholarships to students attending Historically Black Colleges and Universities, more than $15,000 to the United Negro College Fund, approximately $10,000 to the local Sickle Cell Foundation, and more than $5,000 to Miami Bridge, a shelter for youth.

Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority Inc., Little Miss Fashionetta Contestants "Donate to Haiti Earthquake Victims"

Richmond Heights, FL --On January 16, 2010, the contestants of Little Miss Fashionetta, an annual scholarship fundraiser for Pi Delta Omega Chapter of Alpha Kappa Alpha, made a generous contribution to the Haiti relief effort. The eight 4th and 5th grade contestants realized the impact that the earthquake had on the people of Haiti and their community and decided quickly to play an active role. Reaching in to their piggy banks and opening their hearts, the young ladies collected over $700 in supplies. These supplies include but are not limited to, infant/toddler items, medical supplies and water. Little Miss Fashionetta Chairperson, Barbara Dent remarked that “It’s important to note that all donations were made from the girls’ own pockets”.

All collected items were brought to the Second Baptist Church in Richmond Heights. The contestants met for a second time on January 23, 2010 to box and wrap all the collected items for shipment. A jet comes bi-weekly to retrieve all donations for the relief effort. The items are then flown directly to Haiti. At the close of the successful drive, Senior Pastor /Teacher of The Second Baptist Church, Rev. Dr. Alphonso Jackson Sr. , presented certificates to each of the contestants for their hard work and service to their community and people of Haiti. Also, Minister Debbie Baker of Compassion in Action, fellow member of the Second Baptist Church, was on-hand to commend the young ladies for their selfless act. The Second Baptist Church is located on 11111 Pinkston Drive Miami, FL 33176.

Little Miss Fashionetta is an annual scholarship fundraiser of the Pi Delta Omega chapter of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Inc. Little Miss Fashionetta promotes the scholastic, civic, and extracurricular of young ladies 9-11 years of age. Barbara Dent is the chairperson of Little Miss Fashionetta 2010.
