Chapter History
In the mid-1980s, an idea was conceived and promoted that a second Alpha Kappa Alpha Chapter could grow, flourish and be productive in the Greater Greenville area. The idea encompassed the realization that this newly organized chapter, functioning as a side-by-side force could strengthen the beaming light of an enriched and community-purposed Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority in the upstate region of South Carolina.
Following the documented determination and intuitiveness of AKA founder, Ethel Hedgemen in 1908, a group of 17 women was officially organized as the Sparkling Pearls Interest Group. Following and executing the required set-up guidelines necessitated intricate and time-consuming steps and hurdles. Consequently, on May 24, 1986, at Riverside High School in Greer, SC, with the then South Atlantic Regional Director, Mary Shy Scott presiding, the chartering ceremony of the Pi Zeta Omega Chapter of the Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority took its significant and meaningful place in the channels of history.
