Welcome to Pi Xi Omega Chapter of
Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Inc.
Serving the Passaic County Community
for over 20 Years...
Expressing Sisterly Practices
Chrystal Cleaves, President
In 1908, Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Inc. became America's first Greek-letter organization established by Black college women. Her roots date back to Howard University, Washington, D.C., where the idea was conceived by Ethel Hedgeman-Lyle of St. Louis, Missouri. In this year of 2008, this illustrious organization celebrated a breath-taking achievement. We celebrated 100 years of Sisterhood & Service.
Alpha Kappa Alpha is a sisterhood composed of women who have chosen this affiliation as a means of self-fulfillment through volunteer service. Alpha Kappa Alpha women join together, first as sisters, and then as community servants to provide our neighborhoods with hope for a brighter tomorrow.
Twenty-three wonderful women, who had a Vision for a better community, established Pi Xi Omega Chapter in 1986. Their vision grew into the illustrious chapter you know and see today. In 2006, we celebrated 20 years of service to the Passaic County community.
Pi Xi Omega Chapter has shown an interest in Passaic County by rendering various service projects, some of which include:
- Mentoring/Tutorial Programs for students from various public schools
- AKAteens Youth Program for high school females
- Host of Bi-Annual Debutante Ball
- Host of a Free Annual Women's Health Conference
- Host of Black College Tour
One of Pi Xi Omega's focal concerns is our young people and their educational foundation. Therefore, following this committment, we have provided scholarships for high school Seniors for the past several years. Your support of our programs and events have contributed greatly to our mission. Thank you for your continued support!
May God Bless and Keep You in Perfect Peace,
Chrystal Cleaves
Chapter President
