Requirements

  • Completion of a baccalaureate degree, with at least a C+ cumulative average, or a graduate or professional degree (Ph.D., M.D., J.D., etc.) from an accredited college or university
    • C+ is equivalent to a 2.50 on a 4.0 scale if the school does not have a plus or minus on the grading scale;
  • Motivation and talents to help promote, implement and extend policies and programs of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority;
  • Attendance at Information Session with the required documents listed in the Letter of Invitation

Process

Graduate membership is by invitation only and is not solicited through our graduate chapters. Graduate chapters host public events, such as forums, cultural presentations and social activities, so that prospective candidates can become acquainted with chapter members and learn about service activities they offer to local communities.

Utilize the Chapter Locator in About AKA to locate graduate chapters and contacts in or near your community.

The Graduate Membership Intake Process (MIP) begins with a Letter of Invitation, signed by the graduate chapter president AND membership chairman on chapter stationery. There are no membership activities prior to receipt of an official invitation letter, and the Sorority prohibits partaking in MIP activities prior to receiving an official letter.

  • Pledging is not a part of the membership process, and anyone who knowingly and willingly participates in pledging activities may be forbidden membership with the Sorority. Additionally, suspension and/or expulsion may result if it is later discovered that an individual participated in pledging activities once a member.
