THE SPIRIT OF PI ALPHA OMEGA!

---

I am delighted to bring you greetings on behalf of the members of the Pi Alpha Omega Chapter of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Incorporated®. We are rooted in the powerful legacy of 30 incredible visionaries who changed the landscape of metro Atlanta when they sought to charter the Chapter on 

September 21, 1985. Guided by a spirit of service and fueled by the bonds of sisterhood,  these 30 women embarked on an ambitious plan to financially support students attending Historically Black Colleges and Universities, provide mentorship to teen mothers, partner with a local hospital to support the needs of the most vulnerable patients, provide book scholarships for local high school students, and partner with the Atlanta Public School system to provide culturally-relevant programming to students.

Today, that spirit of service and depth of commitment to the metro Atlanta community remains steadfast. Forty years after its chartering, Pi Alpha Omega Chapter has evolved into 400+ college-educated women who continue to significantly impact the communities we serve. In addition to implementing our International Program Targets under the leadership of our esteemed International President, Ms. Danette Anthony Reed, we have also:

• Signed Memorandums of Understanding with three community partners (Atlanta Public Schools, Habitat for Humanity, Cascade Nature Springs Preserve) and donated more than $15,000 to these organizations,
• Recognized 50 high school seniors attending Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) and awarded $20,000+ in scholarships,
• Hosted a community forum highlighting the History, Entrepreneurship, Advocacy, and Resiliency of Historically Black Colleges and Universities
• Partnered with the League of Women Voters, Atlanta-Fulton County, to host Candidate Forums for all Districts throughout the County,
• Led a Metro-Atlanta wide service project at Morris Brown College,
• Hosted the first-ever Hybrid Metro-Atlanta Founders' Day program at the Mercedes-Benz Stadium, and awarded $10,000 in scholarships to college students, and so much more!
  

We invite you to learn more about our HERstory and programs of service as you explore our website, and we look forward to you supporting our efforts to be of "Service to all Mankind."

In the Spirit of Sisterhood,

Erika Walker-Cash, President
