Iota Psi Omega History
Iota Psi Omega, a graduate chapter of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Incorporated, is located in Athens, Georgia, approximately 65 miles from the state capitol of Atlanta.
Chartered in 1973, the charter members of Iota Psi Omega organized to form a chapter that would serve the greater Athens area through the International Program Targets of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority and improve the lives of the citizens in the area.
Iota Psi Omega is very active in serving the community through several signature programs, including the Ivy Affair Benefit Gala (annually held in December), an annual coat drive and the Little Miss Fashionetta Scholarship Pageant. Additionally, Iota Psi Omega has partnered with other local organizations to hold health fairs and raise money for breast cancer research. Chapter members work diligently to raise funds for scholarships for deserving high school seniors and strive to perpetuate the motto of Alpha Kappa Alpha, “service to all mankind.”
