Alpha Kappa Alpha cultivates and encourages high scholastic and ethical standards, promotes unity and friendship among college women, alleviates problems concerning girls and women, maintains a progressive interest in college life, and serves all mankind through a nucleus of more than 170,000 women in over 900 chapters. Among the group's goals is to have an association that cuts across racial, international, physical, and social barriers to help individuals and communities develop and maintain constructive relationships with others. Though Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Incorporated, was founded to meet the collective needs of African Americans, its membership includes women of Caucasian, Asian, and Hispanic descent. Additionally, Alpha Kappa Alpha women can be found on every continent in the world. The sorority is a member of the National Pan-Hellenic Council (NPHC), a coordinating organization of nine (historically-Black) international Greek letter sororities and fraternities.
