Serving Little Rock, Arkansas Since 1937

Greetings from the President

Greetings,
Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Incorporated® Beta Pi Omega Chapter was chartered on March 13, 1937. It is the first graduate chapter chartered in Arkansas by 11 young college-educated women with a purpose of serving communities in Greater Little Rock. Since its chartering, members have been committed to implementing and executing the international program of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Incorporated®. Under the leadership of our International President and CEO, Danette Anthony Reed, we endeavor to execute her vision and administration’s theme of Soaring to Greater Heights of Service & Sisterhood. Our mission is to uplift and improve the lives of members in our communities by implementing the six initiatives of the sorority’s international program: Strengthen Our Sisterhood, Empower Our Families, Build Our Economic Wealth, Enhance Our Environment, Advocate for Social Justice, and Uplift Our Local Community.
Currently, Beta Pi Omega Chapter has a membership of over 250 members who are passionate about dedicating their time, talents, and resources to supporting our initiatives and who realize that serving members of our community is indeed a privilege. In March 2025, we will celebrate 88 years of service in the Greater Little Rock area.
We are also very proud of our premier partnership with The Ivy Foundation of Little Rock. Through this partnership, our chapter is enabled to implement impactful programs and service in the community. We currently support students in the Little Rock School District at Bale Elementary with our Childhood Hunger Initiative Power Pack (CHIPP™) program, where we provide students with nutritional breakfast, lunch, and snack items to help get them through their weekends and our Youth Leadership Institute™, which is a monthly leadership program focusing on the foundation of leadership and success in youths, ages 11-13 years old. Beta Pi Omega also partners with The Ivy Foundation of Little Rock to host our Annual Scholarship Program in April and our Annual Ivy Ball in February.
We invite you to stay abreast of events planned by our chapter, The Ivy Foundation of Little Rock, and volunteer opportunities for you to serve in our communities. You may visit us via our other social media pages on Facebook and Instagram.
The members of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Incorporated® Beta Pi Omega Chapter appreciate your interest in learning more about our chapter and our commitment to service and sisterhood. We thank you for your continued support of our mission to be of “Service to All Mankind.”
Kind regards,
​
