Kappa Omicron Omega Chapter 

In the kingdom of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Inc. ®

Nineteen Sorors of the County of Polk sat down to think

Of ways to dedicate their services to mankind

To include encouraging and cultivating minds.

In Lakeland, Florida on October 4, 1975 A. D.

These Sorors’ dream became a reality

 

Kappa Omicron Omega – Chartered by Soror Norma S. White

Was born to the Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority to further its plight.

 

On June 10, 1978, A.D., four new members followed after

And was first on line of the Kappa Omicron Omega Chapter.

The second line of pledges was accepted in May, 1983…

Thus continuing expansion of the AKA Sorority.

 

Extending throughout our Imperial Polk

Thru this Chapter – several projects were evoked.

The Chapter offers many challenging opportunities

And implements new concepts in Polk County’s communities.

Reigning majestically in its community and court

They’ve sought and achieved county-wide support.
