The Pi Omega Chapter of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Incorporated commemorates 100 years in the Scenic City.
"We are honoring a legacy of service, sisterhood and scholarship," officials said. "As part of this milestone, Pi Omega invites the community to its Centennial Gala on Saturday, June 28 at 6 p.m. at the Chattanooga Convention Center. This formal evening will feature dinner, dancing and a grand celebration, honoring the chapter's lasting impact on Chattanooga and beyond.
"Chartered on June 25, 1925, by five visionary women, the Pi Omega Chapter has spent a century championing education, health and social justice.
Over the past 100 years, the chapter has uplifted local young women through scholarships and cultural enrichment programs, including the tri-annual Fashionetta event.
"Pi Omega’s commitment to community service is evident through various initiatives. The chapter operates the Pi Omega Community Room in Emma Wheeler Homes, fosters environmental sustainability by partnering with the Reflection Riding Arboretum and Nature Center to plant trees and collaborates with the Matthew 25 Ministry of Olivet Baptist Church to support the homeless.
"Advocating for social justice, Pi Omega hosted a panel discussion addressing stigma, risks and treatment options for pregnant and postpartum women. Additionally, the Childhood Hunger Initiative Power Pack (aka CHIPP) ensures children at Harrison Elementary School receive meals on weekends and holidays, reinforcing the chapter’s dedication to meaningful impact.
"Join us in commemorating 100 years of excellence as we celebrate Pi Omega’s legacy and ongoing commitment to uplifting the community."
