Mu Kappa Omega Chapter History

Through the vision of Mu Kappa Omega’s two charter members, Pamiel Gaskin and Delores Smith, and the dedication and diligence of a group of visionary sorors, the Missouri City chapter of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Inc. was formed.  On June 24, 1978, before the 48th Boule, the chapter was chartered. The chartering ceremony was officiated by the South Central Regional Director, Soror Deralyn Riles Davis of Fort Worth, Texas.   There were forty three reactivated sorors as charter members of Mu Kappa Omega.

OUR PURPOSE
