ALPHA KAPPA ALPHA
NU IOTA OMEGA CHAPTER of ALPHA KAPPA ALPHA SORORITY was officially chartered on June 28, 1980 by then South Atlantic Regional Director,
Deloris Oliver. It all began in January of 1980, when four sorors, Doris Hawthorne, Shirley Austin, Gloria Grant and Elouise
Sistrunk through an informal discussion, began to realize that the North Orange-South Seminole county areas were lacking
in the kind of community involvement that Alpha Kappa Alpha advocates at local levels. The idea took hold, that all known
sorors in the area under discussion, would be contacted to ascertain their interest in setting up a chapter to implement Alpha
Kappa Alpha's purpose and programs. This action prompted immediate and positive responses from several sorors in the locale
and resulted in attracting a 17 member interest group which later became known as "NOSS" (North Orange / South Seminole).
DELTA OMICRON OMEGA Chapter of ALPHA KAPPA ALPHA SORORITY came to life In 1947, Sorors Georgia J. Schanck and Alfreda B. Wooden began a dialogue
with several Alpha Kappa Alpha sorors in the Orlando area about the establishment of a graduate chapter in Orlando, Florida.
A letter was directed to Soror Arnetta Gravely Wallace, the Southeastern Regional Director to determine the procedure for
chartering. After receiving directions, Sorors Ruby M. Bennett, Opal G. Bowles, Susie E. Jackson, Lessie B. Floyd, Celeste
C. Parrish, Georgia J. Schanck and Alfreda B. Wooden began the procedure outlined by the Regional Director.
Kappa Alpha Psi
The Winter Park Alumni Chapter received its charter in March 1992 after a yearlong effort to bring a second Kappa alumni
chapter to Central Florida because of the region’s rapid growth and community needs. Starting with 16 charter members,
Winter Park Alumni has grown modestly with more than 30 active members in 2004. The chapter’s target area for community
service is the northeastern corner of Central Florida from Winter Park to Deland. The membership is widely diverse in terms
of professional fields represented, which include law, finance, medicine, architecture, public relations, education, and engineering.
Omega Psi Phi Fraternity
The birth of Chi Tau Chapter began in 1960 when Mr. Cecil Boston, the principal of Jones High School, invited Judge Lawson
E. Thomas to be their commencement speaker for that year's graduating class. Mr. Boston invited a group of Omega Men to a
reception for Bro. Thomas, and from this meeting brothers C.J. Manigault, William V. Nixon, Robert L. Howard, Willie B. Pete,
Paul K. Tisdale, Ernest Niblack, Johnny L. Toney, Robert W. Hunt, Willie G. Holt, and G.H. Jones met at Murchison Terrace
Housing Office for several months to organize and obtain a charter.
In March of 1961 at Shiloh Baptist Church, through the perseverance of these Omega Men, Chi Tau Chapter was founded. The
chapter received its charter on January 8, 1962. Today there are over 130 active members in the chapter that have made and
demonstrated a commitment to serve the communities within Orlando over forty-five years.
Today, our Chapter meets on the third Saturday of each month to conduct the business of Omega and to grow our brotherly
bonds in fellowship.

Spring of 1990, there was a need to finally complete the list of historically black sororities at the University of Central
Florida. Therefore, with the help of the Delta Mu Sigma Alumnae Chapter, Lambda Mu's Herstory was created. The void was filled
by nine vibrant young women. These women represent four different countries: Antigua, Italy, Phillipines and the United States.
Their main focus of studies concentrated in the following disciplines: the study of life, educational development, business
and the intricacy of engineering.
