President's Message

Welcome to the official website for the Nu Gamma Omega Chapter of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Incorporated®!

Chartered on February 16, 1980, Nu Gamma Omega Chapter of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Incorporated was chartered as the second graduate chapter established in Baton Rouge, Louisiana.  Since inception, we have been an integral part of the Greater Baton Rouge Community, delivering impactful programs and educational initiatives that align with our mission, “Service to All Mankind”.

Under the visionary leadership of our International President, Danette Anthony Reed, we embrace and promote her administration’s programs of service, “Soaring to Greater Heights of Service and Sisterhood.”  International Program Initiatives are Strengthen our Sisterhood, Empower our Families, Build our Economic Wealth, Enhance our Environment, Advocate for Social Justice, and Uplift our Local Community. In addition to these initiatives, some of our local programs/events sponsored by the chapter include Aleria’s Promise, Dreammaker II Mentoring Program and Lynda Dunlap Cosey Essay Scholarship Award. The chapter’s signature program, Debutantes, enriches the lives of exceptional high school senior young women by offering positive experiences and leadership opportunities. This program culminates in a grand event where we honor their achievements and awards scholarships and recognition. Through the Nu Gamma Omega Educational & Charitable Foundation, Incorporated®, we extend our legacy of philanthropy and scholarship to make a meaningful impact.

We invite you to explore our website for more details on events and scholarship opportunities, ways to contribute, and opportunities for collaboration within the community.  

Thank you for visiting, and for your continued support of our community service events and programs.
