History

Leila May Lyon

Mildred Geraldine Harper

Wilhelmina Bowles

Georgia A. Blakemore

Clarice E. Bartlett

[Meharry President John J. Mullowney gladly approved the petition of these trailblazers to form a chapter stating, “What is needed here is more cooperation and more of a democratic spirit, a spirit which looks to the good of all rather than to the social privileges of a few”. ]

Pi Chapter initially included both undergraduate and graduate members from Fisk University and Meharry Medical College. In 1926, during the Ninth Annual Boule of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Incorporated, action was approved to separate chapters based on these membership classification. Pi Chapter continued for undergraduate students at Fisk University, as the graduate members chartered Alpha Delta Omega in 1927. Kappa Lambda Omega proudly serves as the current advising graduate chapter.
