Kappa Upsilon History

The Kappa Upsilon Chapter of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Incorporated was chartered on the grounds of Valdosta State University by fourteen educated, classy and sophisticated women on May 23, 1976.

Beverly Alexander, Linda Altson, Jermaine Anderson, Shernia Yates Brown, Pat Cam, Patricia Dennis, Cornelia Perry Dolphus, Constance Graham, Ivy Warren Harbert, Mildred Knight, Fluffy Cynthia Morgan, Carolyn Mitchell, Lillie Rayford, and Rose Horne Thompson were to be recognized as the first line "The Fourteen Doves." These women established life on the campus of Valdosta State University by carrying out the national purposes and targets of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Incorporated.

Since then, over 200 women have joined the ranks of the Kappa Upsilon Chapter. All of these women are of high ethical standards and have proven themselves by their dedication and undying love for Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Inc.

We, the members of the Kappa Upsilon Chapter at Valdosta State University, willingly dedicate our time and service to uphold the name and legacy of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Incorporated, and continue to make her SUPREME IN SERVICE TO ALL MANKIND.
