Greetings from the President
On behalf of the Alpha Mu Omega Chapter of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Incorporated®, I warmly welcome you and thank you for visiting our website. I consider it a profound honor and a sacred responsibility to serve as the 42nd President of this historic and impactful chapter.
As the first graduate chapter in Indiana, Alpha Mu Omega Chapter’s legacy is deeply rooted in courage, determination, and vision. Since February 16, 1929, Alpha Mu Omega Chapter has stood as a beacon of hope, leadership, and service in Indianapolis. Twenty-eight remarkable women chartered Alpha Mu Omega Chapter during a time of significant inequity. Our charter members were determined to create opportunities where little existed. Their bold faith and unwavering commitment still guide us today.
Nearly a century later, we remain steadfast in the mission of our charter members. We are women who lead with compassion and serve with intention. We believe that excellence is not optional — it is our standard.
Through transformative programming, Alpha Mu Omega continues to uplift and empower our community to greater heights through:
- Our Debutante Cotillion and Scholarship Program, in partnership with Ivy Endowment, Incorporated. This amazing program has invested in generations of young women, most recently raising more than $560,000 in scholarships in a single year.
- Our Rosebuds program and Youth Leadership Institute (YLI) initiative which enables us to mentor over 200 minority youth annually, nurturing confidence, scholarship, and leadership from middle school through college.
- Addressing food insecurity by packing and delivering over 100,000 CHIPP (Childhood Hunger Initiative Power Pack) bags for students who rely on school-based meal programs.
- Our local and national philanthropic commitments including our recent induction into the UNCF “A Mind Is” ® Annual Giving Society, which recognizes our chapter’s long-standing support of historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) and educational equity.
Alpha Mu Omega Chapter embodies our sorority’s mission, “Service to All Mankind” in measurable, meaningful impact in our local community and beyond.
With the unwavering support of our sisterhood and community partners, we will continue to ELEVATE — in purpose, in love, and in service.
Best regards,
Ilisha Dowell, Esq.
