Kappa Chapter 

If one does a Google search for the "first black sorority" at Butler college/university" you may not get the correct answer. 

The correct answer is of course: The Kappa Chapter, of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority Incorporated. This chapter which began on the campus of Butler university was charted on February 14th, 1920 as a sorority and is still active and growing over a century later. 

The sorority quickly became a hub of service and social activity and within one year it was so impressive they shined brightly as hostesses for the Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority Incorporated 1921 Boule.
