Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Inc. was founded on January 15, 1908 on the campus of Howard University. Since then, the sorority has flourished into a globally-impactful organization of over 290,000 university-educated members, constituting 997 chapters in 42 states, the District of Columbia, the US Virgin Islands, The Bahamas, Germany, Liberia, South Korea, Japan, Canada, South Africa and the Middle East.
In 2003, 4th International Regional Director, Nadine C. Bonds, led the initiative that brought five Canadian members into the sorority from Toronto, Ontario. From that group of five, Renée N. Rawlins and Kimberley Tull, worked to bring together other members to charter the sorority's first Canadian chapter. In March 2007, Briddie Alstrom, Shani Leatham and Monique Taylor Yee-Shui joined Renée N. Rawlins and Kimberley Tull, with 29 additional members to charter the first province-wide chapter of Alpha Kappa Alpha.
In 2017, Tashina Harrow and Kayla Marie Williams connected with the other Canadian members to grow Toronto's awareness of the sorority.
On June 11, 2017, International Regional Director, Gizette L. Canegata Thomas, introduced eight members from the Greater Toronto Area, Patience Adamu, Ndija Anderson-Yantha, Janine Clarke, Eden Hagos, Kadene Massop, Dria Mayers, Monique Redhead, Samara Rigsby-Fleming, to the sorority who joined their strengths and talents with the aforementioned members to create the League of Pearlfection Interest Group.
A year later, on June 9, 2018, Alpha Alpha Delta Omega Chapter was chartered in Toronto. This chartering marked the second chapter of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Inc. in Canada.
The Alpha Alpha Delta Omega Chapter continues the Alpha Kappa Alpha legacy of sisterhood and service in Toronto.
