Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Incorporated® has expanded its global footprint with the chartering of a new chapter in London, United Kingdom. On Friday, May 30, 2025, the sorority officially established Alpha Delta Alpha Omega Chapter, marking the organization’s first chapter in the UK. The new chapter includes 25 professional women with backgrounds in real estate, finance, medicine, business, and other fields. Grounded in a commitment to community service, the group has spent the past year working alongside more than a dozen local organizations. Their initiatives have included distributing over 350 Childhood Hunger Power Packs (AKA CHIPP™ weekend meals), assembling more than 200 Blessing Bags, facilitating an eight-week entrepreneurship training program for women, logging over 200 volunteer hours, and investing more than £3,000 in Black-owned businesses. The chapter’s first official service projects will continue this focus, with members—joined by volunteers and visiting sorority members—organizing activities such as collecting and distributing children’s books by Black authors and gathering professional attire for women re-entering the workforce. “These women are already making an enormous difference in and around London,” said Carrie J. Clark, International Regional Director for Alpha Kappa Alpha. “They are an amazing group of servant leaders who I am confident will expand Alpha Kappa Alpha’s legacy of service in the Greater London area for years to come.” With the addition of its London chapter, Alpha Kappa Alpha continues to build on its history of service and civic engagement on an international scale. 👉🏾 👉🏾 Click on the link in our bio(@watchtheyard) to read the full article. ##London##BlackBritish##BlackAmerican##AlphaKappaAlpha##WatchTheYard #NPHC

At Hampton University, crossing Ogden Circle isn’t just a stroll across the grass—it’s a rite of passage. For years, students have upheld the tradition of avoiding the circle in front of Robert C. Ogden Auditorium, all because of a legendary warning known as the Ogden Hall curse. According to campus lore, any student who dares step on the grass before earning their degree risks not graduating on time—or not graduating at all. Because of this, most Hamptonians make it a point to walk around the circle for their entire college career, treating it with a mix of caution and respect. That’s what makes the moment they finally cross it—after completing all graduation requirements—so meaningful. It’s a celebration, a release, and a victory lap all in one. Congratulations to the Hampton University Class of 2025! @nhaainc @_hamptonu #HamptonUniversity #WatchTheYard #HBCU
