Which sorority was founded on January 15th, 1908?

• A. Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority Inc.
• B. Delta Sigma Theta Sorority Inc.
• C. Zeta Phi Beta Sorority Inc.
• D. Phi Beta Sigma Sorority Inc.

Answer: (A)

This question tests your knowledge of when major sororities were founded. January 15, 1908 is the founding date of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Inc., established at Howard University by Ethel Hedgman Lyle and eight other women. This makes it the oldest sorority founded by African American women, which is why it fits the date exactly. The other organizations have different founding dates: Delta Sigma Theta started in 1913, Zeta Phi Beta in 1920, and Phi Beta Sigma is a fraternity founded in 1914, not a sorority.
