Help Honor Nearly 100 Years of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Incorporated®️ in Colorado

Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Incorporated®️ has been serving communities across Colorado for nearly a century. As we approach this historic milestone, Alpha Kappa Alpha members from across the state are working together to establish a commemorative Colorado license plate that celebrates our legacy of service, leadership, scholarship, and sisterhood. To make that vision a reality, we need the support of Colorado residents.

State requirements call for 3,500 signatures from licensed and registered Colorado residents before a new specialty license plate can be considered for approval.

Who We Are and Our Colorado Story

Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Incorporated®️ was founded on January 15, 1908, at Howard University, becoming the first Greek-letter organization established by and for African American college-educated women.

Colorado's AKA story began in 1928 with the chartering of Alpha Kappa Chapter. What started with one chapter has grown into a statewide network of six chapters whose members have spent decades investing in communities through scholarships, mentoring programs, health initiatives, voter engagement efforts, economic empowerment activities, and countless hours of volunteer service. Alpha Kappa Alpha women have helped open doors, created opportunities, and strengthened communities across Colorado. This specialty license plate is an opportunity to recognize that history and ensure it is remembered for generations to come.

How You Can Help

We're asking Colorado residents age 18 or older with a Colorado address to sign our petition in support of the commemorative license plate. Out-of-state addresses and P.O. Boxes are not acceptable.

You are NOT obligated to purchase a license plate.

We are NOT requesting donations.

One signature, when combined collectively with many others, helps tell a much bigger story. One of the history of service, leadership, and community impact that has spanned generations. We encourage you to share this effort with your family, friends, colleagues, neighbors, and fellow Colorado residents. Every signature helps us preserve and celebrate an important chapter of Colorado history.

Why This Effort Matters

This isn't simply about a license plate. It's about honoring the women of AKA who helped build a legacy of service in Colorado. It's about recognizing the contributions of Black women whose leadership has impacted education, neighborhoods, businesses, nonprofits, and communities throughout our state. And it's about preserving an important piece of Colorado history that deserves celebration. The plate will serve as a visible reminder of the strength of sisterhood and what can happen when women come together with a shared commitment to serve and uplift others.

What's Next

Once the required signatures are collected and approved, the commemorative Alpha Kappa Alpha license plate can move through the state's approval process and become available through Colorado DMV offices, just like other specialty license plates. Our goal is to have this plate available as we celebrate 100 years of Alpha Kappa Alpha's presence in Colorado.
