Since the beginning in 1943, the mission of the Gamma Sigma
Omega Chapter of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority has been to cultivate
scholastic and ethical standards, to promote unity and friendship
among college women, and to be of service to all mankind. Timeless
Service in Gamma Sigma Omega Chapter chronicles the history of the
women who sojourned in the life of one chapter of the first Black
female Greek letter organization and the events that impacted their
journey in Savannah, Georgia, from 1943 to 2012.
Emma Jean Hawkins Conyers, former president of the GSO Chapter,
begins with the story of Adeline Graham, a white philanthropist who
bequeathed funds to the chapter for use in establishing an
orphanage for Negro children, and reveals how the chapter responded
to the challenge. As she continues the chapter's history through
the years, Conyers shares notable details on members, awards,
community projects, and events that helped to preserve a legacy
that endures to this day.
Timeless Service in Gamma Sigma Omega Chapter captures the
spirit of unity, sisterhood, and service that still drives the
sorority to fulfill the mission after commencing nearly seven
decades ago.
