Alpha Kappa Psi (sorority)

Alpha Kappa Psi (ΑΚΨ) sorority operated in the United States from 1900 to approximately 1920.

On March 1, 1900, Alpha Kappa Psi was founded as the first Greek letter sorority on the campus of Saint Mary's School in Raleigh, North Carolina.

Theodore DuBose Bratton, eventual bishop of Mississippi, assisted his students with the creation of the sorority.

Chapters were chartered at schools in Florida, Georgia, South Carolina, Washington DC, and Pennsylvania.

[2] The Alpha chapter disbanded in 1911, when rector Dr. George W. Lay abolished all sororities at Saint Mary's.

[4] Although the date of national dissolution is unknown, Alpha Kappa Psi dispersed sometime after 1920.

[2] The other describes it as "a triangle divided into three panels, one displaying a scroll carrying a skull and bones, one a key and the third a torch".
