Who we are

We are a group of women united by our shared experiences as alumnae of the Virginia Military Institute and members of the VMI community, and our shared values and mission:

Alpha Kappa Order seeks to serve as a moral compass for women of character through a lifetime of upholding the values of honor, discipline, morality, and selfless service.

We are guided by honor, lead lives instilled with discipline, endeavor to be unwavering and uncompromising in our moral values, and resolve to lead through selfless service within our communities, Nation, and the world.

Established in May 2024 by seven members of the VMI graduating Class of 2024, we intend to serve as a resource for our members and our communities, with the purpose of:

Networking + Community Engagement

Service + Philanthropy

Mentorship + Professional Development
