January 29, 1913: A Day of Thanksgiving for Members of AKA Sorority, INC
Sorors,
More than Ninety-three years ago, Soror Nellie Quander was on the case! As you know, in the fall of 1912, Soror Nellie learned of changes to take place with her beloved Alpha Kappa Alpha. At this time, she gathered, Soror Norma E. Boyd, Soror Julia E. Brooks, Soror Ethel Jones Mowbray, Soror Nellie K. Pratt and Soror Minne B. Smith to plan for legal incorporation.
After weeks of planning and preparation, on January 29, 1913, Alpha Kappa Alpha was incorporated as a perpetual body. Alpha Kappa Alpha was the first sorority organized for African American Women in the United States, but was also the first to become incorporated!
To our INCORPORATORS, we thank you AND we celebrate you! For if Soror Nellie had not have been on the case, sorors, where would we as members of ALPHA KAPPA ALPHA be today?

Good morning, Sorors.
I'm very thankful to Soror Nellie Quander and the Soror-incorporators for realizing that we had a treasure that needed to be protected. Their groundwork was key in helping build our wonderful Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority Inc. we have today.
Skee-wee my Sorors.

Incorporators
Happy Incorporation Day!!!! Thank God for Nellie Quander being at the right place at the right time to hear of the horrible things that were trying to take place. If it weren't for her, who knows where AKA would be today.

"On January 29, 1913, under the provisions of Subchapter three of Chapter XVII of the Code of the Laws of the District of Columbia, Alpha Kappa Alpha was incorporated as a perpetual body with "power to organize, institute, and charter subordinate chapters whose particular purposes and objective would be educational," and "would promote the intellectual standard and mutual uplift of its members."
Parker, Marjorie H. "Past is Prologue: 1908-1999." (1999).
Thanks to Soror Nellie Quander, Soror Minnie B. Smith, Soror Nellie Pratt Russell, Soror Julia Evangeline Brooks, Soror Ethel Jones Mowbray, and Soror Norma Elizabeth Boyd for ensuring the longevity of ALPHA KAPPA ALPHA.

Incorporation Celebration, Indeed!!
Sorors, I echo ALL of your sentiments!!! I am SO very grateful to Soror Nellie Quander, for without her, I would not have had the opportunity to share a sisterhood with so many beautiful, intelligent, caring, and talented women.
Skee-Wee, My Sorors, Skeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee-Weeeeeee!!!!
