HR 97 Texas House · 89th Legislature (2025)

Recognizing January 29, 2025, as Alpha Kappa Alpha Day at the State Capitol.

This resolution (HR 97) is a ceremonial recognition by the Texas House of Representatives, not a substantive bill. It formally designates January 29, 2025, as "Alpha Kappa Alpha Day" at the Texas State Capitol to welcome the sorority's visiting delegation. The resolution acknowledges Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Inc. - the nation's first Greek sorority for African American women, founded in 1908 - and its century-long work in civil rights, education, and community service. It does not create new laws or affect policy; it simply extends a formal welcome for their Capitol visit.
