Mu Upsilon Omega proudly advances a legacy of leadership, scholarship, and meaningful community impact throughout Gainesville and Alachua County.
Chartered on August 25, 1979, Mu Upsilon Omega is Gainesville’s only graduate chapter of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Incorporated®. For more than four decades, our members have served with intention—improving opportunities for women, girls, and families across our community.
On August 25, 1979, the Magnificent Mu Upsilon Omega Chapter of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Incorporated® was chartered in Gainesville, Florida. The chapter has grown to more than 75 members while deepening its roots in service to all mankind.
Over the years, Mu Upsilon Omega has become known throughout the community for signature initiatives including Pink Goes Red for Heart Health, Seasonal Wraps, and the long-running Pink Dress Luncheon for breast cancer education.
Twenty-one visionary women established Mu Upsilon Omega, with Thelma J. Mosley serving as the chapter’s first president.
Our chapter translates Alpha Kappa Alpha’s international vision into thoughtful local action through education, family support, wellness, economic opportunity, environmental care, arts advocacy, and global service.

As President of the Mu Upsilon Omega Chapter, I am proud to serve alongside an extraordinary group of sisters who are committed to making a meaningful difference in the lives of others. Our theme, “Champions Inspire,” reflects who we are and how we strive to serve. Champions lead with purpose, rise to meet challenges, encourage others to reach their highest potential, and create pathways for lasting impact.
We believe inspiration becomes most powerful when it is transformed into action. Through service, collaboration, leadership, and genuine engagement, we remain dedicated to strengthening our community and uplifting the individuals and families we are privileged to serve.
Champions Inspire reminds us that each of us has the ability to influence positive change. Whether through a word of encouragement, an act of service, a new partnership, or a shared vision for the future, we can inspire others to dream bigger, reach higher, and move forward with confidence.
As you explore our website, I invite you to learn more about our programs, initiatives, and commitment to community service. We value the relationships we have established throughout our community and look forward to creating even more opportunities to connect, collaborate, and serve.
Thank you for visiting and for your continued support. Together, may we continue to lead with purpose, serve with excellence, and inspire one another to become champions for positive change.
Because Champions Lead. Champions Serve. Champions Uplift. Champions Inspire.
Dear friends,
It is a joy to serve Mu Upsilon Omega and to work alongside sisters who give so generously of their time and talents. As Vice President, I help guide the execution of our chapter programs, turning thoughtful plans into opportunities to serve our neighbors in Gainesville and Alachua County.

Thank you for supporting our chapter. I look forward to all we will accomplish together, with kindness in our hearts and purpose in our steps.
