On March 31, 1985, the Omicron Tau Omega Chapter of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Incorporated was chartered in Spring, Texas. Omicron Tau Omega became the 98th chapter in the South Central Region under the leadership of then International President Faye Beverly Bryant. The twenty-eight charter members immediately embraced the programs of Alpha Kappa Alpha by serving youth, the elderly, those in poverty, and promoting the local and national programs of our organization.

Our first president, Carolyn W. Gaines propelled the infant chapter to full operational status and responsibility.
