On October 29, 2023, the plea for the representation of sisterhood, scholarship, and service found its answer in the form of 14 UPbeat and eXquisite women who embodied grace, elegance, and sophistication. The Upsilon Xi Chapter of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority Incorporated® made a splendid presence on the campus of Georgia Gwinnett College. This chapter holds the distinction of being the very first undergraduate chapter chartered under the T.U.N.E. administration, led by the Honorable Tiffany Moore Russell, Esq., the South Atlantic Regional Director. The overseeing chapter, Alpha Alpha Pi Omega, is located in South Gwinnett, Georgia.
