For many
years, the Alpha Kappa Alpha members in Warner Robins had often spoken of starting their own local chapter. Several
of them were members of Gamma Pi Omega Chapter in Ft. Valley, GA and had been very active with this chapter for a number of
years. After much networking in May and June of 1988, the first Interest Group pre-planning meeting was held. During
the next meeting held on August 1, 1988, officers were elected, a name for the Interest Group, “World Changers
on the Move” was selected and standing committees were adopted. At the close of this initial meeting,
all of the ladies vowed to contact other members in the area while continuing to work with Mrs. Frederica S.
Wilson, the 11th South-Atlantic Regional Director and Mrs. Jasmine Ellis, Cluster V Coordinator and President of
Gamma Pi Omega Chapter. “World Changers on the Move” was extremely active in providing service projects
for the community.
In 1989, the membership grew from nineteen members to twenty-four members and then to
thirty-four members for chartering. After meeting with Mrs. Wilson in October, she enthusiastically agreed
to grant the group a charter within the next few months. On January 20, 1990 in the McIntyre Room
at the Warner Robins Recreation Center, “World Changers on the Move” was chartered as Sigma Epsilon Omega Chapter.
Through the years under the leadership
of former presidents: Shirlyn Johnson-Granville, Kathy B. Hill, Joe Ann Denning, Carolyn Jackson, Karen Doctor-Gadsden, Renee
Brown Reese, LaTanga Allen-Felder, Adrienne Ray, Robertiena Fletcher, Tammy Long-Dunn and now Karen Doctor-Thomas. Sigma Epsilon Omega has continued the Alpha Kappa
Alpha tradition of service to all mankind/the Middle Georgia community through its many programs and activities.
