In November 1997, several members of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Inc.® met to discuss the potential of chartering of a new graduate AKA chapter in the Chicagoland area. These women wanted to use their time and talents to better serve the community and the Sorority. On November 16, 1997, this group of women named themselves “The Ultimate Women of Pink and Green.” Under the leadership of Bakahia Madison, the group’s membership increased to nineteen members. Over the next year, the interest group continued to meet and develop programs for the community in health and education.

By mid-1998, the interest group began taking steps to initiate the chartering process; their tremendous efforts proved fruitful. The Ultimate Women of Pink and Green Interest Group was chartered as Phi Epsilon Omega Chapter on January 23, 1999, in Harvey, Illinois. The 25th Central Regional Director,  Nadine C. Bonds, conducted the ceremony. The 25th International President, Norma S. White attended the ceremony as well. 

The vision of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Inc.®, Phi Epsilon Omega Chapter is to foster the unbreakable bonds of sisterhood from within and to service the Dixmoor/Harvey community through impactful programs, mentoring, and volunteering.

The members of Phi Epsilon Omega chapter have “Blazed New Trails,” promoted the “SPIRIT of Alpha Kappa Alpha,” pursued "Economics, Sisterhood, and Partnerships" in their efforts to provide numerous programs to the community, provided "Global Leadership Through Timeless Service," “Launching New Dimensions of Service,” “Exemplifying Excellence Through Sustainable Service" and now we are “Soaring to Greater Heights of Service and Sisterhood.” In 2024, Phi Epsilon Omega Chapter celebrated its silver 25th anniversary of supreme service and sisterhood in Harvey, Illinois.
