In the fall of 1982, Soror Ora Lawson, member of Lambda Kappa Omega Chapter of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Inc., and other graduate members of the Sorority began searching for ways to support the young women of color on the campus of George Mason University. The women of Lambda Kappa Omega presented numerous fulfilling resources provided by the Sorority as a source of support on campus. In October of 1982, the chapter held an interest meeting that would lead to the eventual inception of the first Black Greek-lettered undergraduate organization on the Fairfax Campus of George Mason University. On March 11, 1983, Soror Kimberly Pinkston became the first initiate of the Omicron Iota Chapter of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Incorporated. On December 5th, 1987, the Omicron Iota Chapter of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Incorporated was officially chartered.

Throughout the years, Omicron Iota has been dedicated to the ideals of sisterhood, scholarship, and service.  Omicron Iota has proven to be one of the most active organizations on campus, by promoting education and awareness about issues pertaining to girls and women, by supporting academic excellence with both members and the George Mason community, and by displaying leadership aptitudes through holding various offices on student organization boards .  The Ladies of Omicron Iota would like to congratulate, honor, and thank Soror Ora Lawson, the Women of Lambda Kappa Omega Chapter, as well as our Illustrious Charter Members, for opening the Pink and Green door of opportunity, which has allowed us to server our community the Alpha Kappa Alpha way!
