Annual Jewels & Jeans Gala: Celebrate with Us
The Zeta Theta Omega Chapter of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Inc. welcomes the greater Akron community to an evening shaped by elegance, fellowship, and purpose. The Annual Jewels & Jeans Gala brings members, families, friends, and supporters together to celebrate the chapter’s enduring commitment to service.
Jewels reflect the values, milestones, and legacy carried across generations of sisterhood. Jeans add a relaxed, welcoming spirit that makes the event feel accessible and inviting. Together, the theme creates a memorable setting for honoring progress while looking ahead to the work still to come.
This signature celebration is more than a social gathering. It is an opportunity to recognize community impact, strengthen relationships, and support initiatives focused on education, economic empowerment, social justice, family well-being, and meaningful service throughout Akron.
