On May 26, 1984, after operating a year as an interest group, the Mystical Pearls became an official chapter of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Incorporated.  Omicron Eta Omega was chartered by our 20th Central Regional Director, Soror Mabel Evans Cason.

Behind the leadership of Soror Angela Haywood Gaskin and fifteen charter members, Omicron Eta Omega instituted programs of service that were designed to better the communities surrounding the city of St. Louis.  These programs developed a model that has sustained the chapter’s existence for over twenty years.  Voter Registration Drives, Scholarship Fundraisers, Tax Preparation Assistance Programs, Job Skills Training and Resume Writing are among the many programs implemented.  Funding a Water Purification Plant in the African country of Rwanda was part of our International initiative. The chapter has been represented at every Boule, Leadership Conference, Central Regional Conference, and Area Retreat since 1984 … California, the Bahamas, Washington D.C., Jamaica, Las Vegas, Alaska … Omicron Eta Omega Chapter was present.  Our chapter was also in attendance at the First International Regional Conference held in Freeport, Bahamas.  Representation at these conferences has allowed our chapter to parallel National program targets as they are developed.
