The Proelefsi Chapter of Alpha Omega Eta African Sorority, Incorporated was founded in January, 2008 in Gainesville, Florida by three strong-willed women, motivated to promote Pan-Africanism in their community. Proelefsi is a Greek word, which means "Origin". The ladies deemed this name fit for the chapter name as it was in Gainesville that Alpha Omega Eta African Sorority Incorporated was founded. These ladies are:
Lioness Amanda Igho-Clarke, Lioness Eyram Adadevoh and Lioness Ruth Asana.
They were later joined by the Pacesetters, the founding line of Alpha Omega Eta African Sorority, Inc. on April 26,2008. These ladies that make up the Pacesetters are; Lioness Adetutu Dada, Lioness Olubusayo Fawole, and Lioness Elorm Dzrekey.
Everlasting Love is the motivation, and foundation upon which we base all our actions and endeavors. It is the thread that ties us, as sisters, together in bond. We believe that of all gifts given to mankind, Love is the greatest and surest. To learn to love, is to learn to be kind, compassionate, giving, patient, faithful, honest, selfless, and true; to lead, and to have integrity. Love is the light with which we lead and serve.
Our Excellence can not be ignored, denied or criticized; it is always recognizable and earns its respect. We lead by living lives of excellence in everything we do. It is our deterrence to racism, sexism and any other discrimination or injustice. Haphazardness, laziness, corruption and dishonesty are not characterizing qualities of any distinguished member of Alpha Omega Eta African Sorority, Inc. We, the Wanawake of Alpha Omega Eta African Sorority, Inc., will always be excellent sisters, excellent scholars, excellent leaders and excellent servants for all mankind.
"For God, for mankind, for such a time as this; To her whom much is given, much is required"
