A House resolution is the House speaking for itself: stating a position, honouring someone, or setting its own rules. Adopting it is the whole process. Once the House agrees to it, it is officially the House's word; it is not a law, so the Senate and the President have no part in it.

What this bill would do

This resolution honors Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Inc. on reaching its 117-year milestone of community service. The organization was founded on January 15, 1908, at Howard University by nine women. It operates under five core tenets, including the goal to be of "Service to All Mankind." The sorority currently includes over 1,075 chapters internationally and more than 120,000 active members. The resolution also notes the organization's 2022-2026 service theme, "Soaring to Greater Heights of Service & Sisterhood." Finally, it acknowledges Vice President Kamala Harris as a proud member of the sorority.
