Alpha Pi Chi National Sorority, Inc. is an African American sorority and that has a purpose to promote ethical concepts in human relations, to study and understand current issues on all levels; to teach civic responsibilities and to develop members socially, culturally, and intellectually.

In 1962, a group of women previously associated with Alpha Gamma Chi Sorority, met to form a democratic and lasting sisterhood. The Midwest and the Southeast Region’s Presidents of the predecessor sorority, Hazel Carr and E. Gertrude Thompson provided leadership. They called a meeting in Chicago, Illinois with Julia M. Washington, Helen B. Harris, Lula Brown, Cedella Bradford, Marion Green, Carrie Miller and Ruth Lewis Henderson. After much discussion and planning, it was decided to organize a new sorority.

Alpha Pi Chi National Sorority, Inc. was incorporated in the state of Illinois on January 7, 1963.

Since that time Alpha Pi Chi National Sorority, Incorporated has become a national organization consisting of forty-six chapters divided into three regions throughout the country, in the Northeast, Southeast, and Midwest.

For the past fifty-six years, the organization's focus has been education, scholarship and community service.
