List of Alpha Kappa Kappa chapters

Alpha Kappa Kappa was a North American medical school fraternity.[1] It was founded in 1888 at Dartmouth Medical School in Hanover, New Hampshire.[2] The fraternity had over sixty chapters at various medical schools throughout the United States and Canada for approximately eighty years before going defunct in the 1960s.[1] Three of its former chapters continued to operate as location organizations after the fraternity's dissolution; two are still active as of 2025.[3]

Following is a list of Alpha Kappa Kappa chapters in Greek letter order.[1][4][5] In the early days, chapters chose their letters, so in a few cases, date order does not always match Greek letter alphabetization.[5][4] Active chapters are indicated in bold and inactive chapters and institutions are in italics.
