Alpha Kappa Kappa

Alpha Kappa Kappa (ΑΚΚ) is a medical school fraternity that was founded on September 29, 1888, at Dartmouth Medical School.

AKK operated as a national organization which had over 60 chapters at various medical schools throughout the United States for approximately 80 years, with national headquarters in Ellettsville, Indiana and possibly in Illinois. As a professor, Charles H. Mayo became a member of the Minnesota chapter.^[1]

The fraternity disbanded nationally in the 1960s, with several chapters continuing as independent organizations.^[2]
