Las Madrinas was a women’s club closely associated with Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority in Los Angeles, active by at least 1937 and especially visible in the early 1950s.  The members were usually members of the sorority and their mothers. Initially appearing in a 1937 Far Western Regional Conference report in Ivy Leaf, Las Madrinas functioned as a ceremonial and cultural group within the sorority’s Far Western Region. By 1953–1954, Los Angeles Tribune society columns regularly described the Las Madrinas Club of Alpha Kappa Alpha as a structured auxiliary with elected officers, extensive membership, and chapter chairmen drawn from AKA leadership. Meeting most often in members’ homes, the club hosted luncheons, Christmas parties, officer installations, memorial services, and birthday observances that blended music, poetry, and themed programs with charitable initiatives such as pledging support for Children’s Hospital welfare work. Through these activities, Las Madrinas provided a refined social space for Black women to cultivate leadership, honor motherhood and community service, and extend Alpha Kappa Alpha’s civic and cultural presence in mid‑twentieth‑century Los Angeles.
