Soror Nola Hilton came to Stanford University as a graduate student from Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), where she was a member of Lambda Upsilon Chapter. She arrived with hopes of finding a sisterhood like the one she cherished at MIT. Unfortunately, at this time, there was no undergraduate chapter of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Incorporated on Stanford's campus; so she set out to get one started. Her first step was the creation of "Women of Nia" in 1981, the first AKA interest group on campus. Pledges met multiple times over the next few months, quickly cultivating the bonds of sisterhood & fulfilling the mission of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Incorporated. It was their goal to provide service to the community and to aid in the betterment of their surroundings, and all the while hoping that their service would someday manifest itself through the activities of the chapter. Then on June 25, 1981, their dreams became a reality and "Women of Nia" became Women of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Incorporated and the first members of Xi Beta Chapter, Stanford University .

Throughout the years, members of Xi Beta continue to hold themselves to high standards, and continue to fulfill the legacy set before them by their predecessors. Not only have their values stood the test of times, but many programs have as well such their annual Softball Classic, AKAraoke, and Comdey Show. The members of Xi Beta pass down traditions sisterhood, service and scholarship, and remain a unique presence in the Far Western Region. "The POWER of Alpha Kappa Alpha increases steadily by continuing in one direction."
