Alpha Kappa Kappa was established at Dartmouth Medical School on September 29, 1888. It was created for "social intercourse, mental development, scholarship and mutual assistance." The fraternity incorporated in New Hampshire by a special act of the legislature on July 25, 1889.
The fraternity expanded to be national and international, with chapters across the United States and in Canada. Its national headquarters was in Ellettsville, Indiana. It was a member of the Professional Interfraternity Conference a predecessor to the Professional Fraternity Association.
The fraternity disbanded nationally in the 1960s, with three chapters continuing as independent organizations. Alpha Theta chapter at the University of Texas Medical Branch stayed active until the mid-2000s.The Epsilon chapter at Jefferson Medical College is still active.
