Eta Nu Omega Chapter of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Inc. was chartered on October 28, 1961. The chartering ceremony was held at the Golden Embers Restaurant, Rialto, California. The presiding officer of the chartering ceremony was Far Western Regional Director, Soror Lucille Bryant. The International President was Marjorie Parker and the International Secretary was Laura K.

The organizing members of Eta Nu Omega Chapter were Sylvia Cichocki, Salena Gregory and Thelma Lewis. They began organizational efforts in 1960 after it was determined that a significant number of Alpha Kappa Alpha women were residing in the Riverside-San Bernardino area.
