The Beta Eta Chapter records series features materials documenting the history and activities of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority at the University of Michigan. The series includes photographs, event information, news articles, yearbook pages from The Michiganensian, and a small number of administrative documents.

The series also contains historical documents including a copy of the original petition to the University of Michigan to establish an Alpha Kappa Alpha chapter on campus and information about the Beta Eta chapter member lineages. There is also a selection of historical yearbook pages and news articles indicating there were women associated with other chapters of Alpha Kappa Alpha on the University of Michigan campus before the Beta Eta chapter officially formed in 1933.
