Slowe's legacy is deeply woven into the fabric of African American history. As one of the nine original founders of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority Incorporated at Howard University in 1908, she helped lay the foundation for an organization that would empower generations of Black women. Slowe became the first African American to win a major athletic title when she won the American Tennis Association championship in 1917, and she served as the first Dean of Women at Howard University (the first African American to serve in such a position at any university in the US), dedicating her career to supporting young Black women in higher education.
