HELLO!! I have missed blogging so much, what a GREAT way to return!!! Today is a very special day for me and many other woman across the nation. It is the 103rd anniversary of the founding for ALPHA KAPPA ALPHA SORORITY, INC. (AKA). Since AKA's inception on January 15, 1908, the sorority has been serving all mankind in the community. Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority was founded at Howard University in Washington D.C. on January 15, 1908 by a visionary named Ethel Hedgeman Lyle. Her vision has changed the lives of many woman who are apart of this illustrious organization.
I became apart of AKA as an undergrad at Western Michigan University (Delta Chi Chapter) in February of 2005. Since this date, I have had the pleasure of building bonds with some great woman and mentors. It has not always been a "cake walk" but I couldn't see myself apart of anything else. It has taught me so much about myself as a woman and I am humbled to be apart of this organization. Many people look at a Sorority as a "cult" or "paying" for friends but this is a lifelong assignment. We hold each other accountable, lift one another up when we are down, assist with each other's needs, and provide service to a communities. Their is so much love and support that comes from AKA and our members.
I wanted to take this time to express my humility of my sorority and how much it has impacted my life. I've met wonderful people, I'm always being educated on programs and initiates, and have the opportunity to give back to my community on a large scale.
Thank you Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Inc for upholding the legacy of cultivating and encouraging high standards, and welcoming me into your life.
I HUGE shoutout to my chapter DELTA CHI at Western Michigan. Without you, I wouldn't be an AKA.
Yours Truly,
BROWN SKIN. BIG DREAMS.
