I knew that I wanted to be a part of something so much larger with other women who continue to build you up as an individual each and every day. Having no idea what she was talking about and now knowing how shallow of a comment that was I was intrigued to find out who these groups of women were. As I start to learned more i realized they were all around me. Now as you learn about one sorority you start to hear about the others. But by then my heart was full. I always thought she had so much poise and dignity.
I stuck with that until I had the chance and the rest is history! And the chapter hosted great events not just parties. The members seemed well rounded and were friendly. One of my prophytes who is now an inventor was a Senior and pre-med major like myself. She was smart, friendly, fly always helpful. The more I learned the more I felt I belonged in this Sorority. Alpha Kappa Alpha still speaks to my heart.
I always knew that I wanted to be part of a sorority that would define who I was as a person, and what embraces the true meaning of sisterhood, scholarship and service.

Why pledge anything else when the first prestigious and most gracious sorority have paved the way for many others.

AKA challenges me to become the best version of myself and serve a bigger purpose. When I got to college I saw this group of confident, graceful and self assured women who were truly passionate about service and I knew that possessed all the characteristics of the type of woman I wanted to be. I am an only child so if I was going to gain sisters they had to be women of immense substance. And that is an Alpha Kappa Alpha woman. They were present and accounted for. They were having meaningful and worthwhile programs.
I felt welcomed when I participated in their events, and that made me want to be around them more. They really stood out to me. No one in my immediate family is Greek, but I developed relationships with those ladies, and I felt like I was a part of the family.
