My senior year they wanted me to participate in the Cottilion Ball. We did community service projects and went to local plays. She approached me about joining the mentor group. “When I was in high school my English teacher was an AKA. I knew was for me because I aim to always be of service, AKA is another way of keeping me humble & consistent” – thesweetest_one Everywhere I looked, the most involved, poised, and successful women were Alpha women. I saw women that held themselves to a high standard, gave back to the community in a variety of ways, and had fun doing it! It’s a lifestyle. AKA immediately stuck out to me because I LOVED the programming. Once I started college, I started growing in new ways?I started to understand myself more, the type of woman that I aimed to be, and the type of impact that I wanted to make on the world. “I grew up in a predominantly white, country area so I wasn’t introduced to any black Greek orgs until I got to college.

Ironically, throughout my life, the women who had a major impact on me were AKAs. Not stuck up, but in a kind and confident manner. She showed me what it meant to be committed, persistent and hold my head high. The Soror that sponsored me accepted nothing less than excellence.
“I came in contact with Alpha Kappa Alpha in the 7th grade by participating in a scholarship pageant hosted by the Sorority.
It was very insightful to see that many of the women were drawn to the organization because the service its members do and the sisterhood, legacy, poise and class members exude. The outpouring of passionate responses from the members who were eager to tell their stories was inspiring. We followed it by asking the members current members how becoming an AKA has changed their lives.
