Too intimidated to post in a message board? Then rush should be a cakewalk!

Harvard
U of Penn
Columbia
Dartmouth
Cornell
Brown
Princeton
Yale
lol.. Yes. Alpha Kappa Alpha is connected to these universities.

You need to stick with me, this is what my doctoral disseration is on.

The founder of AKA was Madam CJ Walker, who had 8 daughters. Each daughter attended a different Ivy League college (or in some cases, their female counter part, like Radcliffe or Barnard). Well, Walker's daughters joined forces with their mom and established the first sorority for black women.

Incidentally, each daughter married an Alpha founder, except for the Yale daughter, who got stuck with a Sigma.

www.google.com

Then you enter a search term such as, oh, I don't know, AKA?

I heard the Alphas each get a pyramid in their name after initiation. No?

Which Sigma? And what is wrong with them?

Wasn't it Bill Cosby's grandfather?

Sigmas and Alphas have a good-natured rivalry. It has to do with sharing the pyramids, I think.

Okay. go to ask.com and use the SearchLive! option.

Kind of an integrated search/chat thingy.

i can understand why you'd want to, but really with some of these questions, if you look around you are NOT going to get the answers you are looking for. for example, yes, it's probably a good idea to talk to greeks about their experience rather than relying on some of the weird stuff that comes up in a google search.

but a quick search of the term "ivy league" should explain to you why they're called the ivy league, just as a quick visit to the Alpha Kappa Alpha website would prove extremely enlightening, I'm sure, as to any connection with harvard, yale, princeton, etc.

trust me, you'll be doing yourself a favor.

2) Now, do you "adopt" the elephants and visit them at the zoo? Or do you get to actually keep them?

Your Carnations must be proud!

We only pay $1 per year to board them at the zoo, but yes they are ours to keep forever and ever. Amen. Our initiation ceremony takes place at the zoo and if your chapter does at least 40,000 hours of services each year? Your $1 is waived and the chapter gets a free trip to Africa.

And our jewel? The tusk of an elephant on barbed wire to display our real STRENGTH.

Do Delta Beaux get the same privileges? If so, where do I sign up?

This dialogue does not sound too realistic. I don't know much about greek orgs, but I'm almost positive they are connected to schools, not the zoo! I don't even think adopting elephants is legal.

What is Delta Beaux, Mr. I? Is that a greek and french organization hybrid? I have question. I didn't know there were such things as French letter societies. Tell me more. Where can I find info?
