Get that said, Soror!

If/when I'm blessed with a daughter, she will know, learn, and grow to love AKA by my actions and involvement. If she decides to go another way, I'll support her in my heart because I would rather she do what was in her heart and not something just to appease me.

But she will KNOW that my $$$ is only salmon pink and apple green :cool: .

Crashing to say that she is adorable! Too precious :D

Now you know what?? She is absolutely TOO DURN PRECIOUS!!!!!

Soror Skee, Your.butt.is. koo-koo!


Cute lil Legacy! :D
she even has on pearl earrings. :o :D

Thanks for the compliments sorors. :D

Re: Re: I was just thinking about this!
 

I know, soror; I'm not (I was semi-joking...thought that was clear...my bad). All I'm saying is that it would be disappointing, that's all. :(

And, Soror SKEEphistAKAte: Cute pic!!! :)

Oh she is precious!!! I have a 3 year old and she throw's up the "ibee" with her head held back and little nose up. The first time she did it I screamed louder and clapped and kissed her harder than when she used the potty on her own.
She steps because she was with me several times at step practice.
I don't expect her to be anything but AKA. I look forward to her being my Soror and shopping for all things pink and green. I didn't have that experience with my mom ( I'm a first generation college graduate).
A daughter is special but a Soror Daughter...now how sweet that would be.
My son likes to bark like his Dad, although it sounds more like a cute puppy.
I don't really have a preference for him, either Alpha, Kappa, or Que.

I have a step-daughter who is my heart; however, I hope my service in Alpha Kappa Alpha will be the foundation that assists her in making her decision when she's in college (her Godmother is a Delta and one of my closest prayer-partners is a Zeta).

She attended the step-show at Regional this past year and had a good time. She really enjoyed seeing Sorors (especially the undergrads) strolling which I think put the pink icing on the green cake for her...but, that comes after seeing the "WORK" our chapter does for the community so she doesn't have it twisted.

As far as her throwing up a pinky, doing our call, or anything that even resembles Alpha Kappa Alpha...she knows not to do them and she respects why it's not appropriate for her to do so until if and when she has been granted membership (she even had to explain to a young lady in ON TRACK with her why membership had its priviledges). Now she does wear a LOT of pink but that's only because she looks pretty in pink (no pun intended) and it's her favorite color.

I just hope and pray that my actions as a member of Alpha Kappa Alpha will serve as a catalyst for my daughter as she grows older. Besides, she has sooo many "aunties" who will also share in steering Lil FeeFee in the right direction. :D :D

AWWWW!! I see our little friend! Trust Sorors- my Ls's little one is a soror in the making . . . LS- I don't think you have anything to worry about. I about died when she said "I like your AKA key chain"

Now, in answer to the question - I ditto what my LS said, but I also would respect my daughter's decision if she made the mistake of wanting anything else. But TRUST I AIN'T (yes, I said ain't) paying for it. My son, however, would be a Kappa (I don't think my fiance would appreciate him being anything else).

Skeeeeeeeeeeeeeee-Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!

See that's what I'm talking 'bout. HC when we got to the MLK march on Monday my little soror-to-be was with me talking 'bout "Mommy, we need to hurry and find our other sawrahs so we can line up and march." Mind you, she slanged it out and said "sawrahs" and not "sorors".

When I was in college, a girl on my floor pledged Zeta and her mom was a Delta. When she went home on break there was some serious furniture movin' going on. She didn't tell her mom what she was doing AT ALL; she just rolled up to the house with her letters on. Now I hope that my future daughter and I would have better communication than that. I am a 2nd generation AKA and my brother is an Alpha and we both agreed that we have to keep this legacy going for our family. I think that the only thing I would stress to my kids is that Alpha Phi Alpha and Alpha Kappa Alpha may not be the only way to go, but it is the correct way to go.

I'm *DEAD* at "our" sawrahs. LOL

ttt...and my response
 

...My family is full of XYZ...at one point I thought they were the only sorority...I can remember thinking I want to grow up and be like my aunts because they dress well, they always held their heads up high they seem to know everything and everyone, always smiled, my aunts are such classy ladies (this is the 13 year old me). Well my favorite aunt took me to this "junior XYZ" club meeting. I was like am I missing something, these ladies (the members) are nothing like my aunts at all. The girls in the meeting were shall we say a little unladylike and were talking about how they were gooing to grow up and be in XYZ and I was like if y'all are in it i'm out I was so disappointed:( (that was of course a hasty decision) I revisited the meetings two more times and that was that...fast forward 3 years and I began to look up other sororities...that's when I knew AKA is the right way...and I don't feel any conflict I feel that many of the attributes I was raised to value in life like being well spoken, carrying yourself well, being an example for others to follow;), being a leader not a follower, and self confidence contributed to me wanting to be in AKA...I can't help it if my aunts in XYZs raised an AKA......

As far as my daughter (when I have one) I won't lie there is only one way and I'm confident she'll see what I saw...if the imposssible happened and she chose another way...she'd have some Explaining to do...it would be 21 questions in my house and NO I'm not paying

My sister is 18 and getting ready to go off to college. If she wanted to be something other than an AKA, I would be supportive. Everyone has to do what makes them comfortable. If she can live with her choice, then more power to her. But I can pray that she pursues interest in my sorority and she becomes a member of my sorority.

Babyperson Skee is too cute. And her pinky is STRAIGHT! Go head gurl...

I was at a NPHC picnic and there was a lil one with a my mommy is an AKA t shirt on. Honey child was doing the ivy and all of that. She was like 4 so she got a pass. Any children older than that need to be stopped.
