Soror McKinzie Interview
 

Ahhhhhhh so thats why he mentioned dst.....he's a little clueless though....didn't he refer to dst as our "sister chapter"? Soror McKinzie spinned it nicely though.

Great story. I would have loved to have been there!

*crash* I am so excited for your entire organization that you are reaching 100 years!!! Congratulations, a bit early.

Awwwwww......KathyKD......that is sooo sweet. Thanks! I can't wait!

Excerpts from IP BAM Communication: Jena Six
 

"Alpha Kappa Alpha is very concerned about the miscarriage of justice being carried out in Jena , Louisiana against six African American males. We agree that the events that culminated in the arrest of these young men appear to be racist-inspired. In this day and age, this is unacceptable. One of the young men -- Marcus Jones -- has already been convicted by an all-white jury of two felonies and faces a lengthy jail sentence. The others are awaiting their day in the court and the outlook for a fair trial is unlikely. This represents a gloomy future for these young men, who range in age from 15-18.
< BR>One of our platforms is The Black Male initiative. Speaking out against their arrest parallels the objectives of this thrust......

Sorors, I'm sure you've read the rest. :D ;)

I read it this morning... I was so glad to see our president's statement on this terrible issue. My love for this organization grows deeper every day.

Loved it! I just can't wait to get updates!! This is soooo horrible I hope any and every organization pushes the envelope as far as they can about this issue!!

Leadership was so great!!!- Seeing Sorors from the chapter in which I was initiated and spending time with my Soror who was initiated with me and her daughter who just became a Soror was beautiful!!! I am truly proud of our organization-we continue to lead by example!!!

Sorors,
We're getting closer and closer and closer....

Soror Barbara will talk about the upcoming Centennial and reflect on AKA's 100 years of progress.

I tried to listen to it last Sunday unfortunately I realized it was on satellite and not online!:(

Sorors, what are you planning to do on Founders Day?

I am still pouting about the fact that I can't be in DC on Founder's Day... :( There's no way I can get the day off, especially when I'm going to have to take off for the Regional Conference in March...

But I will attend my cluster's founder's day, which will be on the 26!

I so so glad that I finally got my pearls! :D
