To All My Illustrious Sorors of Alpha Kappa Alpha,

There is no sisterhood like ours, what a blessing to be one of the few to be an Alpha Kappa Alpha woman and to be able to call you all my sorors, here's to 100 years of service to all mankind. From those nervous undergrad moments where I could only imagine what is was like to be in "the know" to the realization that we are the most beautiful women on this earth. I am blessed to be with you....

Happy Founders Day!

Alice Murray
Lavinia Norman
Sarah Meriweather Nutter

EVERY SOROR is a PEARL!!
 
Greetings my BEAUTIFUL SORORS of ALPHA KAPPA ALPHA SORORITY, INNNCORPORATED!!!

I am overwhelmed with tears and joy to have the HONOR and PRIVILEGE of celebrating not only my FIRST Founder's Day in less that two months after crossing, but to have surpassed 13 years of active pursuit and go beyond the veil of this illustrious sisterhood for our Centennial Celebration. Thousands didn't make it...I'm one of the ones that did!! I am SOO thankful for our Founders who not only had a vision, but CAPTURED a vision and established a legacy of beautiful, service-driven, poised, educated, venerated, sophisticated, often imitated, but NEVER duplicated Ladies of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority Incorporated.

Who knew 100 years ago that the vision of our guiding light, Soror Ethel Hedgeman Lyle, would evolve into an organization that impacted not only the community and nation, but the WORLD. I learn and am inspired from our Twenty Pearls DAILY. Sorors, with God we can have anything, do anything and be ALL things. We are the créme de la créme - the best of the best. We come from a legacy of pioneers and visionaries; of women who not only dare to dream but BECOME the dream. We strive AND we do.


I LOVE YOU MY BEAUTIFUL SORORS!!

Now go rock your ESP...Every Stitch of Para and raise that pinky with pride!!! This is OUR DAY!!

HAPPY CENTENNIAL FOUNDERS DAY!!

SKEEE-WEEEE, MY SORORS.....SKEEE-WEEE!!!!

Happy Centennial Founders Day sistergreeks!!!!

I've Got a Feeling!
 
Sorors,

I've got a feeling. I've got a feeling, sorors. I've got a feeling that sisterhood is being taught today, by the illustrious sorors of AKA.

Sorors, 100 years ago today, our illustrious founders came together to bring to life the vision of Soror Ethel Hedgeman. These women dedicated themselves and their talents to uplifting the black community, while paving the way for all black greek letter sororities that followed.

100 hundred years later, we stand, members of a global sisterhood of women, which continues the blaze trails in all arenas and have a powerful impact on both the African American community and the world community, made infinitely stronger by our common purpose and pledge.

I wish you a wonderful Centennial Founders' Day.



DP AKA_Monet, I am not an iv--er--interest (:D), but here is a little something that I wrote during that time, and I think that it is appropriate to the occasion. So, if my sorors will indulge me.


Alpha Kappa Alpha


I am a visionary.
Imagining and creating,
Bringing dreams of Sisterhood
Never so conceived
into reality.
So that others might follow my lead.


I am a visionary.
I see the need.
I feel the gap.
Creating, as I piece myself,
the blueprint, the road map.


Because I am a visionary,
I cannot remain what I was.
I look always to the next horizon.
Creating before, not reacting against,
to be what I might become.


Neo spirit combined with a Centennial Celebration is a dangerous thing. :D

Skee-Wee my sorors!

Hail Alpha Kappa Alpha Dear
 
My Dearest Sorors of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Incorporated -

I am filled with reverence, pride and joy today as we celebrate the legacy of our illustrious Founders. I am humbled by the light kindled 100 Years ago. Sorors, I woke up this morning (looked in the mirror and shook my pretty head) and thought back to the cherished moment when I too stood within a smaller circle and sang with great reverence "We'll Always Reverence AKA Forever and a Day".

I am blessed and honored to be a part of this great sisterhood. Enjoy today, Sorors. This is OUR DAY.

HAPPY FOUNDER'S DAY LADIES!!!!!!!!! :D :cool:

Ideal08 01-15-2008 01:47 PM

My dearest Sorors,

I haven't cried like this since October 3, 1999. I am truly overwhelmed with emotion today. I have never been so happy to be a part of this lovely sisterhood. Never. I never thought I could feel this way about Alpha Kappa Alpha. My love has grown so strong through the years. Yet today, that love is multiplied 100 times. I never knew a love like this before. Ever.

Sorors, I read through these posts and I'm singing songs I haven't sung in quite a while. It's like riding a bike, you NEVER forget. I love you all for bringing back such special memories. But more than anything, I love you all for being the strong, graceful, hard-working, beautiful, classy, caring, and supreme women that you are.

So here's to YOU, my dearest sorors of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Incorporated:

HAPPY 100TH FOUNDERS' DAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sincere and Rare, indeed!!! Praise YAH for our Sweet Sixteen. HalleluYAH!!!

Skeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee-Wee!!!!!

Sisterly,

Soror Monique :D
