Interesting AKA article from Smithsonian
 

Stumbled across this while researching something else:

http://blogs.smithsonianmag.com/arou...ican-sorority/

"Author Rohulamin Quander Writes About the First African American Sorority Sororities and fraternities dot college campuses across the U.S. and despite the Animal Housestereotypes, many share a rich history and challenge members to commit to a life of service. Alpha Kappa Alpha and its first national president Nellie Quander are no exception."

I have the book. It's pretty good.
