What do you love most about .....
 

Hello everyone. (Before I post this question, I want everyone to know I'm a very serious sisterfriend and I mean no disrespect, I'm just starting a new topic.)

What do you love most about your organization? I've noticed the happy and satisfied look and every member's face that I've encountered, and I just wanted to hear about the more personal, positive aspects that you guys can share comfortably. http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/smile.gif

I love the fact that there are many of us are a part of something that is truly RARE.
We may not always AGREE on everything, but the FACT still remains, we are still one of EHTEL'S girls! We are ALL SISTERS!

I love this organization because of the bond that I share with my Sorors. I have many friends and family members, whom I am very close, yet when one of them also is MY SOROR, I cannot begin to describe what that is like. It is MORE than JUST being a friend, cousin, etc. It is something so POWERFUL, that noone can understand unless she, too, is a Soror.

Finally, I love how the organization continues to BLAZE TRAILS 92, almost 93 years after its conception. Sorors are continuing "service to all mankind" ALL over the world in the name of ALPHA KAPPA ALPHA SORORITY, INCORPORATED via activities, programs, donations, services, etc!

NOW, WHY WOULD SORORS NOT LOOK SATISFIED OR HAPPY?

LOL http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/wink.gif I never expected them to be unhappy or unsatisfied! I love that answer! http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/biggrin.gif

This is close to impossible for me to answer, but I'll try. There are just SO many things to love about our sisterhood, I'll try to keep it brief! I think that the first thing is the sisterhood itself. So sincere, and so rare. It's beautiful, so much so, my eyes are tearing as I type this. The next thing is the impact we have on the community, simply by existing. Imagine if we did absolutely nothing (I know it's hard, but try! http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/smile.gif ). Simply allowing our Black youth to see professional women who look like them is such a great step and helps lift their hopes and self-esteem. Now add in the "service to all mankind," WHEW!!! We truly are Blazing Trails. I think that Soror AKA2D'91 said it best, "It is something so POWERFUL, that no one can understand unless she, too, is a Soror." Aah, I Love my A-K-A, I love it, I love it, I LOVE it!!!!!

I agree with everything my sorors have said. However, I also take comfort in the fact that AKA stands on her own and continues to grow stronger. She commands attention and people take notice. Her beauty, grace, and sophistication are unsurpassable. Constantly BLAZING NEW TRAILS, she is the epitome of sisterhood and service to all mankind.

I agree with the positive aspects my sorors touched on, however what I truly love about our beautiful sisterhood is the fact that we represent the full spectrum of the African-American female, all shades,shapes and sizes Alpha Kappa Alpha women are so diverse it is wonderful to see that diversity work for a common bond, of service to all mankind.

I like this topic Sisterfriend http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/smile.gif

The thing that I like most about being an Alpha Kappa Alpha woman is refreshing myself on history and reliving what it means to wear the pearls.

Ladies of Alpha Kappa Alpha,
It is always a joy to feel the love that you have for your sisterhood. It is that feeling that keeps sisterfriends like myself continuing to strive for AKA. I know that one day I too will be able to express my love for AKA as a member. And when that day comes OH what a day it will be!! Continue the excellent work you do on behalf of her and in this season of Thanksgiving be grateful for the opportunity to be part of something sooo great and so highly sought after. http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/smile.gif

Much love to all,
Kisses

And that's all I have to say regarding that comment.

i like this topic http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/smile.gif what i love most about AKA is the sisterhood that i share with sorors all over the world. its an immediate connection that is generally so sincere. second i love that i get to serve my community in the name of God first and then AKA. i tell you picking up trash on the side of the road is alot more fun when singing songs with the sorors http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/smile.gif, its true you don't need to be greek to do service, but when the sorors of AKA serve people take notice despite the negative comments or stereotypes that some still want to connect us with.

I'm with you Total Elegance. http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/confused.gif

This is NOT what is meant by "not conceited, just convinced."
