I serve as my Chapter’s treasurer (this year is my second term), chair of the Finance Committee, and a member of both the Fundraising and Bylaws Committees. Prior to Hurricane Katrina, I planned a Breast Cancer Awareness program in conjunction with the American Cancer Society, entitled Think Pink: It's the Color of Hope. That program will be carried out this year. I am also the chair of Minority Cancer Awareness week and our program on fiscal fitness for college students. I’ve also attended the South Central Region Undergraduate Round- up, the Southern Louisiana Undergraduate Call, and I am registered for the South Central Regional Conference to be held in April.
My main purpose for pursuing membership was to be able to service the community with young women of like mind and capabilities. It gives me great personal satisfaction to know that my Sorors and I are making a difference. I truly believe that Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Inc. is “a gateway to service, not a stepping stone to status.”
