I read this book recently (it went along with a lecture from my one of my classes). I wasn't surprised at all that Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority Incorporated was mentioned as a sorority for those in the black upper class. It just fits. I've learned from my own family background, that many of those who have come before me, are members of this sorority. My grandmother is not a member; however, her cousins and aunts are. I was upset with her because she had the chance of becoming a member, but because she felt she was too old, she declined membership (she was invited on the graduate level by friends of hers). Now she is really pressing me to follow through with that goal. However, back to the topic, this book was definitely good.
