I've been pondering this question and didn't want to answer abruptly or without thinking...but the defining moment for me came after research of several sororites and prayer. Yes, prayer. Someone will say that prayer isn't needed in a pursuit like this but it definitely is. I had to check myself to make sure that I wasn't pursuing for the things that I beheld by my eyes but that which was stemming from my heart, with that, the programs that I've witnessed, the ladies that I know, met and come to know intimately and have impacted my life, all these woman had one thing in a common - they are women of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority Incorporated. They are women who uphold the law! They are women who are sophisticated and graceful! They are women who think it not strange to help someone at their lowest point! They are women who go beyond themselves to achieve a greater and common good! These are the women who I seek to be like. These are the women who shine through the darkness leaving footprints on tender hearts. The defining moment is realizing that with every turn, at any stage, you are destined to encounter one of the women. I too, desire to have and leave such a legacy and an impant on generations to come.
