I think what is in question is proper protocol- as a seasoned Soror of 22 years within our organization. I can remember after being initiated and going to celebrate at a restauraunt where alcohol was being served that we were to remove our pin-whether we were drinking or not. I think we should abstain from even the appearance of evil. I would not want to represent Alpha Kappa Alpha in that manner. I can imagine someone saying oh those AKAs are not about nothing-- look at their members drinking and gambling with their paraphernalia on- is that what they are about? how common! A lady would never do that! If you disagree then send all your responses to me privately
