Personally, IMHO, doing community service thru my Sorority keeps me active. There is something that always needs to be done in my community.
When some people have those insenstive remarks about my visual appearance and my Sororal affiliations, I write it off. I have a medium tone with long hair, but I would not pass a paper bag test. Even my family pedigree does not protect me. However, I still became a member of my Sorority because I like maintaining my legacy heritage and keeping with family traditions. Those are my reasons.

Soror, I agree. I about the same description except I am a lighter brown complexion and it really ticks me off that some people have the nerve to point out anything about a paper bag test.
I was in Wal-Mart, I had my jacket on (mind you at the time I had only been a member for about two months) and this lady walked up to me and said 'You would be an AKA....I guess you passed the test' and she had THE MOST SMUG look on her face. I just stood there in disbelief and she walked off. I told my mom and she was
as was I.
I don't have a family tradition in AKA, but I hope to start one (waaaay on down the road
).
