A guiding light beckons the leaders of the largest and oldest black sorority to the Philadelphia area today.
As the kick-off for its centennial convention, the top officials of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority are making a pilgrimage to Sharon Hill, Delaware County, to visit the grave of the sorority's founder, Ethel Hedgeman Lyle, who is often reverently referred to as "The Guiding Light."
"We are here to say [to Lyle], 'We are still true to the ideals you had 100 years ago,' " said Evelyn Sample-Oates, the sorority's regional director.
After arriving by train from Washington, D.C., about 150 sorority officials will gather at Lyle's tombstone at Mount Lawn Cemetery to offer tribute.
