Well, the member was very pleasant and gave us a lot of helpful information about finding the right organization for you. When we asked why she chose to be a member of A.K.A she spoke of the purpose for the organization and how it paralleled her own morals etc....
When we finally got to the organization that my friend is interested in the member was was very short and dare I say it "stuck up".
I'm sure my friend learned a lesson there......

While this is a poignant discussion about African American sorority stereotypes, it still references my Sorority, Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Inc. and portrays what non-members are saying about us, which is inherently unverifiable.
Personally, I do not care what any nonmember thinks or says about any of the National PanHellenic Council affiliate organizations. I know what my Sorority does and why it does it that way. Moreover, I pay my dues, attend my meetings and participate to ensure it is done properly. I know several other NPHC organizations have similar activities.
As such, I am locking this thread as inappropriate on the AKA Ave.
