The post with the URL for previous posts referencing the question of our incorporations should answer that question well. Now, onto the other questions...

1. Stereotypes only bother insecure people. I have no problem if people want to stereotype me as being "Pretty and Sadity"...or stereotype by sorority as being "exclusive". My response to the stereotpyes will always be an ear-piercing.....Skeeeee- Weeeeee!

2. Numbers don't make an organization stronger!!! You can have 100 members in a chapter and not get anything done. Our local undergraduate chapter has 3 members...and will probably never have more than 8 at a time, but those little sorors are WORKING for AKA!

AA's rusing a white GLO....to each his/her own.

3. Chapter size is dependent on many factors....geographic location, school, population of African American students, etc. It is not uncommon for Alpha Kappa Alpha to have over 300 interested women turn out for Rush at an HBCU such as Howard and Spelman...of that number, only about 1/8th of those women will become members. On the West Coast, chapters may have less than 5 members. The same goes on the Graduate level, where chapters in large metropolitan areas may have 250+ members, while here in my graduate chapter we have 20!

I hope this answers some of your questions.
