Requesting help from AKA sisters in regards to founder's name

There has been a considerable effort over the last few weeks to change the wikipedia article about Alpha Kappa Alpha founder Ethel Hedgeman Lyle so that her maiden name is Hedgemon rather than Hedgeman (o rather than a) indicating that further research of her birth certificate and marriage certificate have shown this.

I see that the Founders page on the Alpha Kappa Alpha website https://aka1908.com/about/founders now says Hedgemon. The equivalent page back in 2008 https://web.archive.org/web/20080805...1908.com/past/ said Hedgeman.

Does anyone have any suggestion on where I can get information (Does AKA have its magazine public?) on the research that was done for the Sorority to recognize the change?
