I agree with daruler, In my quest to find out about different bglo's for women I ran across the same tired stereotypes that everyone believes about AKA's. However, when I accepted my current position of work,those stereotypes vanished, and my mind became made up in NO TIME!! Off the top of my head, I can think of seven of the women I work with that are members of Alpha Kappa Alpha. They are Prosecutor's, Defense Atrronety's, Law Student Interns, Directors of Governmental departments, and well-respected Judges. This says a lot about AKA to me. While other sororities brag about the number of current members they have, I believe in QUALITY not QUANTITY. I was fortunate enough to attend a breakfast given by Alpha Kappa Alpha with Tavis Smiley as the guest speaker. It felt so good to be surrounded by so many positive black women. Being able to experience that made me want AKA that much more.
