OneDay:
Yes, I agree with you. Black roots run deeper into history's soil than a lot of people think. While I do admire many aspects of Alpha Kappa Alpha, I don't think I can bring myself to say it is the best overall because everyone's needs, expectations, goals, and standards are different and I try to respect that. I do think it is the best for ME though. I have to disagree on the point that Graham says that AKA is the best (read on the top of page 96). I would have love to hear him say that but he tried to be fair to all the Sororities.
I also noticed that Graham mentioned was raised with an AKA bias because he has family members in AKA. I kind of figured that in the OLD GUARD black upper class AKA would be preferred because in the first 50 years of history Alpha women were the daughters of judges, doctors, and succesful bussiness people. It's a lot more diverse today. Still I won't lie when I say if I see a woman that is doing well for herself if she is a greek at all she is an AKA!
