Members,
I hope you don't mind me offering advice to my sisterfriend here...
Teresa,
I have been interested in becoming a member of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority Incorporated for a very long time. Before I transferred to the school that I am at now, I encountered members of a City Chapter that were about business. They were positive women, and very nice to me and the other interested ladies. In fact, when I went to the informational they had, I was soooo excited it took me hours to calm down
. My mother thought I went insane...lol. Although I was unable to pursue membership, I remained VERY GOOD friends with the president of the chapter until I transferred. At my new school, things were very different and I am sorry to say that many of the women were not very pleasant and at times a little condescending toward myself and other interested ladies. At first I was taken aback and thought about not doing it at all but I kept in mind that I am joining the organization not just the chapter. I just smiled and moved on. Things have changed alot at my school but people are people and you just go with the flow. Stay encouraged!!!!!!!
