My most special AKA memory is standing on a balcony at my first Founder's Day luncheon and looking out over a sea of beautiful black women, from 18 to 90, all dressed in white. It was at that moment that it fully hit me that I was truly a part of a sisterhood- something so much bigger than just being a member of my chapter.
Also, I grew up admiring my six aunts, who, to me, were always the epitome of style, class and grace- even before I understood what Alpha Kappa Alpha was (or that it was their common bond). Being embraced and called "soror" by them for the first time was a thrilling event that I will cherish always.
