A group of my closest friends are members of AKA. During freshman year, I was involved in an abusive relationship in which there was verbal and physical abuse. It was because of them that I finally got away (although it took 2 more years for me to do so) but when I did they were right there waiting for me.
When it came time to recieve "the letter" I was worried. I knew that i met all qualifications but you know how it is when you doubt yourself. One of my friends that pledged in 2000 said not to worry. She said "You are the best qualified person I know. They would be a fool not to accept you because you are the essence of the organization." I swear, I knew then that Alpha Kappa Alpha was waiting for me with open arms once again.
