Alpha Kappa Alpha: 100 Plus Years of the Ivy "Spreading and Climbing"

[ICYUNVME08]

My favorite National President is none other than Julia B. Purnell. I am currently an active member in her chapter in Baton Rouge...Hey Gamma Eta Omega. I have been in awe with her eversince I was young. My mother is very active in the sorority and has been for the last 32 years. Julia is the sweetest woman I have ever met. She does not play at all. She does not hold her tongue...she punked us in the church house for our founders day program in Baton Rouge. Since moving to Baton Rouge I have become one of her personal escorts if thats what you want to call it. I talk to her on a daily basis. She always has something inspirational to say about AKA. I know you all know that wherever she is she lets it be known that the is the SENIOR SUPREME PRESIDENT. I love her to pieces!!!

Sorors and Sisterfriends,

to piggyback on Soror AKA 2D'91's post, an article about the exhibit was published in the Cincinnati Enquirer. check out the link:

or if that doesn't work, go to www.enquirer.com and search under AKA.

i'm so excited that my city is where the exhibit will start Pink Tea Roses to Soror Bernice I Sumlin, former International President, for choosing to work w/the Cincinnati museum to make this happen

I agree about the comments about Soror Julia B. Purnell, when I was in her chapter she always demanded respect she had a presence. BTW Baton Rouge Sorors, speaking of presence how is Soror Honeywood, I think of her when I think Gamma Eta Omega.

Sorors, I cannot wait to see the exhibit! I have heard that the exhibits will be eyeopening to *all* and I can't wait! I may catch it in Chicago or ATL, we'll see.

SKEEEEEE WEE Sorors!

Sorors, if you would like a link to my Boule photo album with TONS of pictures of the traveling exhibit, PM me and I'll forward it along to you. I've been pretty selective as far as posting the link to message boards are concerned, because I don't know if Sorors in the rest of the album want their image floating around the web for the world to see.

If I have some free time on my hands, perhaps I'll post those photos alone to a separate photo album that I can post for the general public. The exhibit is definitely a must see, so check it out when it comes to your town. From the schedule posted, it seems like the exhibit will only be open during the first day of the Centennial Boule....definitely not enough time for the masses to view it.

Wow, I know you all are excited. Heck, I'm excited for you. Sistergreek love is in effect!

Soror Purnell is a Godsend! She's so wise about Alpha Kappa Alpha and life.


I'm making the trip to Dallas to see the exhibit.

Hello Soror,
I am very interested and excited to see your Boule pictures. I could not attend this year. I look forward to the Centennial Boule in Washington, DC. I have been a member for 12 wonderful years. I am active member of Iota Gamma Omega in Prince George's County, Maryland.
