I love the colors Pink and Green ...
Okay I am just joking, but really I love to walk into a room filled with Sorors wearing Pink and Green, and I love when I step into that same place knowing we are about to commence the business of Alpha Kappa Alpha.
AKA is a part of my personal and business life. I love to be walking on the street in say Disney World (mind you I am from NYC) and have a Soror say hello and then we start to chat. And then to enjoy that same love when you meet someone at work that is also a Soror, which I just had the pleasure of doing!!
It is the instant comradery that I enjoy, it is the Networking, and the sister that you biologically may not have or are not too close to, also it is having a friend there all the time no matter where you are. It is meeting a Soror on the internet and then visiting her home town and she inviting you into her home and taking you to church with her. It is making plans with a Soror you have never met, to share a hotel room with her. It is also having a person that is real with you, telling you when you need to leave that 0 (zero) in your life. Now all of these things, except sharing a hotel room with someone you don't know can exists through high-school friends, but I have found them in the Alpha Kappa Alpha women that I have met ... and I have enjoyed every minute of my 2 years in this GRAND sorority. And believe you me, I can go on and on about her.
One last thing is AKA is a learning experience and it is nice to learn along with other caring women that have the same goals for the organization.
So, I turned this into that is what AKA is to me but that is why I love her so much and that is why I always smile and wave to my pink and green sisters, oh and all Greek get a similar kind of love .... don't ask why....you have to be in it to understand.
