Sisterfriends, Are you ready?

[OhSoPrettyNikki]

Yes, Yes, Yes!!!!
I believe that I am ready to present the best OhSoPrettyNikki there has ever been to the Ladies of Alpha Kappa Alpha. However I know that it is "you" who shall decide who is ready.
In the meantime I have boosted my cum GPA to a 3.67 with my 4.0 spring semester ( everybody say "whew!"), recently I have increased my volunteer hours at the local daycare & began community service at my neighborhood church ( although I am not a member), I am currently in posession of 3 letters of recommendation from some of your lovely $oror$, I am using this summer to get as much history in my brain as possible. I do not want to act like I know all there is to know but I definitely want to come correct. I have been in contact with the Basileus of the Graduate chapter in my metro area since the undergraduate metro chapter is inactive & w/o members. She is very gracious and kind. Hopefully I am doing all that is within my power, so ladies if I am slacking on a point please oh please somebody tell a sistah.

"Don't hate me because I'm beautiful"

When da EAST is in da house....Oh my GOD!!!! DANGER!

[Diva_56]

I have the outfit I will wear to rush (Lord if I make it to see that day...) I have my letter, the money (saved for over 2 years now no joke!) and most of all patience! I have waited so long for this event to occur, I am also ready for REJECTION if its head peeps out Above the clouds. That has been the main thing for me, keeping positive and being objective about my appraoch.

[InquiringMind]

Twenty-four hours huh? Let's see, that means 2 hours at the mall to get suit, shoes, and manicure; 4 hours at the beauty shop to get hair done; 2 hours to perfect my letter(printed on pretty paper, last minute changes); 2 hours of "silent time" (prayer, meditation); 6 hours of sleep (if I get that much--will be too charged); 3 hours to get ready (must be perfect); and 5 hours of "miscellaneous"(going over everything to make sure I have everything correct and in order). I hope when the time does come that this is all that I will be worried about--before I even start preparing for rush, my research, recommendations, activities, GPA, etc. will be in order.

Am I ready? Good question. I would like to believe that I am, but,as one of my fellow sistafriends said, it is ultimately up to the ladies of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Incorporated to decide if I am truly ready. My GPA is well above the minimum; my commitment to community service is commendable (alliteration); I have been early to every event since I entered college; The ladies know me; I feel that I have established a reputation of being reliable and competent. I am praying every day that my chance will come soon. Oh, I hope, I hope, I hope....

I brought this one back up also....isn't it cool to see some of the comments from some of the memberfriends who used to be sistafriends on whether or not they were 'ready'?


Honestly, I don't feel that I would be ready in the next 24 hours. I am just getting my GPA GOING where it needs to be, and honestly I don't even want to SUBMIT unless my GPA is at least a 3.8 (my personal standard). On all other aspects, I am about as confident as they come, but as someone else said, I think it was OhsoprettyNikki, I want to come CORRECT! I want to 'up my game' to another level so that I can TRULY be an asset.

[NOWorNEVER]

I'm not an AKA interest, but if the organization of my choice was going to have intake tomorrow, I'd be ready. I've finally got my GPA to where it should be, a mile long record of community service, know some financially active members, finances are fine, leadership skills have been sharpened through campus organizations, I've gotten to know most of the chapter, but most of all...I can handle REJECTION. I know that life will go on if it isn't my time, and that's something I'm not sure I could've handled a year ago. The only thing I'd need to do is run out to Family Dollar and pick up some pantyhose.

I have been ready for the past six years, but due to being in the Army I have had to move everytime graduate intake rolls around (2 times now). Everytime I move I have to start the process all over again. It helps to have my priorities in order. I have a Masters degree with a 4.0 GPA, actively involved in every church I ever been a member of and I meet members of this illustrious organization on a regular basis. I attend all open events and I know all of the "public" history backwards and forwards. I am confident in the assets I can bring and hopefully one day I will be able to WORK for Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority Inc.

[KnowledgeSeeker]

I can't say I'm 100% ready, but I've been trying my hardest (about 70% ready). For the past 4 (almost) years, I've been preparing myself. Reading EVERYTHING I could get my eyes to see about ALL aspects of the sorority, talking to my best friend, and some of her ls' (they are all members), striving hard in my academics (although I am a grad interest - my grad GPA has been close to perfect - not taking any chances ), working HARD in my community, and trying my hardest to do any and EVERY activity that my interested grad chapter hosts.

With God's help I can get to know more of the members (as well as having them KNOW me), have my finances ABOVE average, and continue to PERFECT my letter (I have written it about 200 times over and over).

All in all I leave it in God's hands to tell me when the time is RIGHT for me to blessed with an invitation into Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Inc.

And there we have it! Best wishes to ALL!

I am not an AKA interest, (though you all are beautiful, classy ladies) but I was wondering if all D9 sororities required interest letters. I have never heard of this before and I'd appreciate if you'd let me know :-)

[nikki1920]

I would venture to say that it depends on the organization. You would have to look at the Fab Four's websites and go from there.

[treblk]

I like that Nikki...the Fab Four...

But to answer the question, most chapter would like an interest letter, but it depends on the chapter.
