I tried my best not to let the emotions get to me, but I cried like never before when I finally became an AKA. Part was happiness and disbelief at the honor of being associated with such a group. Part was sadness because my grandmother (a Golden Soror) could not be there. So, I immediately called her on the phone and as soon as she answered, I started to sing the hymn. She started crying too. I was just overwhelmed with so much emotion. I think I cried for the next several hours. It was an experience I'll never forget.
