I would just like to say that you can be a Christian and be an AKA too. As long as you talked it over with God and He told you that was the right decision, then go for it. I for one know my entire purpose in pledging was to change the image of the way my sorority was viewed on my campus and to make a difference in the world and I could not have gone through half of what I experienced without the Lord carrying me. Just to inform and educate-the principles of AKA are surrounded around spirituality and not Greek mythology so God is in us automatically. AKA is defined by the Greek alphabet letters and that is about as Greek as it gets. When our beautiful sorority was founded, we could not vote and were not viewed as important to society because we were women. We fought for change and equality as women and are still fighting. You are not successful without God and you never will be without God. We are only vessels and He ensures our breath comes out of our mouths and blood pump through our veins. We would not have had a sorority to be founded by young college women with a mission to change the way the world viewed us as women if we were Greek worshipers. Our sorority was not founded to wear colors, be pretty, or worship a Greek God or Goddess (man that was far fetched and if you were a part of us you would know that, so I can't fault you too much for your ignorance) but to bring about change and unity among women.
