I heard the Alphas each get a pyramid in their name after initiation. No?

The founder of AKA was Madam CJ Walker, who had 8 daughters. Each daughter attended a different Ivy League college (or in some cases, their female counter part, like Radcliffe or Barnard). Well, Walker's daughters joined forces with their mom and established the first sorority for black women.

Incidentally, each daughter married an Alpha founder, except for the Yale daughter, who got stuck with a Sigma.

CTFU!!!!!

Yes. Actually, they are kite sanctuaries where the kites can roam free. Thetas adopt a kite but allow it to live in its natural environment.

Of course we're a different story...we are provided with a personal squirrel during initiation and it sits on our shoulder at all times. They are trained from birth and are housebroken.

Y'all quit responding. I answered the question (remember it was about DST) and the rest of you need to back off!
