Why, Biters? Seriously, why?

They are not called a sorority because they were founded before the term sorority was used. Their colors are silver and bordeaux but they often use pink and green in their designs. Even their website is designed in pink and green.

Their official symbol is the Ivy Leaf. This may be a coincidence but being that Alpha Phi Alpha was founded an hour away from where Alpha Phi was founded, it is plausible that some symbols may have been borrowed in the founding of Alpha Kappa Alpha. Being that the formation of the first BLGOs was, in itself, an act of defiance to the "all white" fraternities and sororities, it's not unlikely that some the symbols were used to make a political statement. This is just my conclusion though. There is nothing to support that this why some symbols are similar.

Please, members of AKA and Alpha, DO NOT get upset with me about posting this information. You may have already known this though, I am not familiar with what your organization teaches you about your founding and the origin of your symbols. I just wanted to point out to those who don't know much about fraternity and sorority history that nothing is new under the sun when it comes to some of the symbolism used in BLGOs.

Yes, I am one of millions that have panic attacks and don't like crowds. Good for you for pointing that out. I am sure you feel better now.

She's posting from an anonymous proxy server, no doubt in an attempt to keep trolling when she gets banned again. The slashes are some kind of software bug that crops up when you type an apostrophe; I've seen the same thing in troll posts at other sites.
