I was only 13 at the time so I really didnt have a full understanding of Greek life but I was immediately drawn to it. My sister did not attend USC but some of her other friends did and we were allowed to sit near them. I was so amazed at how poised and together the ladies were. And thier presentation at the Step show was amazing! They were always respectful and they were also very well dressed...As soon as it was over I ran to my mother and begged her to buy me a T-Shirt with the organizations letters...just as she was about to purchase it, my sister quickly intervened and explained why that wasn't such a good idea. Again, I didn't really understand...But from that day on, my sister nor Grandmother never heard then end of me asking a million and one questions or touching some of thier Paraphernalia....As I've gotten older and seen the bonds that the 2 ladies have developed with the other members and how active they still are in thier communities, I've developed a clear understanding of what it means to be an Alpha Kappa Alpha woman.

Many apologies for my mistake, Im not sure where I went wrong in the post. Just from reading the previous ones, I thought speaking about the event and the impression it left on me was appropriate. However, I do take contstructive criticism well and will make the proper effort to make the necessary corrections for future reference.

QFP... There is such a thing as discretion. Define it, use it in a sentence and incorporate it into your vernacular wisely... That is all.
