Sorors who will be in D.C. this weekend, please post pics ASAP. Unfortunately, barring a small miracle, I will not make it there  , but I will see you all in July.

Ditto! I would love to see a video of the events of Founders Day since I won't be able to make it. Once in a lifetime event!

Even Barbie wants to be like us!
Barbie rushes in
Alpha Kappa Alpha's centennial spurs Mattel to make doll
January 11, 2008
BY CHERYL V. JACKSON cjackson@suntimes.com
In the midst of a makeover and prepping for the ultimate birthday, the nation's oldest predominantly-black Greek-lettered sorority has turned the head of none other than Barbie.
Mattel Inc. will make a collectable Barbie based on Chicago-headquartered Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Inc.

(AP)
Mattel sought licensing for the doll -- the first in the company's flagship brand based on any sorority and any predominately black organization -- upon learning that Alpha Kappa Alpha is marking its 100th anniversary this year, said Elizabeth Grampp, director of Barbie collector marketing.
"When you pair that milestone with an organization representing an amazing cross section of women who are empowered leaders in any field, it's a real opportunity to introduce the hobby of collecting to a new group of collectors," Grampp said. "It's such a landmark event."

I might buy two! I wonder if they will be sold just this year or if it will be a mainstay. I think they would make cute initiation gifts or a great collector's item to give if I am ever blessed with a daughter of my own that becomes a Soror.
Thumbs up Mattel!!
AKA makes me happier every single day!!!

That's what I said. I thought about myself, my nieces, my daughter (lmao)...gotta speak it into existence! (smile)
My mother will think that as long as we have 1, it's in the family. :smirk: She knows me. I have to have my own.  The one she "buys" will be for the family. The one I will buy, will be the one for ME.
