Soror Tapped by Pres Elect Obama

President-elect Barack Obama today announced the appointment of four key members of his new administration's economic policy team and issued a somber warning that the nation's economy "is likely to get worse before it gets better."
In a news conference in Chicago, Obama introduced New York Federal Reserve Bank President Timothy F. Geithner as his nominee for Treasury secretary, a choice that cheered the stock markets when it leaked late last week. He announced, as expected, that Lawrence H. Summers would become director of the National Economic Council in the Obama White House.
Obama also introduced two women as his picks to fill important policy jobs: Christina D. Romer to chair the Council of Economic
Advisers and Melody Barnes as director of the Domestic Policy Council.

/crashing.
I was checking the grades for Ohio State University Greek System and I noticed Alpha Kappa Alpha was again on the list. I heard the Theta Chapter was reorganizing this year. I am happy to mention that AKA listed 44 "new members" on the chart.
I would also like to mention the 44 ladies had the highest GPA among all of the PHC chapters. Congratulations ladies!

Alpha Kappa Alpha sorority has deep roots in Cleveland
This article will appear in tomorrow's Plain Dealer...
"Despite its centennial, Alpha was overshadowed here this year by the slightly younger Delta Sigma Theta, which broke from Alpha in 1913. Delta made the news when a leading sister, the late Stephanie Tubbs Jones, was succeeded in Congress by Marcia Fudge, once the sorority's national president.
But Cleveland has played a big role in Alpha too. Its Alpha Omega chapter, formed in 1913, was the sorority's first chapter for college graduates. Cleveland also has a second chapter for graduates, Lambda Phi Omega, and an undergraduate one, Omega.
Alpha Omega was the first chapter of any sorority to run a federal job training center -- the Cleveland Job Corps, which the chapter operated from 1965 to 1995. Now an Alpha Omega subsidiary runs Ivy Plaza, a senior citizen complex in Mount Pleasant named for a sorority symbol. "

Soror Johnson-Sirleaf's presentation was wonderful. She has recently written a memoir This Child Will be Great.

I need one of these awards to have my name on it.

I want to thank the sorors of the Delta Phi Omega Chapter of Minneapolis/St. Paul, who showed me the meaning of Twin Cities sisterhood when I was in residence there.
I also want sing the praises of my amazing 68. She is a soror who is accomplished, wise beyond her years, pretty in the way that only our sorors can be, and always willing to share her hard won Pearls of Wisdom with me. Love you ship.
