I just watched it and I cried. I am just on an AKA high and I feel like that whole video renewed my neo-spirit. (You know the one you get right after you get your pearls?) That history, accompanied by the music, is just something for every Soror to see.

Skee-Wee my Sorors!!

The video

Sorors,

I only watched an inkling but WOW! I've been reading Pearls of Service and just hearing/reading/watching the rich history of our organization makes me all aflutter!!!

Also, this weekend we (the neos of ELO) held a tribute tea for our charter members, golden and silver sorors. The love in that room... Amazing!

I love my A, I love my A, I love my AKA!!!!

International President Impacts Media in New Orleans

Leadership Conference attracts media interest

International President Barbara A. McKinzie has made the media rounds while in New Orleans by appearing on shows on the local ABC, CBS and NBC affiliates. She also appeared as a guest on several radio programs.

On WNOL TV 38, McKinzie appeared on the show The 411. Host Glynn Boyd asked her about the purpose of AKA's visit, the significance behind AKA's new economic direction, the meaning of E S P and the Sorority's long history of service.

Click here to view video of the full interview. [Click on The 411 link and scroll to Segment 3 of the 7/22/07 broadcast.]

^^^Overall, I liked the interview. Madame President gave a wonderful interview. And I really developed a distaste for the host, he seemed absolutely clueless about the D9 and attempted to instigate an unnecessary rivalry. Of course Madame President tried very hard to avoid temptation and was resplendent.

Yes, he did seem clueless, and he also seemed not to be listening to the responses that Soror McKinzie gave to his questions. But she was good.

He's (Glenn Boyd) not too clueless. Greeklife was at his alma mater. His wife is a member of DST. Maybe he asked questions the producers gave him. I haven't watched the clip.
