I pledged AKA 25 year ago. It was a wonderful experience for me. Unlike you, I did not have a legacy to follow – how great for you.

You will find that your AKA sisters are bonded to you for life and you will find yourself, like me later in life, totally connected to the sorors when you meet them as strangers because you have a bond.

I cannot tell you what the pledge experience entails because that’s part of the mystic and mystery and each chapter is different. However, I can tell you that it will be a character building experience that you will treasure for life.

SKee Wee and good luck!

Being in a Sorority is a lifetime commitment. It means that not only are you committed to true sisterhood but it means that you are committed to serving your community and the world at a supreme level. I have been a member of Alpha Kappa Alpha now for just a few months but it has thus far been an experience of a lifetime! My sorors and the individuals I have met thus far have been such as asset to my life. I wasn’t as fortunate as you to have “legacy status”, it took me alot of hard work to get here. The experiences that I have had helped me in making my decision to become a member of AKA. Make sure that it is something YOU want to do first, even though its’ legacy in your family, if you heart is not in it that won’t mean a thing. Don’t let one persons experience speak for the whole sorority, because every chapter, every region, does things a little different all to fit the situation. Research all of the sororities and watch the AKA”s on campus at your school to make sure its’ the fit for you. Keep your grades TIGHT and your GPA extra high. Find things to get involved in at school and in the community but don’t overdue it, your education is number 1 priority. I hope this helps, its’ always good to ask questions and get advice even if you don’t use it.

Skee wee!

I am not a member but I can tell you that being a member of Alpha Kappa Alpha is a lifelong commitment. Its okay to be nervous, my advice to you is to become heavily involved at your school and community (as long as it doesn’t distract you from your studies) and try to get to know the members on your campus. Make sure you have a above the minimum g.p.a requirement and ALWAYS carry yourself like a lady. Membership isn’t guaranteed to no one but this hopefully will assist you in achieving your goal. Good luck.
