Alpha Kappa Alpha: The IVY
Alpha Kappa Alpha: SERVICE
In its first few months of life, Alpha Kappa Alpha cast the mold for its pattern of leadership in the activities of the campus.
The Sorority developed a ..
a.) beautiful tradition of ritualic services
b.) intimate social affairs for its members
c.) cultural presentations
d.) civic service for the general public, and
e.) varied contributions to the academic and spiritual life of the growing University & its community.
After securing these core elements of the organization, the original group invited seven honor students in the sophomore class to join the sorority. By inviting these women the process of ensuring the continuity of the organization was solidified. So successful were the efforts and contributions of the group that by 1910, the second phase of the sorority began to take form.
The group decided that their plan of cultivated uplift could be used to help more people excel with dignity by expanding the organization to other campuses. There was a great deal of work completed on this front and to this end helped the women of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority keep the torch of the ideals of the sorority lighted.
