Do I need special connections to become a member of Delta Sigma Theta Alpha Chapter?
Q. I don't really know any important deltas. I do have two cousins who are members of Delta Sigma Theta, but not the Alpha Chapter at Howard. I would really like to pledge at Howard.

A. No, you do not need "special connections" to become a member of DST. Have you reached out to your cousins who are deltas and made them aware of your interests? I am sure my sorors would tell you the same. With that being said I will say since you are attending Howard and interested in joining Alpha Chapter, there are a few things I will suggest. Get involved on campus as soon as possible. There are many other organizations that you can become apart of. Also I would get to know my sorors on your campus. This is VERY important because as I have stated before on this answer board, you can meet the requirements of becoming a member of DST but if you don't have the majority vote then it doesn't matter. As long as you have a great solid gpa,… [cont.]

For graduate Chapter of Alpha Kappa Alpha are you expected to know everything about everyone?
Q. I am a senior and attend a well known HBCU.I tried for Alpha Kappa Alpha, but unfortunately they didn't have a line this year. I am now focusing on the graduate chapter, but I had a few questions. Am I expected to know the same information (full names,hometowns, line-names, majors, clubs) that I had to memorize for undergrad? (basically stalking lol) One more question I thought of, are there a certain number of credit hours needed for grad school before I can be invited? Thanks!

A. I too, went to a prominent HBCU and am looking into AKA grad chapter. Graduate chapter is a little different. It would be helpful to know at least a little something on some of the members, but I don't think they expect you to be as knowlegeable as you might have been in undergrad since they're not as accessible. But when you go to the events do network as much as possible so you can get to know them. Also, you don't have to be in grad school at all to pledge a graduate chapter. You just have to have a bachelor's degree. Hope this helps!

A. If the chapter is not listed under "Chapter Locator" on the national website then its a pretty good chance that the chapter is not active. If you are attending college currently, you can check with the student organizations office at your school to find out. Good luck!

A. If there is no chapter in your area, go to the national website to find the chapter closest to you. You show your interest by attending events open to the public. If they don't have a website or if they do and it's not updated, you can find out about events by checking the newspaper, radio, word of mouth or fliers posted in shopping areas or community centers.

A. Alpha Kappa Alpha no longer pledge. Aspirants go through the MIP. It won't be easy getting into the grad chapter since it's by invitation only. If you know 4 members, then they will be able to tell you when the grad chapter has community service open to the public. Just make sure you continue to do community service.

No. If your campus chapter of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority is inactive, it is not possible for you to become a member of the Sorority at this time.

A. I would advise to look for that information through the student organizations office at your school, or the graduate advisor for Alpha Kappa Alpha at your school, or a website for the chapter. Many Black Greek organizations particularly at HBCU's only have a spring intake. Protocol TIPS: Please refrain from using the letters "AKA" when making refereces to the sorority, as some sorority members may not look highly upon you doing so. Terms such as "Lines" or "Pledging" are no longer used within the sorority so please refrain from making making references using those terms as well. Alpha Kappa Alpha has a Membership Intake Process (MIP). Good luck.

A. Hello fellow aspirant, I was told by other members of the sorority( Alpha Kappa Alpha) that the best way to make yourself noticeable to other members is by attending public events that particular Grad chapter in your area is hosting. Alot of graduate chapters will have their up and coming events listed on their website(from what I've observed), you can go on the sorority's national website,www.aka1908.org to see what graduate chapters are in your area. Also another good way is being involved in community service in your area, you'll be surprised who all you will come in contact with just by being active in your community.
