I am interested in Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority. How should I go about seeking membership & how does Rush work?
Q. I am very interested in joining Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority and want to know what steps I should take in pursuing it. I know that they hold a Rush but what steps should be taken prior to that? How many community service hours or campus organizations/activities should a student have if they want to be seriously considered for membership? How long should one expect to show interest before they will be seriously considered for membership? (One semester, a year, etc.?) And as far as recommendations and the required forms are interested members supposed to have those forms ready *on* the day of the Rush or is the Rush when they tell members what forms they will need? Also I have reviewed the basic history that I have been able to find but… [cont.]

A. You may want to view other questions on this site related to AKA. Please adhere to what the International website says for prospective members to do. Have good grades. Have ample community service. You should attend events that your prospective chapter hosts. You should look at the documents listed on the national website. No member will be able to tell you how many communtiy service hours will be appropriate. Just think about it like this...If you were a member how much service would you want to candidate to have. If you are serious then that may have already been noticed. To know when the forms are due please see the 'Pre-Rush Checklist' and the prospective chapter will be better able to answer your questions. View all of… [cont.]

A. You have to have one semester of college completed. The best advice is to check with Georgia State to see what they're requirements are as far as joining a Greek Organization.

What should a letter of interest to a member of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Inc entail?
Q. How should I format the letter so that I can make it straight-forward yet detailed? What details about myself or the sorority do I have to include? Is it ok if I write them a letter of interest via facebook? If any members of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority Inc. help me with this I would be greatly appreciated. Respectfully, RegalVirtuous
Asked by regalvirtuous09 - Sat Apr 19 13:50:22 2008 - - 2 Answers - 0 Comments

A. 1. The letter should be one page in length. 2. It should tell us why, specifically, you believe that you should be offered membership. 3. It should tell us what you have to offer the sorority. 4. It should give us an explanation as to why you want to be a member of our sorority. 5. You can leave out some of the more obvious things, like what school u attend. 6. You should approach writing it like you are in an interview; think of some of the questions that would matter to the the interviewer (above mentioned points) and answer them in the letter. 7. The letter should open you up to the chapter members. I wouldn't suggest sending an interest letter over the internet. You include it your application.

A. I'm not a member of that chapter. But read as much available info about the sorority and try to find the chapter's website.Most chapters put up flyers of their events on campus message boards,etc. Also, make sure you get involved in other organizations or clubs.This would be a great chance for you to meet some chapter members as well, because a lot of sorority women are already involved in other organizations before they cross and continue to be active afterwards. Goodluck!

Ladies of Alpha Kappa Alpha, Sorority, Inc. how to I stand out amongst the other expressed interests?
Q. I have expressed my interests to a couple members of Alpha Kappa Alpha, Sorority, Inc. on my campus. I am familiar with the other girls, but I do not know them personally. I am unsure how to approach them and express my sincere interest.There are also other girls that have expressed their interests to all of the girls. How do I stand out amongst several other young women all striving to be apart of this illustrious organization? I also plan to compete in the Miss AKAdemic pageant, which I hope will really show my interest to these ladies.
Asked by Lovely - Thu Dec 18 22:24:46 2008 - - 2 Answers - 1 Comments

A. The best way to stand out is to be active on your campus so my sorors can see you. Community service is key to becoming a member of AKA. Also, don't feel the need to tell every soror that you are interested. Pick one or two members. Don't worry. . .it will get around. Also, attend any open events that they have and ask to participate, if possible. Hope this helps.

I Love What Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority stand for and does in the community! Just a Question?
Q. I have been attending some events given by the local Alpha Kappa Alpha sorority in my state for some time. It's crunch time and I was advised that the ladies really think I could be an asset to this great organization (Thank God!) The issue is that I come from a long line of ladies that are active in another sorority. During my undergrad years they constantly stressed me becoming a part of their organization. I decided to attend rush and turn in paper work. As an adult my choice never changed, will this affect my being approved for Alpha Kappa Alpha? Sometimes its easier to tell someone they should have thought long and hard about their choice, it's sometimes hard for a teenager to think clearly with strong family influence. As an… [cont.]

A. If you did not participate in the actual membership process of the other sorority, then you are eligible for membership into Alpha Kappa Alpha. Really, it depends on whether or not some AKAs from your school are in the chapter you are pursuing now because there could be a backlash . . . there are so many factors. Regardless, I don't think you should give up on your desire to be an Alpha Kappa Alpha lady. During the graduate process for Alpha Kappa Alpha, you must be invited to participate in membership intake.

For Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority Members Only?
Q. Does receiving an acceptance letter from Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Incoorporated means you became a member, or is it the next step in the Membership Intake Process. I have heard many rumors stating that horrible things happen to individuals that pledge.

A. A letter of acceptance or invitation by no means indicates that one is an official member of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Inc. One has to complete the Membership Intake Process prior to becoming a member of the sorority. Please note that pledging is not part of the membership intake process. Any hazing activities should be reported to a graduate advisor at the University or the corporate office.

A. Yes, but membership in a graduate AKA chapter is by invitation only. If you are interested I would suggest getting to know active (very important) members in the area on an individual basis. It may take a while but there is no open process in graduate school. You will need to find a local graduate chapter. www.aka1908.com .

A. Hello! No, Alpha Kappa Alpha does not have any auxiliary organization. Actually, no group has an auxiliary org. In the past, some groups did, but with all of the ambiguous behavior between big brother/little sister groups or big sister/little brother groups -- those groups were abolished a long time ago. The Alpha Angels are now AAI (Alpha Angels Incorporated). I don't know what the Omega Gems, Kappa Kourt or Sigma (Doves -???) are separate entities (but I believe Kappa Kourt is now KKI. Some graduate chapters do have groups of high school aged girls that they mentor (I was in one of these groups -- long ago). My group did not have a name and we were in no way connected with the sorority. I hope this answers your question. Best regards, [cont.]
