A. If the school doesn't have a chapter, you might have to go online to the organizations national website, aka1908.com to find a chapter close to you. The website also holds an immense amount of information about the oragnzation as well that you might want to check out. Good luck!!

Is there a specific format my interest letter to Alpha Kappa Alpha should have?
Q. I am very interested in becoming a member of Alpha Kappa Alpha. I understand everything that needs to be included in my interest letter, but I'm not sure as to what format to use. Please help (preferably members of AKA). Thank you in advance!
Asked by Simply Me - Tue Apr 8 14:59:34 2008 - - 3 Answers - 2 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

What are the requirements for a student joining a sorority(Alpha Kappa Alpha) if you are a transfer student?
Q. Im a young lady intrested in becoming a member of Alpha Kappa Alpha and was wondering on what requirements I would need to have if I'm going to be transfering to another school for the spring semester. Can someone please help me and maybe give me a better insite on what I need to do to become a member of this sorority?
Asked by cocodivine04 - Fri Aug 17 20:06:36 2007 - - 4 Answers - 0 Comments

A. As a transfer student you must have at least one semester in which you were enrolled "full time" (at my school it's 12 + hours) as well as at the very least a "C+" GPA, although your College/University might require a higher GPA. So pretty much you would be allowed to attend Rush when you are in your second semester at your school.

A. You do not need to be in Graduate school in order to obtain membership into the sorority. You need to have completed your bachelors degree from an accredited university with a C+ average. If you did not finish your bachelors with a C+ average, then you will need to have completed your masters from and accredited university in order to obtain membership. I am not sure if the University of Phoenix applies you would need to find out this information on your own. Graduate membership is by invitation only, so you will need to find what chapters are located in your area. Try to attend as many events as possible to get to know the Sorors in your area.

A. Dear Interested Applicant, There are a few things that I must tell you before answering your question. Primarily, ladies of Alpha Kappa Alpha are not your Sorors until you have been initiated into our Sisterhood. I do not want to appear snobbish; however, it is offensive to be addressed as a member of our organization when you are not. In the future, please refer to ladies of Alpha Kappa Alpha as members and not as Sorors because that would not aid you in becoming a member of our organization (but I honestly think any of the other Sororities would find it offensive as well). In regards to your questions: Each individual chapter decides the time for their rushes; therefore, you will need to look out for any flyers or posters denoting the… [cont.]

A. I would say that you definitely have a chance, just as long as you have all the the completed materials required for membership when you attend the formal rush. You say that you are the "walking model" for AKA. I hope that you do not express that mentality to the AKAs at your school because it may come across that you are being cocky or presumptuous. Other than that stay involved in the campus activities and definitely make an effort to get to know the girls on campus. Good luck!

A. There is no 'on-line' that term is associated with pledging which was banned by the NPHC in 1990. There is an official Membership Intake Process (MIP) that candidates participate in after official notification from The Sorority. The presentations that you speak of are coordinated by the chapter at that particular campus therefore they organize how that show is done. There may be a nixture of new Sorors and old Sorors, it is at that chapter discretion.

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.

A. There is certainly no age limit. YOU may personally want to consider waiting, however. If your school has many 'non traditional' students (employed full-time, married, single parents, over age 23, etc.) then it is likely that the chapter does as well. If the majority of the chapter members or students at your college are younger, it may be preferable for you to become a member of a chapter after you graduate. If you are 29 then you are aware of the differences between 19- and 20- year-olds and yourself. Your priorities and responsibilities will likely be different.

A. As a member of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Inc, I must say that I know what you are going through. When I was seeking membership, it didn't seem that the girls in my chapter where holding Alpha Kappa Alpha in the esteem that I thought it should be held. However, if Alpha Kappa Alpha is something that you know you really want to do, I suggest that you TRY to become the change you want to see. We can't complain about things we don't strive to change. But, if the chapter there isn't something you want to be a part of, then there is always graduate admission. I truly believe that if you want something bad enough, there is always a way to get it. In the end, you have to make the choice and decide if AKA is right for YOU.
