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).

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.

Is It ok to write a letter of interest to Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority prior to an interest meeting or rush?
Q. To any member of Alpha Kappa Alpha, i just needed a few sound suggestions in regards to the appropriateness of writing a letter before an interest meeting or rush even take place. I go to school where there is not a chapter on the campus, but there is a city wide chapter. Also, most of the members attend another school that is apart of the city chapter.

A. There's nothing wrong with getting a head start on a letter. Appropriateness comes into question depending on what you plan to do with the letter once it's complete. If you plan to send it to the president of the city-wide chapter, that should be fine. However, understand that you may or may not receive a response. If you do not receive a response, I would find it inappropriate to continue to attempt to contact the chapter. Once you have made contact, they have your information and will contact you if they are able to assist you.

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.

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.

A. Good evening, Initiating this conversation can seem to be very difficult as you have no idea what to expect from the member that you speak with. One thing you will hear a great deal is discretion is key! One of the reasons for that is to minimize the likelihood that you can end up being hazed. As I am pretty sure that your reason for wanting to initiate conversation is to get information with regard to chapter events, Rush and so on. Here is my suggestion: First, I would speak with the graduate advisor for the chapter you are interested in. Introduce yourself to her and just ask if the chapter is having any events soon which are open to the public. Take note of them and attend them. I also suggest that you look on yahoo groups… [cont.]

A. This is a difficult question. While it is possible to become a member, it can certainly be difficult. My advice is to be honest about it. If it is something you truly regret and you have made amends by changing your lifestyle it should be obvious by observing the activities you're involved in, the people you associate with and the way you carry yourself. Are you referring to a graduate or undergraduate chapter? This can make a difference because graduate chapters require sponsorship by someone who really knows you and they can go to bat for you. For an undergraduate chapter you would have to know many of the members and they would have to know you pretty well in order for this to be completely overlooked. If you are an undergrad,… [cont.]

A. You've research all the info that you need for an inspirant. Here's a little more info you could use for the interest meeting: What should be in an interest letter: 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 explaination 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… [cont.]
