4-'QQ Alpha Kappa Alpha Members include Teresa Jackson, Joyce Payne, Daphne Shurn, Meo Epps, Melissa Shurn, Rebecca Hunt, Elaine McGraw, and Kim Powell. Alpha Kappa Alpha, a college-based Greek letter sorority, was founded in 1908 at Howard University in Washington, D.C. Its sisterhood was organized and continues to exist today as a channel or instrument for the tangible expression of human friendship. lt is a union of thousands of college-trained women who are bound by its powerful mystique. Membership in Alpha Kappa Alpha is open to women of high ethical and scholastic standards who are pursuing or have completed a course leading to graduation from an accredited college or university. The SEMO chapter is Nu Sigma for undergraduates and is combined with a graduate chapter, Epsilon Lambda Omega, in Cairo, Illinois. The chapter sponsors yearly events which include their Fall Fashion Show. This show is one of the group's major events each year and much effort goes into its planning and successful execution. Alpha Kappa Alpha!Delta Sigma Theta Ken Scale Service Tops List of Yearl Motives Each year the group also celebrates its Founder's Day on February 15th. They also participated in the Jump-A-Thon and gave canned food to the area's Women's Safe House. Monetary donations were also made by the group to the United Negro College Fund, sickle cell anemia sufferers, National Association For The Advancement Of Colored People CNAACPD and various other charities. Each semester, Alpha Kappa Alpha members held Neophyte Stepshows to acquaint non-members with the group and its activities. Belinda Earl, dean of pledges said, Alpha Kappa Alpha's main objective is to promote unity and high moral stan- dards among college women. Alpha Kappa Alpha is dedicated pri- marily to service-oriented events. The main social event for the group was their Founder's Day Dance and Dinner held during the spring semester. Elaine McGraw, president explained, Alpha Kappa Alpha was established primarily to help college women maintain high ethical and scholastic standards. We feel that using our group's energy to worls for the benefit of the less fortunate accomplished that goal in the best possible way. The sorority was founded on SEMO's campus four years ago. Sixteen members have graduated since that time. The group continues to stay relatively small because of its high standards and its desire to retain unity. Officers include Elaine McGraw, presi- dent, Kim Powell, vice-president and trea- surer, Daphne Shurn, secretary, Belinda Earl, dean of pledges, Rebecca Hunt, assistant dean of pledges and ivy leaf correspon- dent, Mea Epps, corresponding secretary, and Rosalyn Anderson, parliamentarian. by Phyllis Thompson Cindy Dillard
