This Just In: Michelle Obama Inducted As An Honorary Member Of AKA!

Jul 14 | by Natasha

Sunday night (July 13th), it was announced at the Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Inc. Boule (National Convention) that Michelle Obama will be inducted as an honorary member of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Inc. My sources on the scene at the National Convention tell me the ceremony is set to take place this week here in Washington, DC during the Sorority's National Convention festivities. I won't hold it against her since I'm sure it was strictly a timing convenience for which Sorority she would be inducted into since this is the centennial anniversary of the Sorority and the convention is happening this week in DC. Naw just jokes. Congrats to Mrs. Obama and congrats to the ladies of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Inc.

I would have loved to see her

I would have loved to see her has a member of the distinguished DST ! :( Congrats to her and she's still family! :) OOOOOOOP!!! And by the way..those stereotypes need to go away..learn your history. The founders of AKA were NOT all light in complexion and many of my "cousin-sorors" are not light nor brown. AS for DST we come in all shades, and we are some baddddddd sistahs. I am has prissy as they come and I do not need AKA to be feminine. It is insulting to sororities's for people who are uniformed regarding our history. Michelle Obama is fighting to be first lady and she's criticized constantly by the media. Lets focus our energy in getting her elected!

OMG! I called this like two

OMG! I called this like two days ago when I was looking up graduate information for induction as an AKA. I was wondering what sorority that she may be affiliated with, so I went to wikipedia.org and found no information. I turned to my boyfriend and asked, "I wonder when the AKAs are going to select Mrs. Obama as an honorary member." Ha! Who knew!

[quote comment="140541"]Whats up with all the ridiculousness?? If you are congratulating just say that! All the extra is so unnecessary. I am amazed at the sheer numbers of haters in this world. DAMN![/quote] I could not agree more. The congratulations are just veiled attack attempts. What I can't understand is why all the bashing? If you are happy with the choice you made; then do you! Quit worrying about what another organization is doing or who they are inducting. Especially if you are not active. If you have that much time and energy, I am sure your respective org would love the extra help. I love AKA, would not trade it for the world, but I am so much more than three letters and two colors. There are people with negative attributes in ALL nine BGLOs, so to insinuate that AKA is the only one with undesirables would be such a fabrication.

I'm kinda disappointed that she agreed to join any sorority. I figured she would be a little more unique and too educated to get involve in that. I will have to rethink my alliances (not to knock black sororities, I'm just not a big fan -Sorry yard people).

Welcome Mrs. Obama. You have

Welcome Mrs. Obama. You have again made the most informed and superior decision. The ladies of Alllllpha Kappa Alllllpha are excited to have you in our illustrious sisterhood as we celebrate the BEGINNING of the black sorority that is AKA. You exemplify what our founders foresaw us to be. There will be haters but, like us, you handle them so well. Welcome!!!

[quote comment="139602"]Greetings all. First and foremost, I am a member of Alpha Kappa Alpha (even though that should make little difference). Please know that there is little difference between the ladies of Alpha Kappa Alpha and Delta Sigma Theta. Both Sororities perform countless hours of community service in their communities. Both Sororities are concerned about uplifting OUR communities. There will always be women who join both organizations who do little or are more concerned about "wearing letters." It is very easy to focus on the negative aspects of Greek letter organizations or to focus on those few who members who still try to inject discord between the two (rather four) sororities. The old (and I do mean old AND tired)stereotypes regarding Alpha Kappa Alpha, Delta Sigma Theta, Zeta Phi Beta and Sigma Gamma Rho should be put to rest once and for all. It is a new day, a day in which the members of each of the prospective organizations should make a change and once and for all agree to work together. I would suggest that you focus on all the GOOD that is done by all of the divine nine organizations before commenting on the negative aspects. It takes to much energy to be negative so I implore each of you to make a change for the better.[/quote] I agree...but unfortunately even some of the members of these organizations have not shed the old tired stereotypes and after "crossing" and displaying their letters on campus they are proud to live up to the stereotypes of for some that I know, try to conform to them. Like I tell my sisters who part of the crimson and cream tribe, please teach these youngstas some humility after crossing b/c it becomes a turn off to those who may want to become a part of these organizations AND participate in community service, get paid to help uplift the community, preaches and practices the ideals of sisterhood while we have some sistas here who may be doing it fo legacy, popularity, or self-esteem booster...

As a hard-working, true member of AKA, you should be the MOST offended by honorary members taking all the clout of your organization. Also, compared to other D9 organizations, 150 honorary members is a lot. Before going to college, I knew a lot of lovely AKA members, but when I got on campus, I learned witnessed the image put out by members and I was appalled. Maybe there is a disconnect between new members and old members. Nevertheless, NO, an AKA cannot tell another AKA because I am a Zeta and I have been mistaken many times, including by my AKA mentor at work when we first met. I find AKAs to be intimidated by beautiful, smart, capable women in other sororities & non-greeks who could care less about AKAs. The younger members of AKA that I know are insecure and petty (not pretty). The pretty members are stuck-up & out of the 30, 60, and 100+ plus groups that cross- be serious- not many are still active and financial and virtually none learn their history or their line sisters names. But I could be wrong, maybe Michelle Obama learned a whole lot of history before "accepting her invitation." LOL[/quote] Sweetheart we'll stop calling ourselves "Pretty Girls" when you and YOUR sorors stop branding the BabyPhat symbol on your bodies. You do know the the BabyPhat symbol is trademarked right? Now runteldat! Yuck! "Finer womanhood" indeed! All of our orgs have inactive, letter wearing members so what's new?! It's a shame but it's the reality. Stop worrying about what's going on in Alpha Kappa Alpha and start worrying more about why a former candidate for National President of your org is taking your sorority to court because she lost the race to Sheryl Underwood. <---Tail of a line of 19 *check* <---A financial card carrying, hardworking member of my beloved Alpha Kappa Alpha since I was crossed those sands... *check check* <---Just so happens to be a damn good looking woman *check* Next time do better and try not to use stereotypes that all the D9 orgs have had to battle for years. You're college educated, right? You do know what a stereotype is, right? And you have a great day! That is all...

As a woman of Alpha Kappa

As a woman of Alpha Kappa Alpha, it is quite disgusting to read all of the misinformed comments. Notice I said woman- I am that first. Anything else is just apart of me, but does not solely define me. Unless you have visited every college campus that has a chapter(which I highly doubt), there is NO room to declare what you know AKA's or any other woman in a BGLO to be. If she chooses to join, great; if not, it is not the end of the world. We should be spend more time critizing the caricature of her and Barack on The New Yorker(widespread publication) instead of mindless banter over whose sorority is a better fit for her.

Well this news is very nice!

Well this news is very nice! Since a Delta was the first black woman to run for president, how cute is it to let the AKA be the wife of the person running for president...not the actual candidate. I'm not saying...I'm just saying ;)

I have to agree with this

I have to agree with this post below! AKA had dark-skinned founders. I thinks that is a known fact even a Latino Greek knows that- so it was no light or dark skin thang! haters hate hard don't they? Good Job AKA! For the Greeks who are hoping that Michelle Obama decline AKA- I must say you are a fake. How can you ask or even hope she does not get her Letters while to walk around in yours? You say these mean spirited things because she selected AKA- and I think your attitude toward her is pretty weak. Go AKA. Go Michelle. Ok yeah- when do we get to a point where we tell these "already powerful women" what they can and cannot do? What is your problem? Are negative Greeks now the boss of Michelle Obama? I personally think it is good of her to even extend a hand to help other Greeks. I hope she extends her hand to Latino Greeks - we would love to work with you. I am really proud to be Greek now!

Okay skee-wee and all if this

Okay skee-wee and all if this is true Natasha but I am an AKA and I am enroute to DC for Boule. I just spoke with someone there already and they hadn't heard this. Was it a surprise announcement? Michelle Obama wasn't listed on the original list of honoraries being inducted that I heard about. The biggest name was the Rutgers women's coach from what I heard. Also the scoop I've always heard on Michelle Obama is that she is Delta. I've heard that most recently from a caller in to the Tom Joyner Show last week. But I had heard it b4 that. Hmmm....

Fairly attractive.. not drop dead gourgeous... long hair, slim, popular and very very smart... which sorority would you pledge????? Let me ask you another question, if you went to Howard, Spelman, Yale or Harvard.. what Sorority would you plegge? If you were confident you would pledge AKA....why.. because you would pledge the sorority that looks like you...AKA's always look good.. hair is always done, nails are always done! manicure and pedicure... i love people calling me pretty girls.. stuck up.. smart girls.. prissy girls I would not want to be called other names.. for the dst and zpb and sgr.. i just wouldnt I really feel in my heart that any one pledges sigma gamma rho or zeta are rejected from AKA or Delta... I just dont get why would anyone in their right mind will pledge the other two.... I think people peldge delta, because they are not prissy, more masc... Just My Opionion can you really see michelle in any other sorority.... NOPE AKA19081stand Foremost..... all the orignal memebers dropped out and formed another sorority.... dst.. if you pledged delta, and you did not like what it stood for, would you create a new sorority...duh[/quote] :o See I came on this site to big you ladies of AKA up...but after reading this mess- I see SOME of you are still brown-paper-bag-bimbos. *Sigh* Nevertheless, congrats to AKA and a happy hundred :) I mean that sincerely. And while on the subject of PAPER (lol)...I got offered membership into your organization- but chose otherwise. "Any GIRL can be pretty, hell look at me- but it takes a FINER WOMAN to rep Z-Phi-B". :)[/quote] You should be a comedian. No one goes from Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Inc. to Zeta. No one, at least not in their right mind or self-esteem. Furthermore, we NEVER ask for members- your cousin or aunt does not count, love. Why should we when we are the first and the best? Nothing else matters.[/quote] Actually I AM in my right mind and self esteem. So much that I don't have to LEAN ON a sorority's sterotypes or image to define who I am. I just feel that you and your soror are trying too hard to be rude to people. Most AKA's that I know are not like you two. Most have a life. That being said, I'm outie :) xoxo, Kizzy And P.S. sweetie- it was not a relative.

Michelle is beautiful, black,

Michelle is beautiful, black, intelligent, sophisticated, educated, and let’s not forget a LADY. She is and will continue to help bring change. Most of you sound like uneducated neophytes who learned nothing but the latest chants. Ok.....sometimes you just have to stop hating. Just because you couldn't get in or just went wrong to begin with does not mean you have to take your frustrations out on those who are AKA’s. Happy Anniversary to ALL my beautiful sorors of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Inc. and to my new soror, Michelle. To go along with being the FIRST African American First Lady of the United States of America, she will be part of the first and finest sorority to which ALL others imitate. Sometimes you have to step back and recognize greatness. Nothing personal….it is what it is. It has always been and will continue to be our time. Stop it and grow up. Remember momma loves you. Now let’s all sing a verse from Jill Scott’s song “Hate on Me”. SKEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEWEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Dawg! Well, can't knock her

Dawg! Well, can't knock her or the AKAs for the 100 yr anniversary timing-thing. However, to know the histories of our distinguished NPHC sororities is to honor one thread of all our histories as African American, college-educated women in this country. I am proud she accepted the invitation. She could have stayed neutral about joining any predominately African American sorority in order to appear neutral about any specific ethnic affinity in the months leading to the general election. I am proud that the Obamas are presenting all of who they are as a Christ-centered, American Black family and making all of their interests and cultural/ethnic affinities relevant. Ooo-oop!! my soror, Natasha. Keep doin' what you do, too :-)

Ms. Obama is a great high

Ms. Obama is a great high profile candidate to claim. We, the ladies of DST, tend to be more selective. We have historically inducted honorary members with an established and significant legacy, not those who are high profile at the time of convention. Congratulations to AKA and M. Obama...whatever works for you.

I thought Delta Sigma Theta Sorority Inc. was the organization that's concerned about political involvement?

Her role in American politics

Her role in American politics makes it an honor to the AKA's for her to have joined their organization, but I would have preferred her to remain neutral until she actual made it into the white house. She's cool and elegant to me, but that does take her down a notch IMHO. Just being honest.

[quote comment="139844"]Why

[quote comment="139844"]Why would Ms. Obama - join a sorority (DST)... Look how Delta was founded! Fall 1912 - some member of the sorority attempt to change its name, colors and motto! Nellie Quander believing that these traditions were essential to the long term success of the organization contacts every active member and wins almost 100% support! The disgruntled woman go ahead and find DST! REJECTS... I am so sorry, if you found an organization, and you are not happy, you then make another one.. I just dont get it... therefore, AKA founded DST too![/quote] Before I begin let me state that I am not greek, however I do know something....."REJECTS"? I think not. In fact all twenty two members were members of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority Incorporated. Also note that the founders of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority Incorporated wanted to revamp the sorority because they wanted to change the direction of the sorority being based as a social organization. Also I question you as a woman of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority Incorporated. Why would you a woman who is supposed to be a lady (and this goes for the other women who bicker about which organization is better) who represents a great organization like yours portray yourself in this manner? NO you were not required to know concrete details of Delta Sigma Theta Inc. but it is a part of your history. I don't get it. Greek or not greek, we are all black women, we are intelligent, we are strong, and we need to support one another. Is that not the purpose of sisterhood? Are you not all connected under through the NPHC? Come on LADIES have more respect for one another (for everyone who is bickering over which is better) don't be so salty. What happened, has happened. Of course you may never agree about the differences because you are two different organizations. Just respect each other and prove to us non-greeks that you are not just an extended clique. I know both sororities do wonderful things nationally and even globally. Honor your founders with respect for one another!

OMG! UGH! Michelle Obama, my future first lad an AKKIE. OMG! Whats wrong with that. Let me count. #1 Michelle is too educated to be an Akkie. She now has to dumb herself down and carry a mirror around. #2 Akkies always trying to find some predominate women to bring into their organization to help pick up the slack of the 100,000 plus non-active women who are doing little to nothing in their communities or on their college campuses besides walking around talkin about mirrors and make-up. This is a serious matter. Someone needs to alert Delta Sigma Theta that another well-educated sista has bitten the dust and fallin prey to the pink and green. Ewwww! Obama '08

Irritated, Please explain why

Irritated, Please explain why you are so upset? As far as history is concerned, AKA history is DST history. That is a fact. Without AKA there would be no DST. Why is it that there are so many BITTER women of DST on this thread (I do not think all DST women are bitter)? I know many wonderful women of ALL orgs, and I know some that ain't worth nothing. Those are personal traits, not sorority traits. If all my sorors are conceited, stuck up, and our only claim to fame is being pretty,then why do you care? Just because we don't broadcast each and every accomplishment doesn't mean we don't have them. It is called modesty. I have nothing negative to say about DST. 22 women decided that AKA was not for them and they started their own group. That should be the end of it. Our process does not concern you, so what do you care for? It is no reason to be upset, or irritated. As far as taking the time to research, who cares? do u know EVERY detail of my org? NOPE and I don't expect you to. I get so sick and tired of DST members ragging on AKAs...Most of the negative comments on the thread are from DST members. WHY? Why do some of you feel that you have to go out of your way to be NASTY? Alpha Kappa Alpha women work HARD in the community just like DST women. SO WHAT IS THE PROBLEM??? I love pink you love crimson...they are the same color, just different shades. LET IT GO LADIES

Wow really? I can't hate on

Wow really? I can't hate on sororities because I'm part of one myself but.... an honorary member??? What is that even about? Did she apply for that or do you just give them out because you're so presumptuous to think that anyone who's made it to a certain level of success would be dying for that title?! Don't mean to sound like a hater but this is just too funny...
