VOICE by Brenda Bethea The YWCA organization is described as “women on the move.” At Fayetteville State University, according to Gail Troy, this same description could be used to describe the Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Inc. (AKA). Gail Regina Troy, the hostess of the AKA Sorority, Inc., was asked to describe the functions of the sorority. Among her comments were: “AKA symbolizes sisterhood and sisterhood is the formula used to acquire togetherness. Sisterhood is speaking words of praise and doing the best we can to help and serve our fellowman.” Their colors are pink and green. According to Ms. Troy, “The colors represent something very special to us (AKA).” ' AKA was the first black sorority for black women and was founded on the campus of Howard University in 1908. Ms. Troy states that, “The sorority is the essence of all Black women and the sorority pledges its service to all mankind.” “The women of AKA urge students to call on them at any time for service or help that can be rendered to young ladies on Fayetteville State’s campus.” She states that, “Not every lady gets to be an Alpha Kappa Alpha.” Certain criteria must be met. Among the criteria is a 2.5 average and 30 semester hours. Sorry men, it is “WOMEN ONLY.” Published twice monthly during the school year by students of Fayetteville State University To receive The Voice please send $4.00 for one year or $16.00 for four years to The Voice, Fayetteville State University, Fayetteville, North Carolina 28301 to cover mailing and handling costs.
