New sorority added
By Aleta Sinkfield
Staff Writer
Saturday night 13 Elon College women were inducted into Alpha
Kappa Alpha, Omicron Epsilon Chapter. The ceremony took place
in Mooney Theater and a reception was held afterwards on the se
cond floor of McEwen cafeteria.
Marye Jefferies, Regional Mid-Atlantic director of Alpha Kappa
alpha, and Barbara Sellars, president of the Graduate Chapter in Burl
ington, were responsible for the initiation process. This chapter is the
87th in this region.
AKA was founded Jan. 15, 1908, at Howard University in
Washington, DC., by nine students. They established the organiza
tion as an instrument to make the college experience more valuable
to black women.
The effort to set up a chapter of the sorority at Elon began in January
1986. Dawn Washington, reporter for AKA, says “It was a difficult
process at the time because they didn’t know of a definate GPA re
quired for pledging the sorority.” In addition, a lot of paper work had
to be done and deadlines had to be met which were delayed due to
adminstrative conflicts with the national chapter.
The 13 member sorority is “a social organization which promotes
unity, sisiterhood, high scholastics, and values to improve the Negro
standards,” says Crystal Morrison, AKA president. “By having more
black sororities on campus, this may pull in more balck famale students
to the college,” Morrison says, , ■ u
The sorority’s goals are to promote unity in student relationships,
espeacially among black and white students, and to asist local com
munities in achieving their goals.
The new sisters of AKA are Crystal Mornson (President), Mane
Gaddy (Vice-president), Angela Norris (recording secretary) Lisa
Loomer (Treasurer), Michelle Morrison (corresponding secreamry),

a certain percentage of minority students,” Bush said.
Dietra Shugart says,“Another improvement which should made
with the college is to increase the communication courses where one
class could be set aside for editing projects and another for comnier-
cial projects, instead of putting them altogether. In most of the televison
commnication classes, the student is rushed to edit projects and com
mercials together.” ^ c i
In being offered a job at a local television station, Shugart f^ls she
has had more education at Elon compared to her com^ttion. I have
been able to have hands on experience with all of the communica
tions equipment. I am one step ahead of other college graduate ,
Shugart said.
