I have an interest in joining alpha kappa alpha sorority, inc.. ?

Question

I want to join the alpha kappa alpha sorority at my school and i want to have all my ducks in a row before i even attempt to approach this matter.. can anyone help me? ive gotten all the information about the sorority, got my letters of recommendation in line, my grades are good but my community service has been lacking since i transferred schools last year.. i just want to make sure that there's no question when it comes to their extension of an invitation into the sorority..

Answer 1

Service is definitely a MUST for any Black Greek organization in the Divine Nine. It's great that you were service-oriented at your other school. I'm almost 100% sure that they will expect for you to have some recent volunteer experience in your community (your new school). I know some people that have had all of the characteristics, qualities, grades, and recommendations required to pledge but no service and they were not chosen (which sucks). If you can't find anything to do I would at least tell them your volunteer plan (you aspire to be a mentor for Big Bro/Big Sis, etc.), not sure if that will be appealing to them or not but I know that some can appreciate the strive to succeed. Sounds like you are doing great. I would definitely give it a go if I were you :-)

You can submit any community service you've done within the past two years prior to the rush. Just make sure the person who was over the the community service you've done fills out the community service form. You can turn in up to 3 forms.
