Contents. inspired by boyfriend I haven't found this information to be anywhere else but from one website. I can't even find this on the AKA national website. Are there any other references to claim that, 'Lyle was inspired by her then high school and college sweetheart George Lyle, a charter member the Beta chapter of Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity at Howard in 1907.' 08:18, 16 December 2006 (UTC) In our official history, AKA was inspired by Alpha Phi Alpha's establishment of Beta chapter on Howard University. 01:37, 2 January 2007 (UTC) Ontario Chapter I encountered this link while doing some web surfing.
The organization is called, 'The Black Pearls.' Are they a part of AKA?
I didn't add the flag to the main page yet, because I wanted to get everyone's opinons on this matter. 19:50, 27 January 2007 (UTC) This is a group with it own by-laws and date of incorporation. The membership includes some AKAs and non-AKAs since the website indiciates that all board of directors must be an AKA, so that suggest that all members are not AKAs. I don't think it should be included in this article.- 04:42, 28 January 2007 (UTC) This interest group was compromised of solely AKA's and it has recieved its charter to be an official chapter of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Incorporated. See: Can the Canadian Flag be added to the Info Box.
I tried, but failed. 19:29, 13 April 2007 (UTC) I figured it out. 19:56, 13 April 2007 (UTC) Yes, a chapter is chartered in Canada. So, definately, yes! 01:43, 16 April 2007 (UTC) Important Members?? I suggest that this section be called Founders and Exec or something of that nature. Soror Bearly541 maybe you will agree with me.especially with the ESP programs, because one acroynm is Every Soror is a Pearl.
I think that all of the members are inportant in thier own right, yes the founders should be hightled, because without them Alpha Kappa Alpha would not exist. 01:52, 5 February 2007 (UTC) Hi, Livelyivy. I think has left the project. However, with the ESP program, the information on the program should reflect what's made public via the website , and not by meetings/private sources/ Ivy Leaf publications since the public can't access that information. AKA, as well as other NPHC organizations, have specific mandates in which certain information can be released.
For example, a brief biography of the Presidents/Founders can be released by looking at what's online, but not by the history book because that's property of the sorority itself which is released to members only. Remember, this page, as well as the Alpha's (and other NPHC organizations) pages are made public and are not the official history of the sororities/fraternities. In addition, I think Bearly has changed 'important members' to 'honorary members.' Let me know if you need any help. 02:33, 6 February 2007 (UTC) Livelyivy, I see what you referred to, and I have changed the title. 02:37, 8 February 2007 (UTC) Ivy Acres I do not know how to write a article that will meet the requirements required by wikipedia. If anyone think this is worth inclusion check it out.
Ivy Acres community for senior living website www.ivyacres-sri.com This community was created by Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Incorporated. ( 17:40, 6 April 2007 (UTC)) I don't think that's worth including because on AKA's website, they don't mention the location. On the site, if it was supported by Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Incorporated, the website would have had a copyright by Alpha Kappa Alpha. I think a member of AKA, but not the organization started this endeavor, but I could be wrong. 03:49, 7 April 2007 (UTC) See: also The members of the board of directors arew AKA's. It doesn't have to be included, I thought it would be worth checking out that's all. ( 19:39, 8 April 2007 (UTC)) As long as the information is official and supported by the sorority.
However, I would wait, since the complex hasn't been built yet. Wikipedia is not. 22:31, 8 April 2007 (UTC) Information to improve article What type of information should be added to make this atricle A class. For example som things I have noticed included in other articles are the Organization Journal/Magazine. The official publication of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority is the Ivy Leaf. Alpha Kappa Alpha was incorporated January 29, 1913. The New Centennial website offers lots of information including the officer titles for example Basileus (President of Chapter, Supreme Basileus (International President), Second Supreme Anti Basileus (2nd International Vice President (an undergraduate position)).
15:57, 18 April 2007 (UTC) The page is a really good example of FA class. You can ask for additional help on this.
21:38, 18 April 2007 (UTC) I like the information about the ESP that was added especially about the Undergraduate Signature Program. 02:38, 29 April 2007 (UTC) Yes, I got it from the press release on the official website. 22:35, 29 April 2007 (UTC) I added Regional information. If it needs to be changed please leave them in the order that I have listed them.
I tried to place them side by side listing five in each row, but that didn't turn out well. I also wanted to include the geographical photo (see: ) of the regions from the website, but I am not a great wiki user. 22:22, 11 May 2007 (UTC). Regions of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority.
' Yes, I might make a Pink and Green map for this. 23:15, 11 May 2007 (UTC) I also am improving EAF, since they updated the website. If you could upload a past Ivy Leaf that would be great! 23:17, 11 May 2007 (UTC) I had to remove the content that you inserted, LI, because it violated. 23:22, 11 May 2007 (UTC) (reduce indent) I made an image and u/l to commons.
See this 05:16, 12 May 2007 (UTC) I added the information for the regions to this article. I am also going to add the Miner Hall picture to the history portion. 06:12, 15 May 2007 (UTC) I do not know how to include in the article a reference, but the part about Jane Addams is on page 272 of Past is Prologue. Also, I scanned a copy of Ivy Leaf and I couldn't get it to upload. Sould I call corporate office to make sure it is OK? 19:37, 18 May 2007 (UTC) Ivy, I can add the citation for you, per. Also, b/c of the permission that I received from the picture site (see bottom topic), I can upload one of the Ivy Leaf images from the 1930s or so, as well as the Miner Hall image.
It would be best to e-mail the sorority first for the EAF and the ESP images. I am kind of on break (on and off), but I will update the citation for you. 00:34, 19 May 2007 (UTC) I have added the Ivy Leaf magazine to the article.
I need to add the MS Health project to the article. I have also added commons images to the bottom of the article. More information from other sources would be helpful.
04:11, 2 June 2007 (UTC) You should include some text regarding the Ivy leaf magazine to justify the inclusion of the picture in the article. The text should be in close proximit to the picture of the journal.- 06:53, 22 June 2007 (UTC) Trivia section The triva section seems to have been replaced with a header called 'NPHC' but the information that follows seems to have no relation to the NPHC. EX: Hillary Clinton and Founder Lucy Diggs Slowe and her relation to Elder Watson Diggs of KAPsi. 16:32, 30 April 2007 (UTC) I have corrected it.
I am thinking about putting 'Alpha Kappa Alpha founder Lucy Diggs Slowe is related to founder Elder Watson Diggs. ' into the article.
01:13, 6 May 2007 (UTC) Would the information about the Diggs not be suitable in this article also. 15:53, 9 May 2007 (UTC) No, would be suitable in the article about Lucy Diggs Slowe or about Diggs himself. 22:39, 9 May 2007 (UTC) Images from Commons I added images from. I also am wondering if we can upload if we have fair use permission from the author.
22:38, 9 May 2007 (UTC) How would we obtain permission? By just e-mailing the people who posted them to the group? I am sure they didn't take the original photos. Also, I love the improvements.
20:57, 11 May 2007 (UTC) Yes, I e-mailed the group yesterday. And, thanks for the compliment!
23:17, 11 May 2007 (UTC) Smithsonian pics I also found an archive of pictures by the Smithsonian. I should u/l them soon and add them to the article.

Alpha Kappa Alpha Mip Test Study Guide
02:59, 19 May 2007 (UTC) This is against copyright of 70+ years after the author's death. 18:49, 1 July 2007 (UTC) Controversy I am wondering if such controversy should be included in the article, such as hazing and the MiAKAS. I have read archives to say that the men should not be included, but I have seen news reports on the MiAKAs, thus making the argument for. Also, I do believe that the incident with the California women should be included, because this is when Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Incorporated made their anti-hazing policy more stringent.
13:02, 22 May 2007 (UTC) I do not think anything about the 'men' should be included. They have no official or unofficial ties to Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Inc. They have gone to length to e-mail members trying to explain their connection, but a letter from the Centennial Supreme Basileus detailed how there is no connection what so ever. I am not in favor of anything about the Cali incident, but I am not in total opposition. 18:46, 22 May 2007 (UTC) I mean, we can leave the controversy to a later date.
However, the California incident proved to be not related. I mean, we can mention the incident, but say, 'disclaimer, the sorority wasn't a chapter of AKA, and led to stricter rules, etc.' We most definitely need to mention the hazing policy, though. 19:46, 22 May 2007 (UTC) I can write something which will come from the anti-hazing handbook, can I e-mail it to you to make sure it sounds good. 01:29, 23 May 2007 (UTC) You can e-mail me.
Can you please ask the organization about the EAF and the ESP images, because I don't know who to contact as far as PR with the sorority. 06:06, 23 May 2007 (UTC) If you're going to mention the more stringent hazing policy, I think you're have to include the 'Cali incident' since it was the impetus for the policy.
Unfortunately, as editors, you must present a Neutral and Unbiased POV, and that may entail including some info that is not flattering. —Preceding comment added by (.
) I have added the controversy section on the Present Day section. 23:00, 18 July 2007 (UTC) Commons Images I am u/l images to commons which I found from the NIH.
I will make a section soon on the Mississippi Health project (i.e. 16:03, 25 May 2007 (UTC) Done 00:57, 2 November 2007 (UTC) Books I would love to put the Heritage Series in this article. But the problem is that I don't have the covers for these booklets. Subjects include:. Women in the Judiciary. Women in Politics.
Women in Medicine. Women in Business.
Women in Dentistry Also, I would like to get access to The American Council on Human Rights: An Evaluation (March 15, 1954). A copy of it is located on eBay. I just need to search and find, I guess. Lively, if you could get some of your sorors to help with adding information the article, that would be excellent, because it seems to me that I am the only one working on the article.:-( 10:35, 27 May 2007 (UTC) The article can list all the booklets, however; I think a single picture from one of the covers would be a suffice as an example of the series.- 06:47, 22 June 2007 (UTC) IMHO, I think there are too many pictures, and we can leave some pictures out. 09:08, 18 October 2007 (UTC) Done 02:21, 19 October 2007 (UTC) Ivy Leaf Pledge Club I was a member of the 'Ivy Leaf Pledge Club' at a historically Black university.
Our colors were not 'pink and blue,' nor was our motto, 'nothing but the highest.' What source was used other than the info. From Wilberforce U. In 1922, as this info. Is not 'universal' as this article suggests? 02:16, 6 June 2007 (UTC) The information regarding the Ivy Leaf Pledge Club was published by the Wilberforce University chapter.
I think the colors would change at specific universities. Instead, I will put, For example, at Wilberforce University, the 'Ivy Leaf Pledge Club' motto. And, the Wilberforce picture was the only source for that information that I could find online. I am sure that there is more information in the sorority's history books.
02:39, 6 June 2007 (UTC) Yes, I had looked at the Wilberforce info. Previously and thought nothing of the motto/colors info. What is important is what the Ivy Leaf Pledge Club was- which is explained pretty well. And the pledge club colors may have been important to Wilberforce and/or to certain pledge clubs. I would not go as far as to say that the motto and colors thing would change at other universities. Keep the info.
Found at Wilberforce simply as info. Found at Wilberforce. In other words, don't attribute the motto/colors to all pledge clubs. You could simply state that they adopted such and such colors and as their motto. See the distinction? 17:54, 6 June 2007 (UTC) I have done that, thank you. 03:32, 7 June 2007 (UTC) Feature Article?
The article has improved immensely with the help of several editors. It would be a great idea to get the article to Feature Article status and possibly have it featured during the week of January 15, 2008 in honor of the 100th anniversary. Once you have a stable article, the next step is a peer review. The reviewers can be merciless, but the info is helpful.- 06:35, 22 June 2007 (UTC) You may consider looking at the page, see the milestones and reveiw the peer review and FA candidiate reviews to see what the objections were, so that you can avoid these 'mistakes'. You may also want to review current articles nominated for FA to see what current reviewers are lookin for in an FA article.- 06:40, 22 June 2007 (UTC) Miner Hall Image Please read my comments in the discussion section for your image of Miner Hall. It is incorrect.
15:51, 24 September 2007 (UTC)L. Jones-(non-registered user) Responded there. 16:54, 24 September 2007 (UTC) Copy of the conversation This is not the correct image of Miner Hall, the founding location of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Inc.
This is a picture of the Miner Teacher's College Building, which was located next to Howard Univerisity. The building is now owned by the school. To see a picture of Miner Hall, as it was in 1908, visit The link provided is the building when it existed in 1868. The image is correct, because it was used by the national website. 16:53, 24 September 2007 (UTC).
