Are you sure? cuz I was sure that they weren't...

:arrow: All 22 founding members of Delta Sigma Theta were fully initiated members of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Inc. It has been said that their influence to 'change' came from the men of Omega Psi Phi, I am still researching this for clarity((only because I LOVE history 8) )) :arrow: DST's first project was participation in the Women's Suffragette March of 1913 :arrow: Members of Alpha Kappa Alpha openly defied the Howard University administration and also participated in this march, for those who wanna know where we were when it happened, we were definitely there :wink: :arrow: There is a huge misconception that the 22 founding members of DST were also the founders of AKA. Our founders had long moved on to AKA graduate chapters before DST was ever even founded. :arrow: Ethel Hedgemen, the driving force behind the founding of AKA, married her childhood sweetheart George Lyle, a charter member of Beta Chapter(Howard U) Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, Inc.<---which was also the first frat chartered on HU's campus Wink

:arrow: Frogs are in no way associated with AKA. We have no official symbol besides the ivy leaf---no animals. :arrow: Delta Sigma Theta is the largest BGLO with over 200,000 members Be back with more 8)
