The 22 founding members of Delta Sigma Theta were orignally fully initiated members of Alpha Kappa Alpha.
Are you sure? cuz I was sure that they weren't...
:arrow: 9 of the 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: Alpha Kappa Alpha and Delta Sigma Theta are bound as "sister" organizations. :arrow: Skee-Ooop is a community-service based organization consisting of members of Alpha Kappa Alpha and Delta Sigma Theta. :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. :arrow: Frogs are in no way associated with AKA :roll: 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)
:arrow:
I think she was talkin about the Constitutionally bound part that she was trying to clear up. I think the rest was just for clarity for the others

I don't know what the AKA Constitution states, but there is no official bond with Alpha Kappa Alpha mentioned in the Delta Sigma Theta Constitution. There may be a historical bond, based on the founding of my wonderful sisterhood. But trust me when I tell you all that we are not constitutionally bound to any other organizations. Even our bond with the bruhs is historical. Not all Deltas recognize Coleman Love. Some even detest it. I personally love and respect our bruhs. I acknowledge the bond, and so do the other ladies in my chapter. But again, for the record, Delta Sigma Theta does not recognize or have a constitutional bond with Alpha Kappa Alpha. I don't know who started this rumor, but I ask any soror to direct me to the mentioning of such a bond in our Constitution. I have read it backwards and forwards, and have yet to see it mentioned. I even asked about the origins of this while in Vegas, and some older sorors told me that it sounds to them like somebody really wants to be affiliated with Delta in any way they can. It turned into a really cute joke.
*~deep sigh*~ Here we go again. I swear you need to go back online. I'm not gonna go through this again with you, you are very uninformed. That is all I can say :arrow:
I am not uninformed. I read my Constitution. You are not mentioned. I asked knowledgable, older sorors. They laughed, and assured me that it wasn't true. It was never written in any of our official books, nor any of our other material. I am not here to argue with you about it. I am just stating the facts. Like I said before, I don't know what your Constitution states, but mine does not mention your organization. So if we are bound as you say, by a Constitution, maybe its just yours. I've never seen yours, so I can't comment on it. But mine does not mention AKA at all. As a matter of fact one of our official booklets states that "Delta Sigma Theta, Sorority, Inc. does not have an official sibling relationship with any Greek-letter organization...." [Sorors, you can check page 13 of the "little red book" for verification.]. So I am not just trying to argue with you. I am just stating the facts as they are presented to me and my sorors by our Grand Chapter. The topic of our "Constitutional bond" should be closed, as it does not exist on our end. My process taught that the only Constitutional bond that exists is between the men of Phi Beta Sigma and the ladies of Zeta Phi Beta. Any other bonds between any organizations are just historical.

CORRECTION: According to DST's history, all 22 of their founders are AKAs, but Alpha Kappa Alpha archives will show that only nine of them were actually members of AKA-hence their nine pearls.
That is not where our nine pearls come from. Our nine pearls represents something entirely different. :roll:

Cause worldwide, we have nearly 900 :wink:
Correction: We have more than 300 Chapters in the Southern region alone. We have more than 950 chapters world wide. I forget the exact number, but it definitely over 950. This info can be found on the nation website under the message from our president. And Delta does mean change...in Mathematical equations.

While, it has been stated that AKA officially recognizes the ivy as an official emblem, did you know that some AKAs collect frogs, mice, and rabbits? Supposedly the frogs are to represent that their organization grows in leaps and bounds. The mice are collected, because supposedly it's the only thing that elephants are afraid of. (lol :lol: ) And rabbits are collected due to the sound it makes when first born. They supposedly make the skee-wee sound when first born.
