And God Said . . .
            "I'll make a woman"
A woman of substance, A woman of pride,
A woman who is able to put petty things aside.

A woman of integrity, A woman of love,
A woman who is worthy of
The treasures from above.

A woman who is genuine,
A leader in every way
God said, "I'll make a woman . . ."

I'll call her AKA.

Phenomenal Woman of AKA

I am DIVINE.
Gently graceful, yet elusively powerful.
The blood of kings and queens flows through my veins.
I am the living dream of my ancestors.
In the company of my sisters, I serve others selflessly.
The spirit of our founders guides me, their light
shines within me ever so brightly.
I am the living dream of my founders.
I faithfully follow the trail these dynamic women have blazed.

Make way for this phenomenal woman of  AKA.

What is an Alpha Kappa Alpha Woman?

Beauty unparalleled, grace undefined,
An Alpha Kappa Alpha Woman is one of a kind.
She walks into a room with her head held high,
Acknowledgment of her presence is an awe filled gaze or admiring sigh.
The Alpha Kappa Alpha Woman is regal and profound.
She is the essence of feminism and these qualities abound.
The Alpha Kappa Alpha Woman is honorable and oh so unique.
All of these qualities culminated, create the Alpha Kappa Alpha mystique.

IN THE BEGINNING

In the beginning there was nothing, not a thing.  And the Creator said,
"It is light that I will bring."
Then He thought, "I need something to shine this light down on,
Something devastating and indestructible,
Something I can put a crown on!
So He thought of "female" to bring illumination to the night.
It later became S-G-Rho, but He knew then it was just all right.
Then He thought of what would later be Z-Phi-B,
It was just a "girl." Then He thought twice and said, "No, no, no!"
I need something that's gonna shake up this world!
So He thought of "woman" - DST it would become one day,
But it still wasn't all that, it was just OK.
 DST, S-G-Rho, Z-Phi-B would never step foot on this Earth first,
Never to be the original because they just couldn't quench His thirst.
Then it came to the Creator that His creation would have to be better than
Diamonds, rubies, more precious than gold.
He began to create it and all the heavens and earth rolled.
The Creator looked down to Earth and said, "Umph, umph, umph!" that day,
Because there stood His creation, the LADY AKA.
Alpha Kappa Alpha started 1908,
And as the Creator deemed it, all others would have to wait.
Alpha Kappa Alpha -3 words for a creation oh-so-right
And the "Alpha" sounded so good, that He put it in there twice.
Alpha Kappa Alpha, from her flesh all others came,
And after you see us break it on down, you will never be the same.

AKAtude

Conceited we're called Because we stand tall,
Uppity we're deemed
Due to our self-esteem
"Our noses are always in the air"
For looking downward we don't dare
And sophistication and class is a plus
Although others don't view it as much
Their thoughts are so remote
But when we were founded, Women couldn't vote
Civil rights were a luxury
In the early 20th century AKA was very political
Although they laugh and act very cynical
So remember the next time they jeer,
You were the FIRST to be here
Deleting all that was not good
And replacing it with SISTERHOOD
Setting a trend for all the rest
Proving that they could be the very best.
As ladies we must learn, Nothing is given, all is earned
With this in mind, You'll ultimately find
That it's a flair, It's a mood,
We call it AKATUDE
