Joined Alpha Kappa Sorority Inc.- March 19, 1995 @ Beta Psi Chapter

​Why did you join Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority Inc.?
“During my time on campus, I had observed the women of AKA serving the community and from the outside looking in the chapter seemed to have a strong bond of sisterhood. I also, had a friend that was interested and we encouraged one another during the process of becoming members.”

Most memorable moment at your institution?
“Going to the Bayou Classic football game in New Orleans where we played against Grambling University.”

What advice would you give to an incoming freshman?- “Being far away from home, it’s easy to get distracted. Stay focused on school and don’t overload yourself with too many classes the first year. Use a calendar to organize your life so that you have class and free time planned. Also, be sure to get involved in the campus life.”

Why should a student select Southern University A&M College?- “Southern University has an excellent Engineering and Nursing program. During the time I attended Southern it was the largest HBCU. The majority of my classes were reasonable in size. The professor knew every student and took a personal interest in making sure the student succeeded. Also, it doesn’t hurt to have the best Marching Band and Dancing Dolls among the HBCU’s.”
