The sisterhood of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority continues to grow as the two Miami-Dade County graduate chapters, Gamma Zeta Omega and Pi Delta Omega, recently welcomed new members into its organization of women committed to delivering supreme service to all mankind. Alpha Kappa Alpha, founded on January 15, 1908 at Howard University, is the first Greek-lettered organization established and incorporated by and for college-educated black women.

On Sunday, December 6, 2015, family and friends gathered at the Hyatt Regency in Coral Gables to celebrate the eight lovely and sophisticated women welcomed into the Pi Delta Omega Chapter of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Incorporated --- Dorothy Cook, Kristen L. Pope, Rachel Mumford, Bianca Killins, Lisa Thelwell, Kimberly Wilson, Patricia Jones-Cummings and Olisa Adger.

Do check out the fabulous photograph below of the “Eight Elements of Elegance”; it has caused quite a stir on social media.

On the following Sunday, December 13, my chapter, Gamma Zeta Omega, welcomed 35 lovely, sophisticated and energetic new members as more than 500 friends and family gathered to celebrate at the Bonaventure Resort and Spa in Weston. The occasion was made all the more special by the participation of Dr. Glenda Baskin Glover, International First Vice President of Alpha Kappa Alpha and President of Tennessee State University and past South Atlantic Regional Director and past Gamma Zeta Omega Chapter President, Congresswoman Frederica S. Wilson.
