Here's a picture of my mother and I.  No, she's not an AKA; her shirt says "Special mother of an AKA".  The reason why this picture is so important to me is because my mother is pretty much "anit-Greek".  She wasn't thrilled about my desire to join a Greek-lettered organization.  However, because she understood that Alpha Kappa Alpha was and still is in my heart, she wears this shirt with pride.  I love my mother and I thank God for sending me such a great supporter.  (Yes, De-Andrea is a true "mama's baby!")
This is a picture of some of my sorors and me at our probate show, April 7, 2001.  Because I was on a line of 35, it was inevitable that some people would bond quicker.  I bonded with these ladies and I thank God for introducing them all into my life.  I've learned that everyone comes into your life for a reason.  Even though we're not all as close as we were in this picture, these ladies...my line sisters...hold a very special place in my heart.
I have one picture of all 35 and this isn't it, but it's close. :-)  This was also at our probate...right before anyway.  We were all anxious and excited to tell the world that we were AKAs!  In retrospect, I think about the advantages of having a city-wide chapter.  I was able to meet 34 of the world's most phenomenal women...and call them all my line sisters!  I wonder if my prophytes knew how much we'd impact Beta Delta.... :-P  Truly a point of Convergence!
