First Annotation

"Alpha Kappa Alpha." Welcome to the AKA webpage of the notorious Nu Chapter. October 16 2008. Nu Chapter. 16 Oct 2008 .


This website gives information on "The Divine Nine" and the sophmores that were inducted into the AKA. This website shows biographies of the woman who lead the founding of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority Inc. It tells me what she achieved and how she came up with the idea to think of a sisterhood where you didnt have to be related by blood by heart and spirit. These woman were females she knew and the females that her friends knew. This website also talks about how she had health problems and when she had to take sometime out of school because of her health.

Topic Selection

It's about that time again everybody. NHD is here and in this paragraph I will tell you the person I am doing research on and what she is most famous for and how I am going to present my project to the judges. This year I am doing a exhibit board about Ethel Hedgeman Lyle. She is the female that came up with the idea to have a Sorority for African American females. She started a sorority named Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority Inc. She says her husband had nothing to do with this idea but people believe he did. She started this with The divine nine that is what they were called till they wanted the sorority to last forever so they inducted sophmores so the legacy of the sorority would be saved. This was the first sorority to be Incoporated.
