AKA or DST?

Alpha Kappa Alpha was founded on January 15th,

1908 by Ethel Hedgeman Lyle at Howard University

in Washington, DC. On the other hand, Delta Sigma

Theta was founded on January 13th, 1913 by 22

collegiate women also at Howard University in

Washington, DC. There are about 283,000 women

in the 992 AKA chapters around the world, while

there are 200,000 women in the 940 DST chapters

around the world. The symbol for DST members are

the elephant while the symbol for AKA members are

the frog. AKA’s motto is “By merit and by culture.”

DST’s motto is “Intelligence is the torch of wisdom.”

AKA requires prospective members to be enrolled in

school and maintain a C+ average. DST requires

prospective members to have a 2.75 GPA. Both

sororities have been going strong for over 100 years,

but there is one that is obviously better. I am all for

AKA and I hope to pledge at Spelman. I surveyed 12

people and 10 voted AKA while 2 voted DST, now

you tell me which one sounds the best to you?
