By John T. Stephens 111 Sentinel-Voice
Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Inc. (AKA), Theta Theta Omega Chapter, is hosting its 25th annual Founder’s Day Luncheon at the Monte Carlo Resort and Casino, 3770 Las Vegas Blvd., on Saturday, Jan. 11, at noon. Keynote speaker for the event is past national AKAPresidentDr. Norma Solomon White, who will speak on “The Spirit of AKA.”
Founder’s day is "where we honor our founders because they set the tone for the organization,” said newly elected PR director for the AKA local chapter, JacquelynCaffey. “It’sthat tone that young people today can relate to; service to mankind.”
AKA was established on January 15, 1908 in Miner Hall at Howard University in Washington, D.C. Founder Ethel Hedgeman Lyle invited eight other young women to join her in creating a sisterhood to cultivate high academics and ethical standards among college women, and to be of service to mankind.
The sorority’s name, Alpha Kappa Alpha, are the first letters of Greek words that state its motto, “by culture and by merit.” Several
speak on sorority spirit
Keynote speaker for the Founder’s Day Luncheon is past national AKA President Dr.
Norma Solomon White, who will speak on “The Spirit of AKA.”
years after it was created, sixteen women are credited as founders of the womens’ social organization with more than 170,000 members in more than 900 chapters around the globe.
“I was very impressed with the AKAs," Caffey said when asked why she pledged America’s first Greek-letter organization primarily for African-American college women. “I liked the way they looked. I liked the way they acted. I liked what they stood for. I was honored to join them.”
Dr. White is a retired educator who has 37 years of service to secondary education in Duvall County, Florida, and 12 years at Florida Community College. She has held many leadership roles in organizations such as the Educational Advancement Foundation Board, United Negro College
Fund, Florida A&M University, and her sorority.
She is the recipient of many awards and honors, and has authored books -— especially for the ladies of the pink and green — as well as curriculum materials used in kindergarten through 12th grade.
On a lighter note, Dr. White’s mother, Ruth C. Solomon, is also her sorority sister.
Admission to attend this event is $40, with proceeds going to fund AKA’s local projects. Improving academics among black students, observance of Dr. Martin Luther King’s birthday, economic development. health issues, and an appreciation of the ails are just some of many causes championed by the social Greek organization.

Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority Theta Theta Omega Chapter Reaches Scholarship Goal at their Mardi Gras Ball
Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority Inc., Theta Theta Omega Chapter reached its scholarship goal for the year with proceeds from their Sixth Annual Mardi Gras Ball. The joint partnership between Ronald McDonald House of Charities and Theta Theta Omega Chapter of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Inc will enable the chapter to give $10,000.00 in scholarships. The scholarships will go to outstanding young ladies as they prepare to attend college. Theta Theta Omega Chapter is assisted in this endeavor by the Clark County Public Education Foundation. The sorority has awarded scholarships to deserving college bound young women since its inception in 1965.
The Mardi Gras Ball is a project of the Ways and Means Committee co-chaired by Marian D. Bums and Jacqueline R. Hall. Verlia Davis Hoggard won the award for selling the most ads in the souvenir journal. Ethel Archibald won the award for selling the most tickets to the ball.
The additional proceeds from this very successful affair will enable the chapter to fund other Alpha Kappa Alpha signature programs, such as; The National Leadership Initiative on Cancer Community Forum, the Annual Community Economics Seminar held the second week in December (a collaborative with Omega Pst Phi Fraternity) the Multicultural Arts Festival, the Ivy Reading AKAdemy Program and numerous other community based programs that target the family, health, education, the arts, economics, and leadership development

Public Relations Report
Problem:
Theta Theta Omega Sorority is involved in so many wonderful projects that the community needs to know about yet there are too few sources to publicize them in.
Solution:
At our Theta Theta Omega Executive Board meeting we discussed having a Theta Theta Omega Public Website. Because of our limited funds, we will have to use the resources of our sorors to make this a reality.
We are asking all who have knowledge of how to set this website up to meet with us at our five minute meeting today. Your services will be greatly appreciated.
Five Minute Meeting
The Ivy Leaf/Public Relations Monthly Five Minute Meeting will be held once again at the Chair’s seat today right after this meeting. We will discuss the upcoming Theta Theta Omega Public Website and the upcoming Ivy Leaf articles.

The Ivy Leaf/Public Relations Monthly Report Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority -Theta Theta Omega Chapter May 10, 2003
Ivy Leaf Report
1. We were published in the Ivy Leaf, Spring Edition. See attached articles.
2. We are working on two articles that we hope will be published in the Summer Edition of the Ivy Leaf, one for the Regional Listings Section and one for the Newsmakers Section.
Public Relations Report
Problem:
Theta Theta Omega Sorority is involved in so many wonderful projects that the community needs to know about yet there are too few sources to publicize them in.
Solution:
At our Theta Theta Omega Executive Board meeting we discussed having a Theta Theta Omega Public Website. Because of our limited funds, we will have to use the resources of our sorors to make this a reality.
We are asking all who have knowledge of how to set this website up to meet with us at our five minute meeting today. Your services will be greatly appreciated.
Five Minute Meeting
The Ivy Leaf/Public Relations Monthly Five Minute Meeting will be held once again at the Chair’s seat today right after this meeting. We will discuss the upcoming Theta Theta Omega Public Website and the upcoming Ivy Leaf articles.
