I Wanted To Be An AKA...An Alpha Kappa Alpha

Before I graduated from high school

I wanted to be an AKA

An Alpha Kappa Alpha

         Before I stepped foot onto my campus

I wanted to be an AKA

An Alpha Kappa Alpha

Before any talk of an interest meeting

I wanted to be an AKA

An Alpha Kappa Alpha

I admired her from the way she walked

I listened to her every time she talked

I asked God to make me an AKA right away

Because deep down in my colored soul...

I knew...AKA was the ONLY way

I always admired the way she served her community

Service to All Mankind

I always admired the way she promoted unity

Service to All Mankind

I even more admire the way she studies & help alleviate problems concerning girls & women

Twice again...Service to All Mankind

What I needed wasn't founded no where else

I needed a true sisterhood 

I needed to be around strong women...other than myself

AKA taught me things that my teachers didn't

AKA took me places where airplanes, cars, & trains couldn't

My love for AKA is deeper than the trees across the street from my university

Sweeter than the river & streams

Higher than the evergreens

Purer than my virgin body

Sometimes when I wake up...I can't believe my eyes

This sweet gift of destiny is now & forever in my life

There is no metal prize, dollar sign, or diamond ring that can compare to my commitment to AKA

There are no words to describe the way I feel when I wake up everyday

And while I can still dance...I will savor the beauty & wonders of AKA
