TO RECOGNIZE AND HONOR ALPHA KAPPA ALPHA SORORITY FOR ITS PHILANTHROPIC WORK, AND TO DECLARE THURSDAY, MAY 12, 2011, "ALPHA KAPPA ALPHA DAY" AT THE SOUTH CAROLINA STATE HOUSE.
Whereas, founded in 1908 at Howard University in Washington, D. C., Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Inc., has the distinction of being the first sorority established by African-American college women and has expanded internationally to more than nine hundred sixty-five chapters; and
Whereas, South Carolina hosts forty-nine of these chapters, seventeen undergraduate chapters located on college and university campuses and thirty-two graduate chapters active in communities throughout the State; and
Whereas, under the mission of Global Leadership Through Timeless Service, Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority is committed to community service and actively contributes to the educational, civic, and social life of South Carolina's citizens; and
Whereas, alumnae chapters encourage their members to become involved community volunteers in one of their primary service components, such as Emerging Young Leaders, Health Initiatives, Asthma Prevention and Management Initiative, Environmental Stewardship and Sustainability, Global Poverty, Economic Security Initiative, Social Justice and Human Rights Initiative, and Internal Leadership Training for External Service Initiative. Now, therefore,
Be it resolved by the House of Representatives:
That the members of the South Carolina House of Representatives, by this resolution, recognize and honor Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority for its philanthropic work, and declare Thursday, May 12, 2011, "Alpha Kappa Alpha Day" at the South Carolina State House.
