A Lady of Alpha
Kappa
Alpha
I
have come into my own
The light illuminates me
There is nothing that can stop the growth of a new Ivy
My
God leads and carries me
As I have toiled through the struggle
Knowing I will see the light
At the end of my journey's
dark tunnel
Sacrifices must be made
If I am to succeed
Learning about my humble beginning
From the Alpha 'till
the ending
There
is nothing left but to AKAcept
I am now an intricate part of nothing but the best
Not to belittle
the rest
The First Lady sets the standard
Beautiful, intelligent, and oh so elegant
The greenest of Ivies
Climbing tall
and reaching high
Not only am I a lady to be respected, honored, trusted, and feared
No one can measure my worth
Because it is measure in service over years
Sending praises to my Lord
And paying homage
to those who paved my way
The unbreAKAble, irresistible,
illustrious lady of AKA

Alpha
Kappa Alpha Mystique
Beauty unparalleled, grace undefined
An Alpha Kappa Alpha woman is one of a kind
She walks
in a room with her head held high
Acknowledgement of her presence is an awe-filled gaze, or admiring sigh
The Alpha Kappa Alpha woman is regal
and profound
She is the essence of feminism and these qualities abound
The
Alpha Kappa Alpha woman is honorable and oh so unique
All
of these qualities culminated,
create the Alpha Kappa Alpha Mystique

A String of Twenty Pearls
Life would change forever in 1908
When a woman dared to dream so wild
And everyday since then, we take to heart
her goal
The stride, the strength of Ethel Hedgeman Lyle
Oh Margaret, Marie, Lavinia, Lillie, Beulah, Anna, Lucy,
Marjorie
Your contribution was so pristine, so supreme
That's why you mean so much to me
The sophomores were
believers and joined a movement right
To carry out a vision fair
And even now today with sorors coast-to-coast
That
very same vision we share
Oh Norma, Harriet, Sara, Carrie, Alice, Joanna, and Ethel Jones Mowbray
You paved the way
as pioneers, transcended through the years
That's why you mean so much to me
How high can an Ivy grow
With
roots so deep below
A sisterhood so divine
It's a rare pearl so hard to find
You live on vicariously, avoiding
extinction
By merit and by culture too you've made a clear distinction
Oh Nellie Quander, Julia Brooks, Minnie
Smith, and Nellie Pratt-Russell
Your contribution was so supreme, that's why you'll never know
How much you mean to
me
Composed by Soror Syia Lewis, Lambda Tau Chapter
