Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority earns highest GPA
January 25, 2005
CARROLLTON, GA - The Kappa Tau Chapter of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Inc. at the University of West Georgia earned the highest grade point average for Fall Semester 2004 within the National Pan Hellenic Council sororities and fraternities with chapters at UWG.
Sorority member Taniesha Snell said Alpha Kappa Alpha is a sisterhood composed of women who have consciously chosen this affiliation as a means of self-fulfillment through volunteer service.
Alpha Kappa Alpha cultivates and encourages high scholastic and ethical standards; promotes unity and friendship among college women, alleviates problems concerning girls and women; maintains a progressive interest in college life; and serves all mankind through a nucleus of more than 170,000 women in the United States, the Caribbean, Europe and Africa.
As part of the sorority’s commitment to service, the chapter will host its annual Black Man Appreciation Awards on February 24 as part of Black History Month to honor African American males who perform acts of service on campus.
A weeklong event of community service projects sponsored by Alpha Kappa Alpha at UWG is Skee Week scheduled for March 6-12. Projects include reading to elementary school children, conducting a health fair on campus and hosting a dance.
