Do not bring your Nothingness to AKA, Author Unknown
Will you be an active member? The kind that would be missed Or will you just be content That your name is on the list? Will you attend the meetings? And mingle with the flock Or will you just meet in private And criticize and "knock?" Will you take an active part? To help the work along Or will you be satisfied to be The kind that just belongs? Will you work on committees? To these it is no trick Or leave the work to just a few And talk about the clique? There's more to being an AKA than wearing pink and green, showing up in your letters, only trying to be seen Please come to meetings often And help with hand and true heart Don't just be a member, But one who takes an active part Think it over potential members You know what's right from wrong Will you be an active member? Or do you just want to belong?	"The Latest (AKA)" Frank Morrison

Just another Glance, by Soror Leslie Topps Epsilon Epsilon Chapter SP04
Everywhere I go I get looked up and down, because everybody knows that an AKA's around They see me wearing my green and pink, so they stop and stare, they don't know what to think They can tell from afar, that I'm the star, they know without a doubt just what I'm all about As I walk by, they just step out of the way, cause they need another glance at an AKA!

AKAtude, Soror Michelle Robinson
Conceited we're called Because we stand tall, Uppity we're deemed Due to our self-esteem "Our noses are always in the air" For looking downward we don't dare And continue with pride Realizing that if you're a lady You're automatically downgraded Sophistication and class is a plus Although others don't view it as much Their thoughts are so remote But when we were founded, Women couldn't vote Civil rights were a luxury In the early 20th century AKA was very political Although they laugh and act very cynical So remember the next time they jeer, You were the FIRST to be here Deleting all that was not good And replacing it with SISTERHOOD Setting a trend for all the rest Proving that they could be the very best. As ladies we must learn Nothing is given, all is earned With this in mind You'll ultimately find That it's a flair It's a mood, We Call it AKATUDE
