ALPHA KAPPA ALPHA
Miss Bold Black is one of the members
Alpha Kappa Alpha is the world's oldest college-based sorority founded by Negro women. The Beta Nu chapter at KSC experienced a year packed with honors and awards. AKA Darlene Diggs was chosen as Miss Bold Black and Brenda Wright was elected President of the Panhellenic Council. The sisterhood held a Homecoming party and their annual Black and White Ball. At both Thanksgiving and Christmas, the organization distributed baskets of food to needy families. The members of Alpha Kappa Alpha also played an active role in promoting the black students at Kansas State College.
