ALPHA KAPPA ALPHA sponsors skating parties
Alpha Kappa Alpha is the world's oldest college-based sorority founded by Negro women. The Beta Nu chapter at Kansas State College has always played an active role in promoting the black students. This year the sorority continued their history of promoting the college community by sponsoring various cultural, social and educational programs including a fashion show, numerous parties for the entire college community and the organizing of black heritage seminars. The Alphas also held several skating parties which became a growing success.
