Notes From The Basileus

Greetings Sorors, I trust that you are enjoying the March weather with the hints of Spring on the horizon. We are now off to our 2023 year, and I hope you have joined both a Standing and Program Committee. There is much work to do, and we have a place for everyone. As you know, we are at our best when we feel connected by sharing our time and talents. Please continue to remain in contact with your committee members and committee chairman.

A special thank you to Soror Terri Adams- Kincaid, Soror Katrina Hunt, Soror May Bogan and the Membership Committee for a wonderful Founders’ Day celebration. It was a great opportunity to pause and remember our founders of our illustrious and beloved sorority. We also had a chance to celebrate our Sorors who have achieved membership milestones: Pearl, Golden, and Silver Star Sorors.

Please join me in welcoming the following newly transferred/reactivated Sorors to Delta Upsilon Omega: Soror Cynthia Abram, Soror Aliyanda Harris Cobbinah, Soror Yolanda Heidelberg, Soror Ieisha Hawley, Soror Rella Jones, Soror Sonya Daniels Walker, Soror Aisha Watkins, Soror Makenzie Moss, Soror McKenzie Taylor, Soror Shakena McBride Moore and Soror Rachel Hughes. We are excited that you are a part of DUO!

If you are planning to attend the 94th FWR Conference, there is still time to register. Please note the March 17 Late Registration deadline. Register online at FWR Events - Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Inc. (aka1908.com). Don’t miss this opportunity of engaging workshops, memorable experiences, and sisterly bonding as we “Reign: The Dynasty of Service and Sisterhood”.

Lastly, I am looking forward to seeing you poised and pretty at our upcoming Chapter meeting where we will take our new Chapter photo with our brooches immediately following our Chapter meeting. Our March 11th Chapter meeting will be held 9:30 AM at:

Southside Church of Christ

12200 59th Avenue S

Sisterly with a smile,

Kristie C. Thompson
