June 25, 2022 Pearls of Alpha 121 Oakleigh Dr. Batesville, MS 38606 Greetings to the Pearls of Alpha, As the South Eastern Regional Director, it is my sincere pleasure to congratulate you on this amazing moment in the history of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Incorporated®. Your hard work has culminated with the chartering of a new chapter in the South Eastern Region. You have remained engaged, enlightened and energized as you exemplified excellence in completing workshops and providing service to your community. Your persistence and dedication were evident, even during a global pandemic. I commend each of you on the leadership you have demonstrated, the compassion you have shown, and the enthusiasm with which you met your goal of establishing a new chapter. I applaud your efforts to make an impact in your community and know that you will continue to do so.

As we move beyond the chartering ceremony, I challenge you to keep momentum high and continue to push forward with vigor and determination to uphold the sorority’s mission to be of “service to all mankind”. I encourage you to take your service higher, addressing the needs of others, not just locally but globally as well. As we continue to celebrate the perpetuity of Alpha Kappa Alpha, we are blessed to add one more jewel to the crown of sisterhood and service in Batesville, MS. Today, you have so much to celebrate – your bond of sisterhood, the impact that you have made and will continue to make in your community, and your established place in the South Eastern Region. On behalf of the over 12,000 members of the states of Alabama, Mississippi and Tennessee, I am delighted to welcome you to the Sophisticated South Eastern Region with open arms. Again, congratulations on this historic milestone!

In Sisterhood and Service,

Mitzi Dease Paige South Eastern Regional Director
