I wonder what AKA intentions were (maybe because she’s light-skinned with long hair, how superficial) But congratulations to her, if she’s happy I’m happy for her <img src='http://www.aliciakeysfan.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':-)' class='wp-smiley' /></p> </li> <li class="" id="comment-30282"> <cite>cece</cite> Says: <br /> <small class="commentmetadata"><a href="#comment-30282" title="">February 1st, 2008 at 10:11 am</a> </small> <p>skee-wee all day baby congrats gurl</p> </li> <li class="alt" id="comment-30306"> <cite><a href='http://stl_nene@bebo.com' rel='external nofollow'>NENE</a></cite> Says: <br /> <small class="commentmetadata"><a href="#comment-30306" title="">February 11th, 2008 at 11:35 pm</a> </small> <p>i am happy for you alica you is one o the people i look up to in life i was so happy when i found out that you was a AKA……congrats</p> </li> <li class="" id="comment-30351"> <cite>Mollisa</cite> Says: <br /> <small class="commentmetadata"><a href="#comment-30351" title="">February 27th, 2008 at 1:49 pm</a> </small> <p>I am happy for Alicia Keys I am not in a soroity but I know that being an AKA is not all about looks and being light-skinned it is about leadership,community service and scholarship.

Skeeeee-wee Soror Alicia Keys.</p> </li> <li class="" id="comment-30772"> <cite>Big Brother JustIce</cite> Says: <br /> <small class="commentmetadata"><a href="#comment-30772" title="">July 21st, 2008 at 1:27 pm</a> </small> <p>To my Alpha brothers, I am a LIFE member, Old School pledged, and 20 year active member of Alpha Phi Alpha, Fraternity Inc. Yes, AKAs are our traditional “sisters”, and I shout them out, but don’t get it twisted, real men don’t have “sorors”. And please know your Greek History before you speak: AKAs, Deltas and Ques DO hand out Honorary membership to celebrities as a means to get some shine. It is a highly superficial marketing tool that needs to be abolished. So many truly desrving people are ignored while actors “hot” at that moment are waltzed in. Alphas ceased this practice in the late 60’s, but even prior to then, we only gave the letters to a handful of folks (most notably, Duke Ellington never went to college, Fredrick Douglas who died before 1906, and former VP Hubert Humphrey…yes we have a VP, but it was a scandoulus decision that led to us stopping the Honorary thing). </p> <p>Making Honorary greeks out of celebrities is disgraceful, and is counterintuitive to the notion that greekdom is an elevated place steeped in academia (with elevated responsibilities to give back). now all you have to do is be a “star” and wht Ques, Deltas or AKAs are all too happy to borrow your hype. </p> <p>I have nothing against Alicia Keys. But Alicia, Jada and a lot of others should at least be required to hold a bachelors degree before being inducted, just as any other grad chapter inductee would have to be. I was equally appalled when the Delta’s offered membership to Halle Berry, but she cancelled at the last minute.</p> </li> <li class="alt" id="comment-30872"> <cite>Heather</cite> Says: <br /> <small class="commentmetadata"><a href="#comment-30872" title="">September 6th, 2008 at 1:49 pm</a> </small> <p>I agree with Big Brother Justice. Our founders did not go through the struggle just to have a famous actress or musician be handed letters. If you can take a role as a teacher or college grad in a movie, then play the role in real life. Do it right! Get your degree. It will feel a whole lot better when you actually go through the invite process and then the coming out. Afterall, didn’t the original ladies do it. P.S. I’m no hater on Alicia nor Jada, but is this what real sisterhood is about.Giving just to be noticed. I applaud the Alpha’s for abolishing the practice of Honorary Memembership.</p> </li> </ol> <h3 id="respond">Leave a Reply</h3> <form action="http://www.aliciakeysfan.com/wp-comments-post.php" method="post" name="commentform" id="commentform"> <p><input type="text" name="author" id="author" value="" size="22" tabindex="1" /> <label for="author"><small>Name (required)</small></label></p> <p><input type="text" name="email" id="email" value="" size="22" tabindex="2" /> <label for="email"><small>Mail (will not be published) (required)</small></label></p> <p><input type="text" name="url" id="url" value="" size="22" tabindex="3" /> <label for="url"><small>Website</small></label></p>  <p><textarea name="comment" id="comment" cols="50px" rows="10" tabindex="4"></textarea> </p> <p><input name="submit" type="submit" id="submit" tabindex="5" value="Submit Comment" /> <input type="hidden" name="comment_post_ID" value="407" /> </p> </form> </span></td> </tr> </table> <span class="maintxt"> <br /> </span> </td> </tr> <tr> <td><img src="http://www.aliciakeysfan.com/bg-bottom.jpg" alt="Bottom Bar" width="475" height="22" /></td> </tr> </table></td> <td width="5"> </td> <td width="232" valign="top"><span name="KonaFilter"><table width="232" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0"> <tr> <td height="22" background="http://www.aliciakeysfan.com/navbar.jpg"><h1>Alicia Keys </h1></td> </tr> <tr> <td bgcolor="#f1f1f1" class="maintxt">Welcome to <strong>Alicia Keys</strong> Fan !<br /> Here you will find all the latest news, pictures, information and all about Alicia.
