Kamala Harris, an initiate of the Alpha Chapter of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Inc., is the first female to serve as the United States Vice President. She is also the first sorority woman as well as the first Black woman, the first South Asian woman and the first National Pan-Hellenic Council woman elected. Congratulations, Vice President Harris! (And a hearty congratulations to fellow Syracuse alum President Biden who earned his law degree there.)
Women across the country are wearing pearls in honor of this historic occasion. Some are wearing pink and pearls, some Chucks sneakers and pearls. Virtual celebrations will be many.
The post about Fraternity Men Who Have Served as U.S. Vice Presidents has a new title and I hope the list of sorority women on it will continue to grow in the future.
The post Female U.S. Senators and Their Sorority Affiliation – 2021 Edition has been updated. The House of Representatives post is currently being revised and will be back up soon. I’d forgotten about that post and it was woefully out of date.
