Why Do The Ladies of ';Alpha Kappa Alpha'; Shake their Hair? Is it just Snoodieness, or is there a deeper meanin?

I am looking at A.K.A. for grad chapter, per I have already graduated undergrad.





I have watched a lot of vids on youtube of AKA's in action and love to see them do what they do, I just wondered if all the head shaking had other significance...





I am wondering if there is life skills to be learned within the organization and ';doctrine'; (so to speak), that help elevated a woman's self-esteem!





Will the principles of A.K.A. help to change the thinking of the ladies they recruit? Please let me know your thoughts...Why Do The Ladies of ';Alpha Kappa Alpha'; Shake their Hair? Is it just Snoodieness, or is there a deeper meanin?
Your question is interesting, to say the least! Other than the fact that women of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Inc. have ALWAYS been known as the “pretty” girls who wear 20 pearls, when we shake our hair (and feign looking in a hand mirror), it’s just to demonstrate how pretty we are. There is no other significance. Ok…it’s all vanity. :-)





Our sisterhood does not strive to raise the self-esteem of it’s members, nor it’s perspective members, for that matter. We, through our programmatic focus, work toward that endeavor as we mentor young women (usually pre-teens and teenagers). The expectation of Alpha Kappa Alpha’s members is that perspective members are well-rounded, fully-assembled women who have something to offer toward the fruition of our goals.





But yes, we do offer seminars for the edification of our members’ financial, mental and physical well-being, as well as leadership development. These, however, were not designed to raise self-esteem, but make our members better able to SERVE our communities, raise our families, and care for ourselves. THERE ARE NO WEAK AKAs! Every member is richly BLESSED with knowledge, skills and abilities which have enabled the Sorority to be of service to all mankind for over 100 years!





Membership in Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Inc., will not change a perspective member’s thinking. It will, however, challenge one to think outside the box, think past themself and dig deep down to find better/creative, more efficient ways to promulgate the Sorority’s goals.
