Epsilon Epsilon Omega Chapter Leola Davis Becoming an educator was a natural career choice for me. Family, church involvement, and mentoring from pre-college teachers directed me to become a teacher. Three of my older siblings were educators. When I was in the fourth grade, one of my older brothers was the fifth grade teacher next door. I was a constant helper for teachers throughout the building; I graded papers, put up bulletin boards, and tutored other students. During the summers, the minister at my church, who also was one of my teachers, chose me to be one of the youth dele- gates at Leadership Training School. I experienced a week away from home, on a college campus, three sum- mers before high school graduation. I applied my learned skills to helping others, especially my younger nieces and nephews whom I experienced daily contact with. After graduating from Lane College with a degree in Elementary Education, I accepted a teaching job with Danville School District #118, where I was employed for forty years. strong black women. Post college years, I became a member of Epsilon Epsilon Omega chapter. In the chapter, I have been the Ivy Leaf Reporter, Hostess, My Master degrees were acquired from Eastern Illinois Chairman of the Sisterly Relation committee, and a University.

THE SALAD BOWL The Salad Bowl began in 1966, as one of our Chapter’s smaller fundraisers. Sorors made the salads and this dressy affair was designed to be an annual summer community-social activity. For over fifteen years, on the second Sunday afternoon in July, it was held on the front lawn of Soror Maudie Edward’s home. Pink tablecloths covered each table, with a large AKA umbrella hoisted over the center table. People in the community looked forward to and enjoyed the annual summer- time event. Many Alpha Kappa Alpha women attending summer school at the University of Illinois were guests. It was expanded to include a fashion show, with clothing donated by local stores, personal wardrobes and Mrs. Lucy Jess Gray, a collector of antique clothing.

  • I IMPACT of MEMBERSHIP in BLACK GREEK LETTER
    IMPACT OF MEMBERSHIP IN BLACK GREEK LETTER ORGANIZATIONS ON STUDENT LEARNING OUTCOMES By Reginald C. Cooper, Jr. Hinsdale Bernard David W. Rausch Professor Professor (Chair) (Committee Member) Deanna Anderson Brian J. O’Leary Assistant Vice Chancellor Associate Professor (Committee Member) (Committee Member) i IMPACT OF MEMBERSHIP IN BLACK GREEK LETTER ORGANIZATIONS ON STUDENT LEARNING OUTCOMES By Reginald C. Cooper, Jr. A Dissertation Submitted to the Faculty of The University of Tennessee at Chattanooga in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements of the Degree of Doctor of Education The University of Tennessee at Chattanooga Chattanooga, Tennessee August 2018 ii Copyright © 2018 By Reginald C. Cooper, Jr. All Rights Reserved iii ABSTRACT This study examined the perceived relevance of Black Greek Letter Organizations (BGLOs) through the perspectives of undergraduate student populations at four target universities located in the State of Tennessee. This study also compared student learning outcomes of Black students who were members of BGLOs against Black students who did not belong to BGLOs Three research questions were addressed: (1) Is there a significant difference in the self- reported GPAs of Black students who are members of BGLOs versus those who are not members of BGLOs? (2) Is there a significant difference in student perceptions of the relevance of BGLOs based on campus location, GPA category, class standing, ethnicity, status, gender, Greek affiliation, and type of institution (i.e., historically Black colleges and universities (HBCUs) or predominantly White institutions (PWIs)? (3) For those students who are members of a fraternity or sorority, is there a significant difference in their perceptions of the relevance of BGLOs based on the organization’s governing council? A researcher-developed instrument was used to measure student perceptions on five scales.

Span, Chair Professor James D. Anderson Associate Professor Yoon K. Pak Associate Professor Linda M. Perkins, Claremont Graduate University ii Abstract The period known as the “nadir” of the African American experience—roughly between 1880 and 1920—happens to coincide with the matriculation of the first African American students at the predominantly white University of Illinois at Urbana- Champaign (U of I). Most research conducted on the African American student experience at the U of I focuses on the Civil Rights-Black Power years, but few studies have examined the experiences of the earliest students—specifically African American women students—during the early twentieth century. These women created and sustained their own organizations—Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Inc., Gamma Chapter, and later, Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc., Alpha Nu Chapter—to address the educational, social, and cultural needs of African American women students on campus. In conjunction with African American male students, they established a Negro Intelligentsia lecture series, along with an African American student magazine, The College Dreamer, to promote African American culture on campus and to showcase the intellectual achievements of African American students across the country.

Harris On Her Historic Election! 4 Dr. Glenda Glover SUPREME BASILEUS January 15, 2021 Dear Sorors: I am simply delighted to convene this national commemoration as we celebrate our 113th Founders’ Day. Today, we celebrate the courageous vision of Ethel Hedgeman Lyle, the unflinching determination of Nellie Quander and the shared purpose of other like-minded women who blazed a trail where none existed. Today, we also celebrate the dawning of a new day in the history of this nation as one of our very own, Soror Kamala D. Harris, will ascend to the pinnacle of our democracy. Today, we marvel at the arc of history of our beloved sisterhood culminating in the realization of our Founders’ greatest aspirations. It is daylight for us in America. Alpha Kappa Alpha has helped to usher in this new day, this new light, this new season. With the commitment of our Founders as our compass, our sisterhood fought for freedom and equality for Black women as we struggled to expand our democracy to include the entire framework of the first three words of our Constitution, “We the People.” Alpha Kappa Alpha’s robust history is replete with instances where we stood up for justice and equality. The role of extraordinary Alpha Kappa Alpha women who have made indispensable contributions is too numerous to call.
