XIII JUNE t<jrq No.6 EDITORIALS SUPERIOR :\DVA:N'l'AGES OF11ERBD BY HOWARD. 'l'Jus is the season or the )'ear when tbc a,piri11g Negro youth raises the ,1ucry, ''What college shall 1 attend next year?" Friends vohmtccr opinions as plentiful aml varied as the interpretations of a masterpiece of literature. Every man, in fact, points to his own college, with the su1)1)ressed optimistic rellection.-·'Set what a great man it made of me!" Perhaps it is but natural that every mau should be somewhat dogmatic about his own college; £or he knows that one college i11ti• 111ately, and is virtually ignorant of alt others. 'l'he pros1,ccth-c college student, therefore, cannot depend wholly upon such prejudicial advice. At least three funda. mental qualities of an institution ought to l)e considered beiorc a choice is made: first, the institution's rcvutation for high S;tandards: second, its facilitie~ for main­ taining high standards; third, its means of encouraging initiative in its students. Tn these three essentials, Howard offers superior advamagcs to Negro st11cle111s. Realizi11g that the chief responsihilitr for the Negro's college, university, and 11rofc$sional training must be borne by the colored institutions, aud, further, that hardly more tllan three large ~olored in,titutions of really unh·ersity rank can be maintained, Howard University has diminated her secondary departments ancl raised her standards to compare most favorably with those of the best institution,. With the exception of two or three consen·ative colleges, no :\meric.in college has c.tricter requirements for admission than Howard. 111 fact, many of the re1mtabk colleges allow considerably more latitude than Howard. 'l'hc r,iquiremeuts for the Bachelor's Degree and the general character of the curriculum ,how Howard to be modern, progr<:s~ive, and rcpresentati\·c. Howard, moreover, maintain:, a well-traine<l faculty of suOkie.nt size to givet adcq,1ately the courses offered. Alread)·, men of recognized scholarly attiinmcnts have been attracted to the University, and others arc lo follow. The policy of the University is to attl'act as mauy ,cholars as available funds will permit. High standards, therefore, are maintained hy men of broad university training. 'l'hc federal appropriations, though not sufficiently large to support the Universit)'. help to give Howard an obvious advantage in attracting the best colored talent. Graduates of the college are accepted for gradual~ work in all the larger institu­ tions. Ho\\'ard is the only colored institution from which graduates are now acce)lled at Harv:trd for advanced degrees. (n addition to Howard's high stand;irds and her facilities for maintaining such standards, means of fostering initiative in the students arc nunicrbus. 'I'hc student bodv numbers over l,SOO. Student organizations are open to all alike. If a student 0 has 1he germ of leadership, he has e,,ery opportunity aud encouragement to devdo1> it. For example, he has a chance to lead one of the numerous teams, or to be president of one of the numerous $0<:ieties, or become manager of one of the dubs. There is every outlet for his talent. The policy of the University is to encourage the kind of freedom that is conducive to manly development. Fraterni• ties, therefore, are nol discouraged at Howard, but rather encouraged; for thus Published by Digital Howard @ Howard University, 1919 5 The Howard University Record, Vol. 13 [1919], Iss. 6, Art. 1 266 H OWARD UNIVERSITY RECORD far they have proved their worth by helping to solve the home-Ii fe probl:m,.

Furthermore, \Vashington is a veritable unive,·sity cHy, with a<lvantagcs 1111- surpassed by those of any other city in the land. The Library of Congress, the Smithsonian Institution, the Bureau of Education, the Corcoran A rt Gallery. the Army Medical Museum, the Naval Observatory, and a number· of other buildings of educational importance, may be visited freely; and facilities for research in any one are made accessible to Howard students. Then, too, 011 the floors of the Senate and the House of Representatives, leaders in national thought and state,;manship may be heard on vital questions.

    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.

  • 1908 – 1933 Year Month/Day Occurrence
    1908 – 1933 Year Month/Day Occurrence 1908 January 15 First meeting of the Sorority takes place. It is given a name – Alpha Kappa Alpha – and a motto, “By Culture and By Merit.” The colors, apple green and salmon pink, are chosen. February Seven sophomores are invited to join the Sorority. Alpha Kappa Alpha now has 16 members, who will come to be known as the Founders. 1908- Alpha Kappa Alpha (Alpha Chapter) exists solely on the Howard University campus and experiences 1913 steady growth. 1909 February 11 In Miner Hall, Alpha Kappa Alpha’s first ritualistic initiation is held. The new members are Ella Albert Brown, Mary Clifford, Lena Jenkins, Mable Gibson, Ruth Gilbert and Nellie Pratt Russell. February Following concern over American race relations, which was heightened by the 1908 Illinois race riots, Black and white progressives and intellectuals convene in New York City to discuss the issue, resulting in formation of the NAACP. 1910 September The National Urban League is formed in New York City, born of a merger of the National League for the Protection of Colored Women, National League on Urban Conditions Among Negroes and the Niagara Movement. 1911 Spring Norma Boyd becomes the first to serve 2 terms as Alpha Chapter Basileus. 1912 Autumn Some members of the Sorority attempt to change its name, colors and motto. Nellie Quander, believing that these traditions were essential to the long-term success of the organization, contacts every active member and wins almost unanimous support. The disgruntled members go on to found Delta Sigma Theta Sorority. 1913 January 29 Alpha Kappa Alpha is legally incorporated in Washington DC.
