A lbha Kappa Alpha Sorority Expands In Detroit
Beta Mu Chapter
Recently Organized

Friday night, April 3, 1886, will
always be remembered as a me-
morable occasion in the history of
the Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority,
in Detroit, for at that time, Beta
Mu Chapter, of Wayne University,
was organized.
In celebration of the event, AL
pha Rho Omega and Xxi, the De-
troit chapters; with Beta Eta, OF
the University of Michigan, met
for initiation, in the Lucy Thurman
Y. w. c. A., after which the men,
bers of the newly-organized chap
ter were royalty entertained at a
banquet in the club rooms.
The occasion was all the more
inspiring, because of the Great
Lakes Regional Director, Mrs. Beu-
lah T. Whitby, who extended a
warm and hearty greeting to the
new sorors.
The only decorations used at the
banquet table, around which seven
ty-five sorors were gathered, was a
huge centerpiece of pink snap
dragons.
With the announcement by the
director, of the theme of the an
nual Regional Conference, the
trend of the conversation at the
table was naturally toward Cleve-
land. Many had already made plans
to attend the convention. Official

own candidates for public office;
although some members of the race
voted for John Anger, incumbent
city trasure, who has consistently
refrained from placing a Negro in
his office.
In the last primary election,
over 1900 Negro voters cast their
ballots in Hamtramck; yet, James
S. Register, candidate for the com
mon council, received only 624
votes, which means that nearly 600
voters didn't vote for their own
candidate. How can we expect the
! support of members Of the other
race, if wo do not support our
own; we must first demonstrate
to the other group, by the nomina-
ton of our own candidate, that we
are united; and then we will be
able to ask for their support.
This is a Challenge to the older
people; to the fathers and mothers
who are interested in the advance
ment of their sons or daughters.
Do you wish them to travel the
same successful road open to their
classmates of the other race; or do
you wish them to turn out to be
boms and a discredit to you? You
can only show feelings by united
action in the future-by uniting
behind the race projects and put
ting them over.
Our proposal is to first organize
committee to be known as "The
Self-Respecting Committee" This
group will formulate plans which
will furthur interest members of
the race in the social and political
problems of the city. If you are
interested in your own respect and
the respect Of your race you will

bune, your fighting voice, for fur

campaign.

delegates to the confab include
Mrs. LaClaire Knox, representing
Alpha Rho Omega; and Mrs. Angel
Lambert, of Xxi Chapter.
The theme of the conference,
as announced by Soror Whitby, is
THE Future of Alpha Kappa AL
pha."
From the enthusiasm with which
the new sorors greeted the an
nouncement of the time and place,
the meeting will be we'll attended
by Detroiters.
The new chapter, Beta Mu, elect
ed the following officers: Pauline
Cain, basileus; Marie Hardeman
