MAR Celebrates 100 Years of Service

By KaRonda Fleming

Laurinburg, N.C. - The 2008 Eastern Carolina Cluster was hosted by the Rho Alpha Omega Chapter of Laurinburg on September 13. With a total of 19 chapters present, nearly 200 ladies of Alpha Kappa Alpha celebrated their 100 years of service.


During cluster, several workshops such as the Code of Ethics, Standards, Financial Procedures, Parliamentary Procedures, and Protocol were discussed.


Musical entertainment was provided by saxophonist, Mr. Carl Sinkler, as he played several tunes during lunch. Also, a female trio sang a capella and a young sixth grader captured a standing ovation after she sang her song.


Vendors sold paraphernalia throughout the day and each registrant posed for the cluster’s group photo that will be submitted to the next issue of the Ivy Leaf Magazine.


Attending cluster is a great experience for new and seasoned members of Alpha Kappa Alpha. Not only do they get to meet other members from nearby chapters, but they also get a chance to learn the newly updated material that affects each member of the Sorority.
