Message from the SECOND SUPREME ANTI-BASILEUS
Greetings , Sorors !
All I can say is WOW ... the 2020-2021 school year was one for the history books !
Hundreds of thousands of students in grades k-12 , stayed at home and took classes virtually while others went to classes masked up to protect themselves from COVID-19 . Some were able to thrive while others had to adapt to learning from their homes . Any way you look at it , the educational experience was not ideal but it was necessary to continue moving forward in our society .

Alpha Kappa Alpha undergraduate sorors were at the forefront of excellence as they continued to R . E . A . C . H . their goals during the academic school year . They stayed busy by executing programs during SkeeWeek , attended virtual regional conferences , took tests , did their homework , and participated in study groups to remain on track . Those who were at the end of their college journey were invited to be a part of a 2021 Commencement Ceremony led by Madam Supreme , yours truly , and members of the Undergraduate Activities Committee .
As a member of the Class of 2021 , I know firsthand about the challenges and obstacles we ' ve overcome . So whether your graduation was in person or virtual , it does not take away from the amazing accomplishments you ' ve achieved over the last four years . As we transition into our post graduate lives , remember Alpha Kappa Alpha is always here to support you . With a network of more than 300,000 members , there ' s a soror in pink and green you can call on . It might be at your new job , new apartment building , or your new graduate chapter ! We know you will do great things and be a reflection of the light that our Founders held so close to their hearts .
To top off the celebration , each graduate who participated in the 2021 Commencement Ceremony received a beautiful commemorative gift to mark the occasion in the mail from the Ivy Box . The pink and green keepsake box included a congratulatory card penned by me and both Undergraduate Members-at-Large . Inside was a silver bracelet with gems featuring our sorority colors . We certainly hope it will be loved and cherished for many years to come . Congratulations to the class of 2021 and good luck to all of Alpha Kappa Alpha ’ s remaining undergraduates !
Sisterly ,
Soror Jasmyne E . McC oy
