Risky Business
Reputation and Brand – a visual reminder to our sorors and those we serve
l. Use the correct shield and official logos. Logos and official symbols and trademarks
should not be:
Printed, sewn onto or drawn on any item, piece of clothing or paraphernalia that is
derogatory or degrades the history and legacy of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority,
Incorporated®, its founders or its members.
Changed, modified or embellished for promotional, advertising or personal use.
Worn on or near the buttocks or other inappropriate areas of the body.
Tattooed on any area of the body.
Used by vendors without written permission by the Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Incorporated® Corporate Office.
Rearranged, redrawn or elements of the logo rescaled.
2. How to spot a fake.
Are the symbols in the right place?
Are the Greek letters/font correct? (font is Georgia)
Is the federal registration symbol present?
3. Share photos of members engaged in service activities and scholarly pursuits
4. Focus on sorority values
5. Think before posting information and photographs on social media
6. Protect your privacy
