Did you know that #alphakappaalphasororityincorporated 🩷💚 had not only a special place in our 🩷s for our moms but in our #sorority as well? They were called the Las Madrinas Las Madrinas was an auxiliary or friends’ club that both supported and extended Alpha Kappa Alpha’s presence in Los Angeles. It provided a structured space where Black women could cultivate leadership, host refined social events, honor each other’s achievements, organize charitable work, and deepen ties with the sorority’s local chapter. The continuity from the 1937 conference mention through the busy calendar of 1953–1954 suggests that Las Madrinas functioned over decades as part of the Far Western AKA ecosystem, embodying the blend of service, culture, and sociability characteristic of mid‑twentieth‑century Black sorority community life. #alphakappaalphasororityinc #moms #AKA - @deniseverdant
