Phenomenal
Woman Pretty women wonder where my secret lies. I'm not cute or built to suit a fashion model's size But when I start to tell them, They think I'm telling lies. I say, It's in the reach of my arms The span of my hips, The stride of my step, The curl of my lips. I'm a woman Phenomenally. Phenomenal woman, That's me. I walk into a room Just as cool as you please, And to a man, The fellows stand or Fall down on their knees. Then they swarm around me, A hive of honey bees. I say, It's the fire in my eyes, And the flash of my teeth, The swing in my waist, And the joy in my feet. I'm a woman Phenomenally. Phenomenal woman, That's me. Men themselves have wondered What they see in me. They try so much But they can't touch My inner mystery. When I try to show them They say they still can't see. I say, It's the arch of my back, The sun of my smile, The ride of my breasts, The grace of my style. I'm a woman Phenomenally. Phenomenal woman, That's me. Now you understand Just why my head's not bowed. I don't shout or jump about Or have to talk real loud. When you see me passing It ought to make you proud. I say, It's in the click of my heels, The bend of my hair, the palm of my hand, The need of my care. 'Cause I'm a woman Phenomenally. Phenomenal woman, That’s me. By Soror Maya Angelou |

"My Sister, My Friend"
She held my hand- |
UnbreAKAble is how God
created me to be, Only by His divine will, nothing can destroy me I was placed into the first and finest sorority In order to fulfill my duties and enter my destiny See everyone cannot be chosen to be in this class And in order to make it here, it starts from your past You have to understand that dedication comes from within And if you don’t have it, then you will never fit it Now the path to this glorious place is long and hard People may underestimate you, but your soul is never scarred You have to be patient and wait for the right time Because if you try to soon, you can lose your place in line UnbreAKAble is the type of woman I am To be in my shoes you have to cross the burning sands Acknowledging all of those who came before you And understanding what our founders wanted to do See many want to be in this place of sisterhood, But rarely can the stand in place to be understood They talk a good game to get in the door But as soon as they get there hearts hit the floor Others will despise you and don’t want you to succeed, They try to under mind you and the foundation of the sorority They will call you names and try to bring you down Smiling in your face and leaving with a frown UnbreAKAble is what I’ve chosen to be, Because respect comes a mile away in this sorority You have to walk, talk, and think with pride Because the steps of an AKA are harder with each stride So UnbreAKAble is what we stand for Anything less is unacceptable The ladies you see with ZM on their chest Will always be remember and respected as the best. by Soror Natalie Freeman |
To be one…is to
know what AKA is all about It’s not about the salmon pink and apple green, Nor about the pretty stance or the pinky thing It’s not about the party walks and the way we dance, Nor about the way we fix our hair and the way we prance It’s not about how we look each day Nor about who has what to say It’s not about if we like someone or not Nor about what new outfit is whack and which is hot It’s not about being pretty in pink or gorgeous in green, Nor about how stuck up you think we can be It’s not about being able to Skee-Wee Nor about which frat is looking at me… But it is about service to all mankind, And the dedication we have is for a lifetime It’s about respecting one another for how God created us to be And about commitment in this finest sorority It’s about understanding where we all come from and where we are going, And about acknowledging one another on this life filled journey It’s about sisterhood and friendships, And about meeting new people to build perfect relationships It’s about working together for a divine purpose, And knowing how to handle tough situations when they surface It’s about being confident and knowing what to say, And about understanding there is no other way To be one…. is to know and respect ANY lady of AKA by Soror Natalie Freeman |
