Read what u first posted...u said ur desire is to become an AKA. You should change that.

Im not sure i understand why she should change it, do YOU kno who she is, or what she looks like, or wat school she goes to? she isbasically anonymous right now... but hun, bak to ur question, that is a stereotype and i have seen big small light and dark skinned AKA's...and even if it were true nobody would come online and admit that....lets do some thinking sweetie....if u truly want to become an AKA one day, i suggest u do real research and keep ur eyes and ears open....do not listen to everything people say

ladyshaw, Historically there have long been stories of paper-bag tests within several organizations. This no longer continues, in tradition or practice. I hope this answered your question.

To touch on what everyone else has said...it may have been a thing to do before, but chances are, I doubt if you have what it takes to be in whatever organization you want to be in, they will determine the last call with a lunchbag. And If they do, then it's probably not worth your time in the number one. Also, to throw in, my best friend's cousin is an AKA @ a school in Raleigh and she and three of her sorors are very much darkskinned. And not legacy.

Is it tru that the AKAs discriminate on darksin women and if you pledge you have to pass a brown paper bag test. I am asking because i am darkskin,and i don't know why,but my desire has always been to pledge to become an AKA.If someone could get back to me asap,i would greatly appreciate it.

:roll: Any conference I've gone to for my sorority, the vast majority of new and seasoned (older) Sorors in attendance are dark skinned women. This is a stereotype at its worst. 90% of my LSs are dark skinned beauties so no this is not true. Hell if it were then it would've ruled out at least 50% of our members and four of our founders :lol: Don't believe the hype!
