MWR History Book Chapter Submission

Greetings Sorors:

The past few years we have lived “history in the making”. It is our goal to update our history by documenting the Mid-Western Region’s response to this time of challenge. This period of time could have resulted in our not providing any service at all, but Mid-Western stepped up and found a way to serve. In fact, the Region not only stayed engaged, we also once again led the way in several areas for Alpha Kappa Alpha to continue to move forward in service and sisterhood. The story deserves and needs to be documented and told. Our Regional Director, Soror Anika Wilson Starling, has authorized an update to our Region’s History.

The history will also update some events and members that may not have been included in previous editions of the history book. It is an honor and a privilege for me to be asked to do so. Assisting me in this project is Golden Soror Martha Carpenter, researcher extraordinaire. We are in the process of collecting data that captures how the Mid-Western Region responded to and rose above the storm created by the pandemic. Obviously, your help is both needed and desired in order to effectively do the job. Please help by supplying information from your chapter covering the years 2020 to the present. Graduate Advisors, you may need to help the undergraduates since those who were in the undergraduate chapters in 2020 are no longer there.

Sisterly,

Soror Delorise Gines

19th Mid-Western Regional Director
