I didn't know Marla Gibbs is an honorary AKA. I love her. She's adorable.

I learned something new today. Wanda Sykes is an AKA.

Sykes pledged at my alma mater, they had an article in our alumni magazine a few years ago.

Soror Sykes' nephew went to undergrad with me..and he's an Alpha. Small world!

[WenD08]

they missed Soror Mae Faggs Starr, the first US female to participate in 3 Olympics (1948, 1952, 1956). Soror Starr won a gold and a bronze medal. she ran alongside Wilma Rudolph at Tennessee State University and was an alum of the Alpha Psi chapter.
big omission, to me, and i'm biased. she was one of my HS teachers.
RIP, Ms. Starr.

That's why I don't put too much stock into Wiki. As you pointed out Sorors were omitted; while some ladies have been listed as members, but actually are not.

BTW, Wanda Sykes was on JLeno last night. I've seen her name hyphenated. I wonder if she remarried.

Isn't it up to AKAs/the sources the site cites to keep that site credible?

Another Soror sent me this link earlier in the week... I sat and read the WHOLE thing!

I've been having a debate with several Sorors as to whether or not Jill Marie Jones (Tony from "Girlfriends") is a Soror. I know she went to undergrad at Texas Women's University (she's a Native Texan)... some people said that she's a Soror, some people said she's not but that she's an AAI??? According to Wiki she is but I know that it's not all that reliable!?

Thanks Soror! I knew somebody had to know!
