More than 1,000 AKA sorority sisters volunteer in Baltimore

The service organization celebrates 105th anniversary with efforts throughout city

Sorority sisters from Alpha Kappa Alpha are in Baltimore for the weekend to perform more than a dozen service projects throughout the city. For its 105th anniversary and yearly founders' day celebration, organizers said the sorority chose Baltimore because of its historical significance in African-American history, including being the birthplace of the late Thurgood Marshall, the first black Supreme Court justice. Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake is also a member of the sorority.
