I am a Christian. Meaning, I believe that Jesus died for my sins and rose again on the third day and is seated on the right hand of the father until he returns for final judgment. I am also a financial and active member of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Incorporated.......... With that being said Alpha Kappa Alpha is not against the bible nor do we use idolatry in our rituals. I hope that answers your question.
SEE: In Search of Sisterhood: Delta Sigma Theta and the Challenge of the Black Sorority Movement, by Paula J. GiddingsThis can be traced back to the year 1912 at Howard University. The 22 members of the Alpha Chapter of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority decided they wanted to change the direction of the organization. After splitting into committees and formulating reports on the idea at hand, they unanimously decided to change the name, colors, motto, creed, the shield, and the organization of Alpha Kappa Alpha. A graduate member (Nellie Quander) objected to idea at the finalizing meeting, and rallied enough support from other graduate members in the area and together they shot down the idea. The 22 members persistent in their cause were denounced of their membership in Alpha Kappa Alpha. They reorganzied under their own sorority known as Delta Sigma Theta. Thus the 22 founders of DST were in fact members of AKA. Thus from this the famous rivalry was started. *HINT: Delta (means change)
the hand gesture is a torch.

Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Inc. was founded in 1908. Women in this sisterhood go through an initiation period where history, traditions, and rites are learned. If there is a special handshake, it is not shared with the general public.
The secret handshake is...you spit in your right hand...then slap yourself really hard. Then spit in your left hand, then slap the heck out of your momma really hard. Then you say the secret phase, "I'm a stupid idiot". Now your made...go try it out on every member of Kappa Alpha Psi that you know.
This is private information known only to the brothers of the fraternity.
An alpha character is any letter from A-Z and a-z. Alpha numeric on the other hand is all letters and numbers, but neither allow other characters such as !@#$%^&*() etc.
