Children's Day
Every year we work on having
a day for children to be able to learn more about African arts, crafts,
books, videos and food. Along with that, the children are able to
be involved in a diverse environment with children of all races along
with parents in a fun filled but educational day. This years
dedication is reading to groups of children once a month at local
bookstores. Each month we will focus on a different theme that
will involve the children and have them learn and have a good time.

International Support
The Ladies of the Sigma Delta Chapter
of Alpha Kappa
Alpha Sorority, Inc. are implementing the idea of small changes and big
differences. The Foci of the organization is one including a
national and international service to mankind. With this in mind,
the women of both campuses are supporting the new program idea "Sponsor
a Child, Tell a Friend!" With this in mind we
researched many sponsorship programs and found one that was with in the
financial means of College students. We chose the Children
International program; a nonprofit, worldwide humanitarian
organization since 1936. The program helps children from the
countries of, Chile, Columbia, The Dominican Republic, Ecuador,
Guatemala, Honduras, India, the Philippines and the United States.
This program addresses the basic necessities needed including; health
exams, vaccinations, schools supplies, uniforms and many other things.
With a donation of 12 dollars a month people are able to help a child in
need.
This program is not associated with Alpha Kappa
Alpha Sorority, Inc or the women of Sigma Delta Chapter. The women of this campus chose this program to sponsor a
child and begin to tell family and friends in the hopes that every
person they tell, one of them will sponsor a child and tell a friend
about it, with this small ripple the Sigma Delta women introduced we hope will turn into a tidal wave of people helping other
people.

Fashion
Show 
In remembrance of Black History Month, Alpha
Kappa Alpha has its annual Fashion Show promoting African pride and
dignity as the students on campus model African traditional clothing to
the latest fashions. Along with this program it is a chance for
students to come together as a community involving poetry, singing and
dancing. The program has around 35 models and audience of over
200 people. The show also helps with collecting of personal
hygiene items that are donated at the door. This year the
donations were taken to Looking Glass administration office to be
separated into there different programs for homeless youth or people in
need. The items included shampoo, toothpaste, soap and many other
items.

"On Track Mentoring
Program"
We are in the beginnings of developing a
mentoring program in the community involving minority children in the
community area. With the help of the Girls scouts of America,
we are going to be trained in a workshop
on the proper ways to address children as a mentor, positive
reinforcements and how to create a relationship with a child as a
positive role model and friend. With this certification the women
of the organization will begin to develop on the foci of Alpha Kappa
Alpha Sorority, Inc. "On Track Program" The Women of the
Undergraduate Association for University of Oregon and Oregon State,
want to involve ourselves in the lives of young children of color and
serve as role models and resources to the children of our community
because, we are aware of need of mentors that children of color need
being in a community that has a very low minority population. We
realize the need that is in our community for youth, and understand that
we should take each day with these kids step by step, encouraging youth to do well in school, to have a high self esteem and
to enter college are our main goals and focuses for this program
