A PINKY PROMISE BETWEEN US...
A PINKY PROMISE BETWEEN US...
Candidate for:
Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Incorporated®
Xi Omega Chapter
B A S I L E U S
The "Pinky Promise" is designed to uplift and amplify the voices of Xi Omega sorors, just as we proudly raise the pinky, our sorority’s beloved symbol. Built on four guiding pillars: Empower, Engage, Elevate, and Excel, it reflects the strength of the four fingers joined together to form the AKA pinky sign. Each pillar strengthens the other, creating a lasting foundation for our growth and success as a chapter.
The "Pinky Promise" is more than a gesture; it’s a mutual commitment. It symbolizes my promise to empower, your promise to engage, and together, our shared promise to elevate Xi Omega and continue to excel, hand in hand.
I ask for your support and your vote. I will honor the Pinky Promise so that, together, we rise higher than ever before.
A Pinky Promise Between Us.
