What distinguishes the "life" membership category in Alpha Kappa Alpha?

The "life" membership category in Alpha Kappa Alpha is characterized by a permanent membership status that is granted after the individual has demonstrated active participation in the sorority. This recognition signifies a commitment that transcends the typical membership requirements, reflecting the member’s dedication to the values and objectives of AKA over time. Life members are often distinguished by their contributions to the organization and their communities, showcasing their long-term engagement.

This permanent status means that once a member attains life membership, they are not required to renew their membership or pay annual dues, allowing them to focus on their continued service and involvement without the financial obligations associated with ongoing membership. This distinction underscores the importance of sustained commitment and service in the context of the sorority's mission.
