S2RR: Why I Renounced My Letters in AKA (REPLAY S1E5)

#KamalaHarris is energizing quite a few “minority” intersections within the electorate as #JoeBiden’s VP pick. She’s a woman and an HBCU graduate (Howard University). She’s also “Black” (Jamaican), “Asian” (Indian) and “Greek”...and by “Greek”, I mean she’s a member of a Greek-lettered organization.  In addition to the ethnic and educational diversity Harris brings to the Biden ticket, her  membership in Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Inc (AKA) is also a major selling point amongst some minority voters. As the first Black Greek-lettered organization (BGLO), AKA  has strong ties in the Black community as well as in the wider political, business, and even religious arenas. Yet, a growing number of Christians are renouncing their membership in this organization and other BGLOs.  But why? Find out in this Relevant Replay as we revisit our season 1 interview with Lily J, who renounced her letters in AKA after she became a Believer in Christ.
