Miaka vs Alpha Kappa Alpha
KollegeKidd reports:
There may be a big lawsuit in preparation against the oldest and most renowned sorority founded for African American women.
Men interested in Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority are threatening to file a lawsuit against Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Inc., a sorority founded at Howard University on Jan. 15, 1908.
The group of men, all homosexual, are alleging homophobia and gender discrimination by the sorority.
News of MIAKAs first surfaced a couple years ago when men founded an unofficial chapter of AKA at Texas Southern and Prairie View A&M.
Members of the Greek community were shocked when the Tri Alpha Chapter of MIAKA presented photos of men adorned in pink and green and pearls, while throwing up their “pinkies.”
People were even more shocked to learn the chapter had filmed a probate show with sounds of the sorority’s famous call “skee wee” heard in the background.
LGBT Community
As the world becomes more accepting of the LGBT community, MIAKAs may have a legitimate case.
On Wed. May 9, Barack Obama made history by becoming the first president to officially endorse same‑sex marriage.

I just don’t understand why the AKA’s are so homophobic! There are a lot of men that act like those chicks, shallow and judgmental so they should fit in just fine. Are the AKA scared to see a shadow of themselves?
