Mrs. Michelle Obama is NOT an AKA. Upon becoming First Lady, the AKAs decided to make her an honorary member. Mrs. Obama is no more an AKA than she is a Delta, Sigma or Zeta.

While some people consider the men of Alpha Phi Alpha to be the brothers of Alpha Kappa Alpha (due to both organizations being the first founded for African-Americans), Alpha Kappa Alpha has no brother organization. The only Pan-hellenic organizations that have an official connection are Phi Beta Sigma Fraternity and Zeta Phi Beta Sorority.
Ernie Davis did not marry, He died at age 23 of leukemia. Ernie was the first African American man to win the Heisman Trophy and the first to join the prestigious Sigma Alpha Mu fraternity.
Kappa Alpha Psi was the FIRST FRAT to Wear a Kane as it represented being a Gentlemen. Phi Beta Sigma may have been the first to STEP with them, but KAPsi was the first to have the kanes....Since 1911.
There was never a connection. And there is no such letter from Diggs to Phi beta sigma asking them to join Kappa Alpha Psi. No sigma has seen such a letter nor members of Kappa Alpha Psi. There were two letters written one from Diggs to college men that were not organized explaining the orgins of Kappa, and another from a fraternity to Kappa asking to join, but nothing came of it. Yet, testimony to such a letter has persisted through the years and it appears evident through the annals of history that some form of communication did materialize between the fraternities of Kappa Alpha Psi and the Phi Beta Sigma. According to page 97 of a book entitied Black Greek-letter Organization in the Twenty-first Century the following historical account is noted: "It was at this time that the fraternity [Phi Beta Sigma] had another unique opportunity to expand. In a letter dated December 11, 1915, Kappa Alpha Psi Fraternity founder and Grand Polemarch Elder W. Diggs offered to merge Kappa Alpha Psi with Phi Beta Sigma. At the time, Kappa was establishing itself in the Midwest, while Sigma was expanding in the East and South. The fraternity's general board considered the proposal, but in a reply dated December 18, 1915, [Abram Langston] Taylor turned down the offer."

No, she is not. In July 2008, she actually accepted an invitation to become an honorary member of ALPHA KAPPA ALPHA SORORITY, INC., the oldest African-American Greek Letter sorority, but she has yet to be initiated. So currently she is not a member of any sorority.
The only sorority that "truly" has brothers is Zeta Phi Beta Sorority,Inc., as they are consitutionally bound with Phi Beta Sigma Fraternity, Inc. However, the ladies of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority Innnnnnnnncorporated!!!!!!!!! are most often associated with the brothers of Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity Incorporated. The two organizations were the first and finest of the nine black greek organizations.

"they are two of the black historical fraternity and sorority that were founded in January 1911." That is an incorrect answer! Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority was founded January 15, 1908 and Kappa Alpha Psi Fraternity was founded January 5, 1911. Both Greek Lettered Organizations are primarily, though not exclusively, African American in their demographic profile. The thing that relates the two organizations is the fact that Lucy Diggs Slowe, one of the sixteen original founders of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, and Elder Watson Diggs, the principal founder of Kappa Alpha Psi Fraternity were FIRST COUSINS and both were the FIRST President (Basileus/Polemarch) of their respective organizations' Alpha Chapter. Additionally, both were Educators and Grade School Principals. Other than these few factoids is the common knowledge that Pretty Girls wear 20 Pearls (members of AKA) and Pretty Boys (members of K-A-Psi) LOVE Pretty Girls! (LOL!)
