Video: 2007 #FAMUsMarching100 REQUESTED by #Prince to perform at the #SuperbowlHalftimeShow. Dr. Lindsay Sarjeant, who handles the musical arrangements for the #Marching100, said he spoke with Prince via phone to discuss the show. The two collaborated until the arrangement was — in Prince's words — perfect. "He was just like a regular person," said Sarjeant, a professor of music.  "We talked, one musician to another. We talked about the instruments and how many people marched in the band. Talking to him was like talking to another musician. We sent the arrangement back and forth twice. Then he sent his recording crew down (to Tallahassee) and we did a lot of pre-production." #HBCUHistoryISBlackHistory #FAMUHistoryISBlackHistory #FloridaAandM #FloridaAandMUniversity https://www.instagram.com/p/ColLR8wLLLI/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

10 February 1887 Honoring our Guiding Light on her 136th birthday. Ethel Hedgemon Lyle, viewed #AlphaKappaAlpha as an instrument for enriching the social and INTELLECTUAL aspects of college life by providing mental stimulation through interaction with friends and associates. #1913, after #AKA1908's incorporation as a PERPETUAL body, #AlphaKappaAlphaSororityInc gradually branched out and became the channel through which selected college trained women improved the socioeconomic conditions in their city, state, nation, and the world; "Service To All Mankind". "The spirit of AKA hovering over us and our little deeds and acts—smoothing here, covering there, broadening younger, and making us do our best to think, to act, up to the highest in us. It is a force bigger than we are, stronger than we are, and it compels us to climb to the heights where it dwells." — Ethel Hedgemon Lyle #EthelHedgemonLyleIsBlackHistory #EthelHedgemanLyleIsBlackHistory #AKAHistoryIsBlackHistory #AKAHistoryMaker #EthelHedgemanLyle #EthelHedgemonLyle #AKA1908 #AKAExcellence #MinerHall #HowardUniversity #HBCUS @akasorority1908 @prettykonnected @howardalumni @phamilyties0608 https://www.instagram.com/p/Cofl3eIryMp/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

#APhiAHistoryISBlackHistory #AKAHistoryIsBlackHistory Lyle Love & Phirst Phamily: A TRUE Love Story Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity Inc. & Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority Inc. have developed a tradition for their members to reference their association to each other as #LyleLove. This identification is a derivative from a romantic, high-school sweetheart relationship developed in the early 1900's between #GeorgeLyle & #EthelHedgemon (#EthelHedgeman). George Lyle is a brother of Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, Inc. whom was initiated into the #BetaChapter in 1907 by which #JewelEugeneKinckleJones (One of the #SevenFounders of the Fraternity #1906) assisted in chartering. With George becoming a member of #AlphaPhiAlpha at #HowardUniversity, this is one of the solidifications to the idea Ethel Hedgemon had of founding #AlphaKappaAlpha at #Howard in #1908. This relationship between is also publicly identified as the #PhirstPhamily because they were the FIRST African American Intercollegiate Fraternity & Sorority established #APhiA1906 #AKA1908 #PhirstPham #Phirst #Phamily #Pham #SkeePhiToTheOldestAndColdest https://www.instagram.com/p/Cocl9SYLgMd/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
