ATLANTA — Spelman College’s chapter of the Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Inc. has a new member that you might be familiar with.
Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt’s daughter, Zahara Jolie-Pitt, has joined the Mu Psi chapter of the historic sorority.
A video shared by Essence magazine shows Zahara revealing herself at Wednesday’s new member presentation on Spelman’s campus.
A new member presentation or probate is a ceremony where the newest members of a fraternity or sorority are introduced to the Greek community. It serves as a celebration of an individual but also the unique history and traditions of each organization.
Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Inc. was founded on January 15, 1908, at Howard University in Washington, D.C. It is the oldest Greek-letter organization established by African-American college-educated women.
The sorority is part of the National Pan-Hellenic Council, which is a collaborative umbrella council composed of nine historically African-American fraternities and sororities, commonly called the Divine Nine.
The Divine Nine includes Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, Inc., Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Inc., Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc., Kappa Alpha Psi Fraternity, Inc., Omega Psi Phi Fraternity, Inc., Phi Beta Sigma Fraternity, Inc., Zeta Phi Beta Sorority, Inc., Sigma Gamma Rho Sorority, Inc. and Iota Phi Theta Fraternity, Inc.
