She was a member of the Alpha Kappa Alpha sorority
While attending Howard University in 1986, Harris joined the HBCU’s chapter of the Alpha Kappa Alpha (AKA) sorority, the first established Black Greek Letter Organization for women. One way Harris honored her ties to the Divine Nine — the council of the nine historically Black fraternities and sororities — on the campaign trail was by wearing a string of pearls, which represents the sorority’s 20 founders and incorporators.
"What you learn at an HBCU is you do not have to fit into someone's limited perspective of what it means to be young, gifted and Black," she said during a 2018 interview on Power 105’s syndicated radio show The Breakfast Club.
