Why do AKAs collect frogs, mice, and rabbits?
Within the organization of Alpha Kappa Alpha it’s not traditional that members collect animals of any kind. The organization is represented by the ivy leaf and pearls only. Now some members do collect “frogs” which symbolize that the organization was growing in leaps and reaching new bounds. Some collect “rabbits” for it is said that when a baby rabbit is born the first sound it make’s is a Skee-Wee. Then it’s obvious why some AKA’s collect “mice” for elephants are afraid of mice. Elephants are referring to a Delta Sigma Theta mascot.
