Vice President Kamala Harris’ college sorority is launching its own PAC in an effort to boost one of its most prominent alumni into the White House.
Harris is a member of Alpha Kappa Alpha, one of the oldest and most prominent historically black sororities in the country. AKA is also counted among the “Divine Nine,” a group of the most prominent black sororities and fraternities that holds huge sway in the black community.
Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority PAC, Inc., or AKA 1908 PAC, will be able to accept donations of up to $5,000 from sorority members and their families.
Harris has long courted the support of AKA and other Divine Nine member groups. She delivered a speech at AKA’s annual convention in July, and she invited the Divine Nine to the White House shortly after gaining office in 2021. It was the first time the group had met directly with a U.S. president or vice president.
