Shine Bright Like a Diamond

A Visit with Soror Evangeline Spillman. Soror Evangeline
Spillman was born April 15th and is a proud member of Alpha
Kappa Alpha Sorority, Inc. She was initiated into Beta Alpha
Omega Chapter in 1942. She is a Charter Member of Epsilon
Gamma Omega Chapter in Huntsville, AL. She has been a Soror
in the Sorority for over Seventy-five years which makes her our
Diamond Soror. Wow! What dedication, love, & sisterhood she
has given to the Sorority.

The Sisterly Relations Committee recognized the lovely Evange-
line Spillman with a bouquet of pink tea roses filled with love
and sisterhood for one of such a sophisticated personality. Since
Soror Evangeline could not attend the Sorority meeting on 3-10-
18, I, Soror Daphne Thurman-Sisterly Relations Chair, decided
to take her roses to her in person. Oh what a treat that was for
Soror Evangeline. I brought her another surprise-my family.

Oh what a wonderful time we shared just laughing, talking, and
taking selfies! She told us that she use to always take selfies. I
asked Soror Van, (her chapter nickname) what is a typical day like for her. She summed it up with three words
“eating, eating, & more eating.” She gave my husband some words of wisdom, “you better hold on to that one or
someone will snatch her up.” We ended the visit as she politely walked us out & said, you all have really made my
day & you have to bring your son back, since your husband dominated the conversation! We graciously stated that
we will be back as she is now a part of our family. On behalf of the Sisterly Relations committee I want to encour-
age all of you to “Shine Bright like a Diamond-like Soror Van.”
