We’ve spent some time talking about the famous members of Historically Black Greek Letter Organizations, now it’s the ladies’ turn. Here are some notable famous ladies that are members of sororities.

Phylicia Rashad – Alpha Kappa Alpha – She was America’s mom for almost a decade and one of the most beloved television personalities of the 80s. Rashad is still doing her thing in movies like For Colored Girls.

Zora Neale Hurston – Zeta Phi Beta – Remember reading Their Eyes Were Watching God in high school? It’s a classic book written by the lovely Zora. She also used to get chopped down by Langston Hughes, but that’s a different story.

Ruby Dee – Delta Sigma Theta – See all of those actresses running around on the big screen? They can all thank Ruby Dee for her accomplishments. She broke so many barriers and her beauty was something to behold.

MC Lyte – Sigma Gamma Rho – One of the greatest rappers of all time was initiated as an honorary member, and she’s totally embraced the sorority. You think anyone will make Nicki Minaj an honorary member?
