MILWAUKEE, Wisc., (SPECTRUM NEWS) -- Open up your timeline, and you may see "AKA" sprinkled throughout your social feed. But it's not designating an alias. 

AKA actually stands for Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority Inc. The woman's organization is the first Black sorority in the nation.

VP candidate Sen. Kamala Harris, a sister herself, is bringing AKA to center stage. 

President of one of the AKA Milwaukee chapters, says she is working to translate Harris’ support-numbers into votes. A CNN exit poll shows Black women, out of any other voting sub-groups show the most support for Democrats.

“We’re going out and we’re making sure that folks know how to register, sending out communication online, making sure that they understand the importance of getting that absentee ballot, putting it in the mail or taking it personally and then kind of encouraging each other to help each other,” says Brigitte Tyler Richardson.

The New York Times says this could, in fact, be Harris' "secret weapon" on the campaign trail. Now, a national organization of more than 300,000 members strong could bring powerful support to the polls in November. She's already been endorsed by a prominent Black leader in the South. Gloria Boozer happens to be an AKA, too. 

When women join AKA at any point in college or afterward, they're members for life. Harris took the pledge during her time at Howard University. 

AKA's presence in Milwaukee is so strong, that Brew City actually has two chapters: Upsilon Mu Omega and Epsilon Kappa Omega. 

One member and former president of the UMO chapter in Wisconsin, Dorothy Buckhanan Wilson, is no stranger to the power of that sisterly bond. She was the 29th international president of AKA, which has been around for more than a century, serving for about four years. She's highly decorated, having received multiple leadership awards. 

Harris, unsurprisingly, is seen as a leader in the eyes of the organization as well.

 She recently sent a video to AKA's leadership conference calling her sorority sisters, dawned in pink and green, to action. 

“We have a fight ahead of us, and we cannot afford to sit it out,” she said in the video. “Simply put, the women of Alpha Kappa Alpha have forged paths and led in just about every space imaginable." 

It's clear her sorority sisters are standing in support of Harris. Just take a look at their socials, urging Milwaukeeans to get out and vote and congratulating the Senator on her place on a major ticket. 

Whether or not she'll be able to secure the Black vote in its entirety is to be determined, but one thing's for sure: Her Wisconsin AKA sisters are ready to help launch her to the White House.
