Quick Answer
Pack a tight, restyleable capsule in salmon pink and apple green: a printed shirt dress for daytime, wide-leg trousers with a blouse for sessions, and one pink piece for the banquet.
Alpha Kappa Alpha, founded at Howard in 1908, the first sorority established by Black college women, organizes its chapters into regions, and the Regional Conference is where yours comes together each year between Boulés. It's shorter and more working than the Boulé, but no less photographed, and the colors still lead: salmon pink and apple green, worn as real clothing.
This guide comes from a Black-owned house that already lives in AKA circles. Honorary members Tamron Hall and Yolanda Adams have both worn Sai Sankoh, and a verified customer review on the pink-and-green Madison Shirt Dress reads: "I had this for a private tour for the AKAs and everyone loveddddd it." The label was also named Best Resortwear by D Magazine in 2024.

The Colors, Fast
Pink and Green for a Working Week
A Regional leans more daytime-business than the Boulé, so let green do the daytime work and save pink for the evening. A green wide-leg trouser with an ivory blouse reads sharp in a morning session. A printed shirt dress that carries both shades covers the marketplace and the luncheon in one. Then a pink piece, a dress or a draped kaftan, turns up the warmth for the banquet.

Pack Light
A Regional Capsule
Regionals are short, so pack for restyling, not for every 'what if.' Build around one pink banquet piece, one green or printed set you can break apart, a shirt dress for the marketplace, wide-leg trousers with two blouses, and a silk scarf to tie the colors together.

“One print, two solids, and you've got the whole region covered.”
What Each Part of the Regional Asks For
—Business sessions: wide-leg trousers and a clean blouse, or a fluid dress, with a block heel.
—Workshops and committees: a shirt dress or a set you can split, keeps you put-together without effort.
—The awards luncheon: a printed dress that reads polished sitting and standing.
—The banquet: a long pink goddess kaftan or a floor-length dress.

Frequently Asked
What should I wear to an AKA Regional Conference?
Pack a tight, restyleable capsule in salmon pink and apple green: a printed shirt dress for daytime and the marketplace, wide-leg trousers with a blouse for business sessions, and one pink piece for the banquet.
How is a Regional different from the Boulé?
A Regional is shorter and more working, your region's chapters meeting between Boulés for business, workshops, an awards luncheon and a banquet. You can pack lighter, but you'll still want the colors and one dress-up look.
What do I wear to the awards luncheon?
A printed dress that photographs well seated and standing, with a comfortable heel, polished but easy for a midday seated event.
Can I wear a kaftan to the banquet?
Yes. A long, draped goddess kaftan in pink reads formal and lets you move comfortably through dinner, awards and dancing.
