The Boule is Alpha Kappa Alpha’s national convention, held once every two years. It is the sorority’s largest gathering, combining official business sessions with leadership development, public service, workshops, and sisterhood events. Members travel from chapters worldwide to attend, which is why a host city sees tens of thousands of visitors in AKA’s signature pink and green for the week.<\/p>\n

What to Pack for a Week in Vegas<\/h2>\n

Boule runs a full week, and Las Vegas in July sits well above 100 degrees outside while the Mandalay Bay session halls stay heavily air conditioned. Packing for both means light layers you can move between, plus the pink-and-green pieces you will want on the convention floor.<\/p>\n
