Trivia about AAA History

 

 

Did you know that...?

*There was tight competition in 1996 when it came to deciding on a name for the first ever AAA fashion show.  Besides Asian Allure, other potential names that received a large percentage of votes were An Asian Fantasy, FantAsia, Asian Spices, and One Night in Asia.

*It used to be an Asian Allure tradition that each year the MCs would write and perform a comedic song.
*AAA brought Elaine Chao to speak on campus at it's annual student/faculty luncheon in April 1999.  Her resume included being former Deputy Secretary of Transportation, former director of the Peace Corps, and former CEO of The United Way.  Little did AAA know at the time that Elaine Chao would be appointed Secretary of Labor in 2001, the first Asian American woman to hold a cabinet position as well as the first Chinese American.
*From 2002-2008 the trend for AAA presidents was two sophomores, followed by two juniors, followed by two seniors.  But during this time period, sophomores made up a plurality of the officers each of the 6 years and held a majority all but one of those years.  Click here to see a chart of the breakdown by class of the AAA officer board in recent years.
