(CNN) Michelle Arrington was on a plane headed to a beach reunion with her Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority sisters Saturday when American history happened. "Kamala Harris had become the first woman, the first Black woman, the first South Asian -- and yes, the first member of the storied Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority -- elected as vice president. The celebrations began at baggage claim -- where Arrington and fellow sorority sister Valyncia Saunders broke into song. Harris' victory is particularly resonant for Arrington, Saunders and the group of friends gathering at a beach house in the Outer Banks of North Carolina this week. They all attended Howard University, graduating more than a dozen years after Harris did in 1986.
