WASHINGTON, DC – The Society of Recovering Sorority Girls, through its founders Kristina "Morgan" Rose and Deandra "Brooksie" Brooks, alert serious pop-culture junkies to the 69^th birthday of Elvis Aaron Presley this Thursday, January 8th. Morgan and Brooksie encourage music fans, barbecue cuisine practitioners and pop culture aficionados to host their own "Birthday Celebration for the King".

"It is undeniable that Elvis Presley made huge contributions to our modern pop culture," stated Morgan.  "Pop culture is every bit as worthy of celebration as more ‘serious’ culture events."

"As Bruce Springsteen once said ‘There have been a lotta tough guys. There have been pretenders. And there have been contenders. But there is only one king,’" adds Brooksie. "At least that’s what my family always believed."

People searching for more information about Elvis and his contributions to the popular culture are encouraged to review his official website at www.elvis.com.

"This is an easy event to pull together," continues Morgan. "Blend Elvis movies, music and Southern-style cuisine to quickly and easily create a coherent party set-up."

"If you are true party over-achiever, a ‘Velvet Elvis’ is a must-have item for you," counsels Brooksie. "I know I’ll have one at my party."

More advice for hosting an Elvis birthday commemoration party is available in The Society of Recovering Sorority Girls’ virtual chapter room at www.recoveringsororitygirls.com, under Celebrate January.
