I dream about a Love so Strong,
I fantasize the Circle Songs.

I imagine a Bond that Spans the Globe,
I'd wear the Crimson and Cream Robe.

I Dream the Dream that Sisters do,
to Walk amongst the Twenty-Two.

To sit atop the Pyramid,
and Dream the Dreams Naomi did.

When I Awaken from this Mood,
I see Myself as Fortitude.

The Message that this Dream has sent
to Proudly Ride the Elephant.

And Send to You My Love Soror
for You to Dream as I've Before.

One True Delta

A Woman of love, peace, and happiness
With a passionate, burning dream
To become one of the women
Who wears the Crimson and Cream

Her heart, like the elephant
Is as strong as can be
While, like the pyramid, she has three sides
One side for them, one side for you,
And always one side for me

Her love for DST
Was evident from the start
When asked why be a Delta?
She said, "It's just in my heart!"

With the wind to her back
And God's presence there just the same
Her dream reached reality
And a Delta she became

So she will wear the Crimson and Cream
And it will be there to stay
Because she will be "One True Delta"
Until her last dying day

Delta

Long ago and far away
Twenty-two began a brand new day.
They wanted more than just a social life
They desired to be more than just a wife.
These twenty-two had a larger vision
And that soon caused them great division.
Some went left, but most went Right
And strove to reach a higher light.
They wanted to make a better place
And give their children a broader space
To expand their minds and their hearts
And give to the world the best parts
Of being Intelligent, Female, and Black.
These twenty-two started the forward motion
But theirs was just the tip of this Delta notion
They gave the foundation and an example to follow
They made it strong and solid, not hollow.
Their legacy remains as a directional arrow
And the time is now to release the sparrow
To fly free and soar to heights unknown
But she must never travel alone.
Along with her sisters the job gets done.
Along with her SORORS the battle is
Won.

AND GOD SAID

I`ll make a woman, a woman of essence
A woman of pride, a woman who is capable
Of putting trivial things a side
A woman of individuality
A woman of love,
A woman who is enfranchised
With the pearls from above
A woman who is genuine,
 A leader of integrity,
God said...
I`ll make me a
REAL woman, I`ll call her

A SISTER'S LOVE

There is nothing better than a sister's love,
She knows exactly what to say and what you are thinking of.

A sister will be there in your time of need,
When you go astray, down the right path she will lead.

A sister will be an ear when you need someone to talk to,
She will be a shoulder to cry on when you are feeling blue.

A sister's love will never die,
The kind of love shared between you and I.

Do You Just Belong?

Are you an active member
The kind that you would be missed?
Or are you just contented
That your name is on the list?

Do you attend the meetings and
Mingle with the flock?
Or do you just stay at home
to criticize and knock?

Do you take an active part
to help the work along?
Or are you satisfied
To only just belong?

Do you work with your committee
And get right in and mix?
Or leave the work to just a few
And talk about the "CLIQUES"?

Think this over MEMBER-----------
You know right from wrong!
Are you an active member
or DO YOU JUST BELONG?"

The Delta Woman

Lovely creature
Hand made by God
Smooth-spoken woman
Modeling and serving
She is conspicuous as a growing seed
She is solid as a rock
She is as wayfaring as an ant
She stirs, serves, and hastes on.

Lovely creature
Hand-made by God
Smooth-spoken woman
Constant and valiant
Come wind, come rain
Comes no discouragement
She is relentless
Her vowed intent
She is a strong woman!

Lovely creature
Hand-made by God
Smooth-spoken woman
No task will she flee
This is right, for you see,
 She is a Delta!

Lovely creature
Hand-made by God
Smooth-spoken woman
No hobglobin nor foul fiend
Can daunt her fine spirit.
So, she labors night and day;
Being ever true to herself,
 Being ever true to Delta!

A Delta Woman

A Delta woman, full of style and grace,
You hardly ever, see a frown on her face
Full of class and of light, everyone knows,
This Delta's tight, She never complains when
Something doesn't go her way, She prays and has faith,
Knowing everything will be O.K.
A Delta woman, it could be you or me,
But a Delta woman couldn't be just anybody...

Delta Sigma Theta

I am divine,
Gently graceful, yet elusively powerful.
The blood of queens flows through my veins.
My ancestors ruled the ancient kingdoms of Africa with
wisdom unfathomable.
The dream in colors of cream and crimson.
I am the living dream of my ancestors.
In the company of my sisters, I serve other selflessly,
The spirit of our glorious founders guides me,
Their light shines within me ever so brightly.
I am the living dream of my founders.
A lady of true wisdom, you will find none greater.
Make way for this dynamic woman of Delta Sigma Theta
