Founders of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Incorporated
Tribute to Our 22 Beloved Founders
Never has there been a desire so strong
Never has there been a more noble cause
Never has there been a greater answer to a cry
Than to those of the people whose time had come
In 1913, Delta Sigma Theta led the way
In a fight for women's suffrage, equality, and the right to be a driving force in America
We honor you, and we thank you for this glorious sisterhood
As the name of our founders ring from our lips
We dedicate ourselves to a lifetime of commitment
To this glorious sisterhood...DELTA...SIGMA...THETA.
