o
my
goodness!
who are those
dazzling, devastating
divas? sexy, sophisticated
sistas? talented, tenacious trend-
setters? it could only be the sorors of
DELTA SIGMA THETA.. the alluring, bold,
captivating, diligent, energetic,
fabulous, gorgeous,
honorable, intelligent, jubliant divas of
DST... many are
called but the chosen are few to follow
the steps of the great
twenty-two... from challenges and
obstacles they did not shrink so
for us to pay tribute, let us sit and
think... of our illustrious 22 founders
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
DST
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!
The Delta girl is one who has been given the opportunity of education and broad development: she is one who has enjoyed the privileges of culture and selected environment... It is pleasing to a heartfelt depth to see her not as self centered, not desirous of selfish power, not wanting the plaudits of people, not wanting glory- but with a purpose which directs her activities and all that she may control toward lifting somebody else.
Soror Mary McCleod-Bethune
Sister
By Libya BaaQar
It is you my sister that I have come to know.
It is you my sister who has grown so close.
What spirit of goodness do you contain?
How talented you are,
Baring no shame.
I am mesmerized by the intellect of your mind.
You are a community helper,
A gift to mankind.
So to you my sister
I gratefully stand back.
It's the Delta in you
That has everyone tilting their hats.

- Erica Hubbard
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
Here 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
By: Jumond Greene
A Delta woman learns to work with what she has and strives to achieve more
A Delta woman has a heart of courage, a soul filled with integrity, and a mind full of knowledge
A Delta woman is a woman of Life
A Delta woman is life
