Our 5th Deltaversary

Though it may seem trivial to some, unfathomable to others, on this day in the year 2003 my prophytes gave birth to a wonderful line of women, for whom I will be eternally grateful. April 22, 2003 was the day that I was officially a member of the greatest organization ever Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Incorporated!
It is amazing how time has come and gone. How we have all changed and grown. I love my linesisters with all my heart 15-to-Life. I suppose only a fellow greek could truly understand the bound that we share.

When I think of what the women of Delta went through before me, I am filled with pride. An organization rich in history, and even richer in victory, it makes me that much more determined to make a positive mark on the world. Its with great fortitude that I look forward to the future.

Happy line birthday LSes, your tail loves you mucho!!! Elephant Hugs and Kisses!!

Wearing crimson, standing tall
Fortitude our symbol of strength and perseverance above all
She reaches back for those left behind
While reaching forward toward the future ahead
As we look toward the light to guide our path
The delta women before set a standard, and set the bar high
22 strong they all stood
From Osceola to Edith a true sisterhood
Making a change for the greater good
Determined
Dedicated
As a delta woman should
Never shying away from a cause that others would
I'm proud
Proud to be
A member of the elite
The elite that wears Crimson and Cream
No one will ever tell me different
Through the tides of time
Delta women are women of class, distinction, character and so much more
Chanting a chant that continuously rang
1913 was a year of change
from thence forward the world would never be the same
So forward the women of Delta march
not for fame fortune, or trivial cost
But for the betterment of a people, education held high
I'll represent Delta Sigma Theta ‘til the day I die!

?? My QUESTION MARKed Existence ??

It’s a curved line that ends at a secluded island

It emphatically represents what I now feel

The unknown splashed with a dose of reality

It's Like I am alone

And I have said it before

Its my question mark

The path is followed

And met with a dead end

I reach out to hold my prize on my secluded island

But alas I fail

And I fall

Into the land of the in between

And the not quite

Always reaching

Reaching with all my might

But never getting what I think I deserve

I am left question filled

And slightly perturbed

Was life meant to be this hard

I look up and get angry

“What more do you have for me today” I ask

I rant I rave I slash and burn

The destructive nature of what I feel materialized in the physical

And I am left with disillusion and disarray

Hoping to put back together the pieces

Cause humpty fell off the wall that day

And like him my spirit is in pieces

My glues not strong enough

And when I think it is

Is washable, dilute in strength and perseverance

I don’t know if I can go through something, anything again

I’m tired

I’m worn

Feeling pressure to the point that my vision blurs

Nothing is as it seems

And my present state of being concurs

I run to relieve the stress

But I run on a treadmill and my progress is still

Cause I am running in place

I want to get away

And I want to be free

But something or someone refuses to let me be

What is holding me back

And knocking me down

What is covering me in ashes

As my storm surrounds

Me

I can’t see

I can’t feel

The only thing I feel is disappointment

The only thing I see is dark

My heart is heavy

And my spirit sparse.
