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!
