She
is Delta Sigma Theta Sorority
Written by Soror Rachelle Guillory
She is the embodiment of charity and patience
The epitome of sisterhood and fortitude
Through her emanates a torch of light
Glistening rays of sisterly servitude.
Forging forth in virtue's stride
Holding fast her cardinals plain
Through her beams a will to survive
A grand history to maintain.
As the Pyramids on the sands of Egypt
She is a phenomenal creation - her stature great
She treads a path of her own mind
Succumbing not to peer pressure or acts of fate.
Who can she be, this woman of character fine?
Transcending those of mere majority
A sister -- DeSTined to Shine
She is DELTA SIGMA THETA SORORITY!
The road that many want to follow, but yet few have walked.
Lord give me the words so that I may open my mouth to talk.
To talk about your goodness, and how you set me free.
To talk about the strength you have given me to pledge DST.
I thank you Lord for giving me two hands,
So that I may help those who may not understand;
Understand that it takes two hands to help my sister
So that her blessings can become more than a thin whisper.
Along with your 12 Disciples were 22 women
And I thank you God for the light they shined since the beginning.
And if I should die before I wake,
God please let it be known that I’m still working for Delta here after,
In the Omega Omega Chapter.
Amen
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.

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.
By Soror Valerie L. Thomas
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
