| Delta Dream I Dream about a Love so Strong, I fantasize the Circle Songs. I Imagine a Bond that Spans the Globe, 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. ~Author Unkown~ |
| They Say There Is Strength In Numbers The mirror tells me things the world refuses to see. There's just something inside of me that wants more than to be. I am a being so strong, so fierce and smooth. It's more to the way I look and how graceful I move. I want to be able to define what a woman is inside and out. I want the world to utter every word that comes out of my mouth. I want to give inspiration to every man, woman, boy, and girl. I want to be apart of something far beyond this world. I want to have someone by my side through thick and thin. And I want to see them through things from beginning to end. Delta Sigma Theta is the life that I want to lead. I want to be apart of an organzation that had more than just a dream ~Thoughts of a Pyramid~ |
| 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 who is enfranchised with the pearls from above A woman who is genuine A leader of integrity, God said...

| The Delta Girl is one who has been given the opportunity of education and broad development: she is one who has enjoyed the priviledges of culture and selected environment...it is pleasing to a heartfelt depth to see her not as self-centered, nor 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~ |

| Violets Like Deltas, Violets must be individually selected. You cannot grab a handful of them without damaging some of them. They cannot be roughly picked or picked in a hurry. Like Deltas, the Violet is not the kind of flower that shows off its fullest beauty standing alone, but is naturally gregarious and looks best in natural clusters. Howver, like Deltas, Violets can stand alone and still reflect beauty. Like Deltas, although at first galnce, Violets seem to look alike, on closer inspection one notes the many subtle charming, and individual characteristics that make each one distinctly different from its sisters. Like Deltas, despite the Viloets seemingly fragile beauty, it is never the less, sturdy and strong because it yields a long stem when pulled. Finally, like Deltas, even the Viloet that has passed its alloted time for blooming retains the dignity and coloration that bespeaks its exclusive culture. ~Soror Marie Johnson~ |
| Sisterhood Formula An ounce of honesty, fidelity, and devotion A dash of encouragement to strengthen one's emotion A lump of junilance coupled with caring and sharing A hint of audacity, boldness, or daring A few acts of kindness And a bit of goodwill To overcome the most burdensome ordeal It will surely bring joy, optimism, and praise Not just once but countless days A dab of benevolence, laughter, and pulling together Sweetened with millions of smiles And a heap of love ~Soror Janice D. Palmer~ |
