I Wonder If They KnewEighty-six years prior to this day
Twenty-two women paved the way
for sistas like me...and her...and her...
DELTA WOMEN!
Beautiful, strong, dignified, college educated,
driven women of courage.
But don't sleep!
They paved the way for you, too.
They marched for women's suffrage,
rallied in the political arena,
and participated in a revolution of change in the black community.
Forever reaching out with open arms to uplift society.
DELTAS
Women of variety...Actress, Accountant, Teacher, Preacher, Musician, Politician,
Physician,Biologist, Psychologist...WHEW!
THERE IS NO END TO THIS LIST!
86 Years
4,472 Weeks
31,390 Days of DELTA!!!!!!!!!!!
Who are we my sisters and me...
On the surface you may choose to see
stepping, oo-oops, and crimson and cream.
But take a closer look you are guaranteed to find
hard working women with brilliant minds.
Today marks the last Founders' Day of this century
But Deltas will continue to make history.
I wonder if they knew,
if they could foresee
how great DELTA SIGMA THETA would come to be!
