Delta Dream

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.

One True Delta

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

Delta

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.

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 of love, A woman who is enfranchised With the pearls from above A woman who is genuine, A leader of integrity, God said... I'll make me a REAL woman, I'll call her DST





A SISTER'S LOVE

There is nothing better than a sister's love, She knows exactly what to say and what you are thinking of.

A sister will be there in your time of need, When you go astray, down the right path she will lead.

A sister will be an ear when you need someone to talk to, She will be a shoulder to cry on when you are feeling blue.

A sister's love will never die, The kind of love shared between you and I.

Do You Just Belong?

Are you an active member The kind that you would be missed? Or are you just contented That your name is on the list?

Do you attend the meetings and Mingle with the flock? Or do you just stay at home to criticize and knock?

Do you take an active part to help the work along? Or are you satisfied To only just belong?

Do you work with your committee And get right in and mix? Or leave the work to just a few And talk about the "CLIQUES"?

Think this over MEMBER----------- You know right from wrong! Are you an active member or DO YOU JUST BELONG?"

The Delta Woman

Lovely creature Hand made by God Smooth-spoken woman Modeling and serving She is conspicuous as a growing seed She is solid as a rock She is as wayfaring as an ant She stirs, serves, and hastes on.

Lovely creature Hand-made by God Smooth-spoken woman Constant and valiant Come wind, come rain Comes no discouragement She is relentless Her vowed intent She is a strong woman!

Lovely creature Hand-made by God Smooth-spoken woman No task will she flee This is right, for you see, She is a Delta!

Lovely creature Hand-made by God Smooth-spoken woman No hobglobin nor foul fiend Can daunt her fine spirit. So, she labors night and day; Being ever true to herself, Being ever true to Delta!

A Delta Woman

A Delta woman, full of style and grace, You hardly ever, see a frown on her face Full of class and of light, everyone knows, This Delta's tight, She never complains when Something doesn't go her way, She prays and has faith, Knowing everything will be O.K. A Delta woman, it could be you or me, But a Delta woman couldn't be just anybody...
