Delta Poetry


The Delta Woman

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

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

Lovely creature
Handmade 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!



The Delta Girl is one who has been given the opportunity of education and broad development: she is one who has enjoyed the privileges 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.

Delta Sigma Theta

I am Divine.
Gently graceful, yet elusively powerful.
The blood of queens flows through my veins.
My ancestors ruled the ancient kingdoms of Africa with wisdom unfathomable.
They dreamed the colors of crimson and cream.
I am the living dream of my ancestors.
In the company of my sisters, I serve others selflessly,
The spirit of our glorious founders guides me,
Their light shines within me ever so brightly.
I am the living dream of my founders.
A lady of true wisdm, you will find none greater. Make way for this dynamic woman of Delta Sigma Theta.
