Delta Poetry
Violets
Like Deltas, Violets must be individually selected you cannot 
grab a handful 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.
However, like Deltas, the Violet can stand alone and still reflect
beauty.
Like Deltas, despite the violet’s that has passed its allotted
time for blooming retains the dignity and coloration That
bespeaks its exclusive culture.

One True Delta
A woman of love, peace, and happiness
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
Here 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

Soror
The bonds of Delta can never be broken
Together we have all crossed the same sands
Together we have learned the same things.
Which chapter?
Does it matter?
We are Sorors….. Soror means I can lean on you
You’ll be there for me, and I for you.
Soror means I can call all night
And you’ll answer the phone without a fight.
Soror means you’re more than a friend
Soror means on you I can depend
Soror means I’m your supporter
Whatever you do I’m in your corner.
To Delta Sigma Theta we’re all so true Soror means, I love you!
