Delta Prayer
Now I lay me down to sleep, I pray for a sorority where i pledge for longer than a week.
A sorority where there are women who are cute but also smart
No time for looking in the mirror while being an undercover freak in the dark.
I pray for a sorority with members of all shades
Not one with just light-skinned chicks constantly chanting how they love their AKA.
Is there still a sorority that is dedicated to community service?
Tired of paper, letter wearing broads who act all nervous!!!!!
I'm looking for a sorority with excitement and flair
Not sororities who sport blue and white and seldom comb their hair.
A sorority that consists of the world's most prominent daughters and mothers
Not some token sorority who only slave for their brothers.
I need a sorority who is not all about the frat
But who holds their own and knows that our bruhs will have our back.
Please do not insult me with a sorority who will only hinder
I am a college student who needs to network- I need more than five members.
Well Lord I prayed, slept tight, and dreamed, now I'm a Devastating Diva of DST!!!!!

A Delta Woman...Can you Handle It???
We wanted to have a positive influence on the lives of Black women,
But our current organization placed restrictions and opposition to political and social awareness.
Out of this struggle, a change emerged to do the right thing.
