#38 Gamma Iota Spring '97

Dreams of Crimson and Cream were at the forefront of our minds
From Stacy to Courtney we learned how to bind a line in time.

Staying clear of "Peanuts," "Walnuts," "Cashews," and other issues that signals for tissue
We became Gray's Anatomy making sure each sister ate right
if her stomach went bump in the night.

They said it couldn't be done and we have proven time and time again
that there is strength in numbers
And together we'd win.

The days of justification are over
Let us put things on the line
We are women of resilience
And get better like fine wine.

We've prayed through Doctors galore
Doctors of Medicine
Doctors of Law
Doctors of Dentistry
but wait there's more

Our sisters stand in court rooms
Publishing books and poems
Make television debuts
And Sorors making the news
In Jet, in Ebony pick an online source
Managing and Directing companies
It's as simple as googling one of us

There's so much to our story, Sorors

I cannot tell it all,

but here's a little repetition

Of what we already know:

We're some soul stepping Sorors

Opening acts for music group Sorors

Singing with Vickie Winans Sorors

Coaching College Teams Sorors

Masters Degree Sorors

Teaching America Sorors

Taking Care of Home Sorors

Retired Early Sorors

Traveling around the World Sorors

We've seen the likes of France and Austrailia, Sorors

We personifying Violets, Sorors

With one of our very own who spent time in "Afrika! Afrika! Mother Afrika!"

Seeing dreams into Reality Sorors

And I'm glad you're on my team Sorors

Whew! Even an elephant can't walk a mile in our shoes.

They are just too big to fill.

Sky miles might distance us
Toll roads make keep us apart
But 10 years have been good to us
As we promised from the start
To know one another, truly
not because someone told us too
but because of our bond in Delta
continues to bring us through

When this day passes us by
And we look back on our days
Know that no matter what happens
Our love will always remain.

Take out your pictures, ladies
Look at all our smiles
Today is our day to celebrate
Our Delta Initiation with Pride.

I love you and Happy 10th Anniversary, Ladies of Dangerous Minds!

OOOO-OOOOP!
