 THE DELTA KAPPA GAMMA SONG

Women teachers to the calling,

Firmly rally, never falling,
Duty ne’er upon us palling,
Staunch, courageous we!
Loyalty and trust e’er heeding,
Mindful of our sister’ needing,
Aid and guidance from those leading,
Helpful may we be!
To Delta Kappa Gamma
Faith we pledge forever!
Hand in hand our loyal band,
Forward moving ever!
Onward! ‘Tis our sisters need us,
Courage, Faith and Honor lead us
Wrongs in truth and justice heed us!
Firmly shall we stand!

Guardians of the faith yet sleeping,

For our sisters watch e’er keeping,
Deeds of others now we’re reaping,
We for others stand!
To us pioneers have given;
We return their gifts from Heaven;
Work for others is the leaven
That inspires our band!
Oh, Delta Kappa Gamma
In thy fold we gather;
Unity and liberty,
Shall be our watchwords ever!
Education e’er we’ll further;
Each is bound to each as brother,
With this faith in one another
We shall win for aye!
---Annie Webb Blanton and Cora M. Martin
