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 sisters 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,
Wrongs in truth and justice heed us!
Courage, Faith and Honor lead us!
Finally 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 to 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 watchword 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 & Cora M. Martin
