240. My line sister got married yesterday. Almost all of my line sisters attended the wedding as well as several members of our chapter. When it was time to sing the Sweetheart Song, even more sorors joined us. It was beautiful to see sorors of all ages, shades and shapes wish her well!:D :D

241. Soror Trevy McDonald for reaching out to me without even knowing I was a Soror just a fellow self-published author on her journey. :D

242. I love that I went to the CAC meeting today and as always, the sorors were so warm and sisterly. I learn something new each time I attend their meetings.

243. I love that I purchased my ticket today to the Founders Day Luncheon where I will serve as a hostess!!!!! :D

244. I love the fact that when I re-read this thread I get teary.

245. I love that my chapter is sponsoring our first annual Delta Revival overnight retreat this weekend on Founders Day!

That should be really nice.

246. I love the fact that my chapter is making a weekend in of it, too--Friday night ( January 13) chapter meeting and then a pajama party at the hotel. Saturday, the luncheon. And Sunday, worship service. And at the PJ party we have a sleepwear/lingerie fashion show with sorors strutting their stuff. - lol

247. Just for Soror Carla!:D

According to www.timeanddate.com,

It is 3 days, 5 hours, 22 minutes and 58 seconds until January 13, 2006, at Midnight

OOOOOO-OOOOOOOP!!

BWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHAHHAAHAHAHAHAHAHHA :D God bless the NEO. :D

248. THANK YOU Soror Gina, this made me walking down memory lane and laughing :) :p ;) :p

249. I love the fact that I had breakfast with my "back" on Saturday. We had a nice time and then went on to Sorority meeting.

250. I love the fact that this is my first Founder's Day Celebration as a Soror.

251. I can't wait to see all my Sands this weekend. And my number 8 is pregnant..yeah!!:D

252. I love that I can look at a woman and tell she's a soror. Last night, I was working out and an older woman walked in. I just had a feeling. I was wearing a Delta shirt (sorors, don't make fun of me please) and she said "hey soror!"

253. I love that sorors can look at ME and tell that I am a soror. One day, I had on a red sweater and this lady asked me "Are you a Delta." Shocked, I replied "Yes! Yes, I am." She said "I could just tell! Hey soror!"

254. I love that we are so visible. I wore my jacket to work and one of my students said "Meez Discreet, you one of them too? Why at every school I've been to it's been teachers that's one of them?" lol

Delta Essence: Soror Etta L. Tucker
 

Soror Tucker went home to meet our creator on Jan. 5, 2006 after battling with the most crippling oponnent of African American women...Breast Cancer... However, her life stood as a momentous example of what a disease CAN NOT take from you. She was in every aspect ...DELTA! Soror Tucker gave 40 plus years to Delta Sigma Theta, Sorority Inc. and over 20 to the Clay County Alumnae chapter of West Point, MS and never missed an event. Her love for humanity, fellowman and Sorors was impeccable. I met Soror Tucker after having graduated from one of her many alma maters Mississippi University for Women in Columbus, MS in 2000. That following fall I became a member of Clay County Alumnae and quickly became known as the "Technological Sista" because I was the youngest soror in the Chapter and a native. She and I instantly became close and would often carpool to Clusters and meetings. Her wisdom, chrisma, determination, eloquence, servitude and knowledge is and was priceless. Any soror would marvel in her presence because when you were with her she made you feel as though you were "The Queen". No matter the age, class or any other "isms" when you were with her you were the center of attention. There's none like her! Because of her and the many women of the Clay County Alumnae chapter I became a DELTA! These women were my grade teachers, Delteen leaders, church members...it seemed as if I couldn't escape them. While on my journey to Deltaland it was difficult to decide which to pick in "helping me" cross the sands! I love each of them, like a daughter. I shall miss her encouragement, genuine concern, wisdom and friendship. Too often younger sorors meet at the Clusters, Regional and National Meetings never once finding comradarie among Alumnae or older sorors...I tell you that's where Delta lies in the wisdom of these ladies whom has trodded this journey before us. To my present day sorors, I say..."I would be true...". To my sorors whom shall never pass this way again... I say..."though, I'm far, far from thee, yet my heart will near thee be...
Be with God, Soror Tucker...take your rest...I'll see you in the morning.
