224. There is an accountant at my job who is SUPER fly, just a Diva in everyway, flawless attire, super tight salt and pepper TWA, and has always made an effort to mentor me. She has always showed so much love and has really made an effort to show me the ropes. When she found out I wasnt going home for the holidays she invited me to spend the holidays with her and her family, and after a brief conversation at lunch today, I found out that she was a Soror!!! Let me repeat, I am OH SO GLAD TO BE A DELTA GIRL!!!!

She even whispered me an "oo-oop" as I was leaving the office this afternoon.

225. I am so EXCITED that there are only 11 days until my first Founders Day! I have my outfit for the day picked out already.:D

Ditto on that Soror! :D

226. I love that I'll have the honor of meeting Soror Johnetta B. Cole next week!!!!

Just remember there is no apostrophe in Founders. :D

227. I love neo enthusiasm such as Gina displays. Especially after e-knowing for so long and to finally be able to call her my soror.

Thanks Soror for the correction and the love.

I'm excited for you. Soror Cole is definitely a Delta that I look up to.

228. I love dynamic sorors like Soror Cole.

Sorors always looking out
 

229. I'm a new young lawyer at a big "eat em up, spit em out" corporate law firm and a beautiful and amazing sista pulled me into her office to give my guidance, encouragement and support. She tells me she always trys to look out for the sisters at the firm. That made me feel great. As I walked out, she mumbled something to herself about calling her soror. I asked what she was... and of course.. she was a Devastating Diva of Delta Sigma Theta... Of course we hugged, and laughed... but she looked out for me not knowing I was a soror, but as a true sister. Deltas are BORN... not MADE.

230. For my Sorors who push on with the business of Delta..In Spite Of. :)

Personal Setbacks
Hurricanes (Take that katrina :mad: )

231. For my Sorors that have been so receptive and open to helping me successfully execute programs (as a first time cochair in an alumnae chapter).

232. I love technology. Being on messageboards/instant messenger has taken fellowship to a whole notha level. ;)

I even met a Soror in S. Africa - we e-met online...discovered we were DSTant Sands.

I've met so many wonderful Sorors from being on these websites.
Blackplanet - the beginning - set it off in 2001. ;)

233. It's been 93 long years of developing lasting friendships and associations, because of our rock solid sisterhood we're able to build strong bonds and relations.

It's been 93 long years of service manifested by love and dedication from women who have talent, the skills, beauty but most importantly an education.

It's been 93 long years of standing up for particular reasons because we are determined to make a difference for a lifetime not just for a few seasons.

So, if you haven't realized by now the underlying principle of this communication, let me break it down to you so you can understand our sturdy foundation.

In 1913, our 22 brilliant Founders had the bold vision, thus we've made a meticulous decision to uphold our commitment and bona fide purpose of Sisterhood, Scholarship and continuous Service.

So, please understand the message of today; which is that Delta Sigma Theta has come a long, long way and we are definitely here to stay.

234. I love that my sorors can glorify our sisterhood in a thread like this without being disrespectful to other orgs.

235. Soror Vickee, this is beautiful and very creative. :D

236. I love the fact that my sorors always make me laugh, even on a not so bright day. :)

237. Soror, I love what you just said and was thinking the same thing.

238. Sorors, I love the beauty of this thread. Let's keep it beautiful.

239. I love that like ducks we let muddy water roll off our backs.

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.

^^^^ Did you mean to put this in here?

255. I love it that we can lovingly correct each other. Thanks, soror! ;)

256. I absolutely LOVE that I met Dr. Johnnetta B. Cole earlier this evening at an MLK Celebration. I also had the honor of presenting her with a gift from my chapter. She is one of the most gracious people I have ever met and she is also a PHENOMENAL speaker!!! I love that she shouted out Delta during her speech! :D (can anyone tell that I am on a Delta high right now?.....I'm counting Down 'til Founders Day!!)

257. I love that Proverbs' enthusiasm is contagious. One hour and 40 minutes left for us in CST. BUT since we were founded in EST, I am going to start celebrating on that time. :D

258. I'm grateful to our Beloved 22!! Nuff Said!!

Happy Founder's Day Sorors!!!!
OOOOOO-OOOP!

259. I love the class that all of my GC Sorors exude! :)

260. I love that we perform so much service to the community in the area of housing:
- by providing 27 years of housing to Senior citizens at Delta Towers in Washington, DC,
- by providing safe housing for hundred of girls at our Delta Home for Girls,
- by building 22 homes in the United States through Habitat for Humanities,
- by building 40 houses for our African Brothers and Sisters at Delta Gardens in Ghana through Habitat for Humanities International,
- by building three maternity wings at Mary Help of the Sick Mission (formerly Thika Maternity Hospital) in Thika, Kenya,
- by building our Delta Orphanage in South Africa, and
- by providing homeownership opportunities through our first-time home buyers Delta Challenge/Delta Chase Initiative.

261. I love that we have celebrated another Founders Day and sorors all over the world remembered why we are here and marveled in the spirit and warmth and love and SERVICE that is SO VERY MUCH Delta Sigma Theta. We have a way about ourselves sorors-- we really do.

262. Soror MulattoGyrl: For your heart that bleeds for the unfortunate and underprivileged. You have a zest for life, sunshiny humor, passion for change, and the words to help me see the other side of the problem. I love you much. :D

263. I love the fact that CT4 made me teary early in the morning.
((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((CT4))))))))))))))))) )))))))))))))))

264. I love the fact that I can (((((((Sorors)))))))) just because.

265. I love crimson and cream.

266. I love Delta Zeta chapter '95-'99. Through all the years, through ups and downs, we are still a close-knit chapter. We can come together like no time has passed between us. Through births, deaths, marriages, and life, our love remains. Shout out to Delta Zeta OOOOOOOOOOO-OOOOOP!!!

267. I love ALL my sorors...though we're scattered far and wide.
