The Road Less Traveled
 

The Road Not Taken

Two roads divided into sisterhood,
And sorry I could not travel both
Oh to be a "Soror", long I stood
and looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth

I took the other, as just as fair
Sisterhood, Scholarship, Service they both claimed
But one was "less traveled" and wanted wear,
Though as for that, the "purpose" there
Had made them really about the same

And both before me equally lay
Though the colors were different, the background was Black
I couldn't choose the first for another day!
Knowing how way leads onto way
The sands once crossed, you can never go back.

I shall tell my daughter with a sigh
Somewhere years and years hence
Two roads that led into sisterhood, and I --
I took the one less traveled by,
AND THAT HAS MADE ALL THE DIFFERENCE!



Robert Frost's poem, The Road Not Taken.

I like the poem and thought of a way I could use it with my students when I was talking with them about sororities and why I chose Sigma. Thought I would share my "re-write" with you.

beautiful!!!
 

It's beautiful Soror!

BLU-tiful! don't make me preach!
 

SIGMA is indeed "the RHOad less traveled"...
as i always say, it takes a stronger character to depart from that which is popular in search of that which is different-- it takes a stronger woman to be an original, even if that means that she may walk with few, or even alone...

to be that lone dissenter and to have a passion that burns like fire nonetheless, to hold your head up high and KNOW that assets of a qualitative nature will always exceed those of a QUANTITATIVE nature, that is a heavy burden, but i bear my burden with PRIDE! i am thankful for each of you, my sorors, who opted to take this RHOad less traveled!

eeeeeeeeee-yip! i just love y'all!

Sorhor,

All I can say is "Wow" I'm getting a bit emotional now and so I will keep this post brief. I just wanted to say that everyday as a Sigma Woman it gets sweeter and sweeter and sweeter. . . .

To all the Sorors I met lately who were supposed to be legacies of other sororities or are the only Sigma in their greek families:

With a yellow tea rose in my hand, this is for you: :)
