Although I'm not even a month old in Delta yet, I've had plenty of memorable and proud moments. My line sisters and big sisters will tell you i'm the sentimental one of the line. I cried many times when we would go over the words in the songs. I felt so much passion and love in the words. I kept trying to put myself in the author's shoes when they wrote those songs. If you really listen to the words, you'll FEEL what Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Incorporated is all about.
I can't possibly list all of the proud moments that I've had. Just studying the herstory alone makes me proud. I am just amazed by Sorors Madree Penn White, Dorothy Irene Height, and Sadie Tanner Mossell Alexander. My line affectionately called them the "Bad Mamma Jammas" because they've done so much in their lives and for our beloved sorority.
To piggy-back off of what many of you said, I almost choked when I heard the president of my chapter introduce us as their new sorors. That word means so much. The day we crossed was so emotional. I cried so much. I cried before we even started. Our Regional Chaplain said a prayer for us and I cried. My line sisters all laughed at me, but they expected. But I think the biggest tears came after we crossed and they showed us where all of our presents were. In the middle of all of our gifts was the most beautiful thing, our membership certificates! I couldn't believe that they were real. When they told me that I was holding my official membership certificate in my head, I started to almost sob. I had waited on Delta so long and I couldn't believe that I had finally achieved my goal. I'm so ready to work with and for Delta!
DISCLAIMER: I apologize for the length, but I get very emotional when I talk about Delta. It is so important to me. I'm quite sure my sands feel me.
