Sigma Poetry

What are your favorite Sigma poems or words of inspiration??
Here is one that I adore!!!

Phenomenal Sigma
By: Rock`s Poetic Justice
Adapted from Phenomenal Woman by Maya Angelou



Young Lady have you looked at a sorority? Well look no more I am here for you to see, Think each organization is simply the same? Just think again it`s all in our name. I say it`s in the community work we do, the lives we change, the chosen few, I am a Sigma woman Phenomenally, Phenomenal Sigma That`s me!

I walk with great pride, Don`t mistake it for conceit, When others see me, they smile, wink and say I`m unique. I say it`s in the pride of my steps, the smile that is kept, the love that`s exhumbed, the positive light I bring to a room. I am a Sigma Woman Phenomenally, Phenomenal Sigma that`s me!

The other Sororities have wondered what you see in me, They look real hard but can`t see what you see. When I try and show them they think I`m crazy. I say, it`s in my positive attitude and upbeat song, My confident look with the special attention I took. I am a Sigma woman, Phenomenally, Phenomenal Sigma that`s me!

Now you can understand just why I`m so proud, I don`t need to brag or boast or scream it aloud. Sigma Gamma Rho is in my heart and in my soul, According to me, it`s the only way to go. I say it`s in the work that I do, the words that I say, the children I affect in that special loving way. The elderly I care for, teaching others to do the same, The respect I give to you by simply remembering your name. Cause I`m a Sigma Woman,
PHENOMENALLY,
PHENOMENAL SIGMA,
THAT`S ME!!

I really like the poem: "I Am My Sister's Keeper" by Sorhor Madelyn Leeke.

Sorhor Leeke actually has a book of poems and the title of her book of poems is - "I Am My Sister's Keeper"

Soror SeriousSigma22, where can i get i copy of Soror Leeke's book? I am unable to find it at my local Borders or on Amazon.com :-(

Yes, I love I AM MY SISTER'S KEEPER as well. I also have SIGMA GAMMA RHO by Soror Rejesta V. Perry.

Soror TRSimon, Share your works with us !!!!!!

Also, although it is not a poetry book, have any of you read Soror Toni Y. Odom's book Sistahs N Sistahood? I haven't read it yet, though i hear it is on point.

Sorhor Knowledge1922,

Sorhor Leeke's website address is www.kiamsha.com. and the publisher's address is SUNSUM COMMUNICATIONS, P.O. BOX 73527, Washington, D.C. 20056. and the Publisher's number is 202- 332-5767.

This is the address and number that is listed in the back of the book! I purchased the book in the winter of 1995. I hope this helps!
