I'M A UNIVERSITY OF ALABAMA GRADUATE AND I'M OFFENDED BY THIS MISINFORMATION!!!!!

We learned this in orientation...

In 1923, Abraham Lincoln visited the University of Alabama and stood in the door as Sojourner Truth attempted to walk through and register to work out in the gym on campus because she didn't feel as though she should have to walk 2 hours, uphill, in the snow to simply do Pilates.

So, as she planned to walk in and sign up a man named Hannibal was riding by on his elephant. (That kind of stuff is quite common in Alabama) he saw the event of magnanimous proportion that was about to occur at this time and decided to charge full speed ahead into the gym that President Lincoln was standing in front of.

Sojourner Truth never made it to the gym that day, she had a heart attack while walking 4 miles downhill in the snow to the UA doors. DST now has a woman holding a fruit tray as their symbol. (Sojourner Truth was a cashier at Whole Foods) The Elephant Represents the One Hannibal rode on to destroy Abrahama Lincoln's racial intolerance. The Crimson and Cream Represent the Crimson blood from the injuries sustained that day and the Cream Cheese Bagels that were in the Gym.

The University has ALWAYS taken a stance against...I mean for Equality and Justice in Education. Delta Sigma Theta was founded that eventful day and has been the greatest sorority known to mankind and ESPECIALLY the UA campus.

Now the AKA's were founded at an Ivy League School and it's a funny story dealing with a man named Diego and his swift feet, a Prince who was cursed by witch, and a whale named Willy that a little guy we know as Michael Jackson sang about...
