Words

Women teachers to
the calling,
Firmly rally, never
falling,
Duty ne're upon us
palling,
Staunch, courageous,
we!
Loyalty and trust e'er
heeding,
Mindful of our sisters
needing
Aid and guidance from
those leading,
Helpful may we be!
To Delta Kappa Gamma
Faith we pledge
forever!
Hand in hand, our
loyal band,
Forward, moving ever!
Onward! 'tis our
sisters need us,
Courage, Faith and
Honor lead us!
Wrongs in truth and
justice heed us!
Firmly we shall stand!
Guardians of the faith
yet sleeping,
For our sisters watch
e'er keeping,
Deeds of others now
we're reaping,
We for others stand!
To us pioneers have
given;
We return their gifts
to Heaven;
Work for others is the
leaven
That inspires our
band!
Oh, Delta Kappa Gamma
In thy fold we gather;
Unity and Liberty
Shall be our
watchwords ever!
Education e'er we'll
further;
Each is bound to each
as brother,
With this faith in one
another,
We shall win, for aye!
