Chapter Collect

   Give us, O Lord, a realization of

what our organization stands for.

 

With its high ideals always before us, may
our faith and courage never weaken.

 

Grant that we may be steadfast in our
purposes as we endeavor to meet the
responsibilities and obligations set before us.

 

Help us to be truly loyal, one to another,

and may we strive to become more

worthy members of our profession.
 

 And as we pledge anew our services to our
noble cause, may unity and cooperation
continue unbroken to the end.

 

DELTA KAPPA GAMMA SONG

 

Music by Lillian Mohr Fox

Words by Annie Webb Blanton

and Cora M. Martin
 

Women Teachers, to the calling
Firmly rally, never falling,
Duty ne’er 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 shall we stand!

Guardians of the faith yet sleeping,
For our sisters watch e’er keeping,
Deeds of others now we’re keeping,
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!

O, 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!
