The Delta Kappa Gamma Song
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 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!
