My Interests

A woman of love, peace, and happiness With a passionate, burning dream To become one of the women Who wears the Crimson and Cream

Her heart, like the elephant Is as strong as can be While, like the pyramid, she has three sides One side for them, one side for you, and always one side for me

Her love for DST Was evident from the start When asked why be a Delta? She said, "It's just in my heart!"

With the wind to her back And God's presence there just the same Here dream reached reality And a Delta she became

So she will wear the Crimson and Cream And it will be there to stay Because she will be "One True Delta" Until her last dying day
