I've heard it said a sorority
Is a waste of time; but I know better...
For I have seen the love and walked
In the splendor of sisterhood...
I've heard it said that a sorority
Is sad; I can't agree...
I've heard it said that a sorority
Is a dull, selfish place; It can't be true...
I've seen the affection, watched it
Fill my heart, the very air...
And I have learned the Creed
Polished and spotless from end to end
And I've watched the sorority's
Devotion drape each and every active.
And pledge to look like nature's
Freshly-granted love nourished for growth...
I've heard it said that a sorority is
Harmful, but they are wrong...
For I know my sisters...watched them
Strive to save a cause, spend of themselves...
And I've watched them hope, dream
And aspire, side by side...
I've heard them say these things,
But I would disagree...
Because for every shadow I have
Seen a hundred rays of light...
For every plaintive note I've
Heard the symphony of joy...
For every penny-weight of bad,
I've found a ton of good...
Good in nature, in people, in my sorority...
I'm thankful I belong.
