Hymn to the Founders
Now
as we gather, Delta Kappa Gamma
Praise we the twelve who faith and honor plighted;
Led by the band, a nation’s teachers follow
Seeking the light of truth.
Here in their presence, Delta Kappa Gamma,
Honor the names now known throughout our nation.
Forge well the chain that binds us all together,
Pledging our loyalty.
Ever in service, Delta Kappa Gamma,
Loosing the bonds of knowledge still enchained,
Sharing the truth in ever-growing splendor
Until the world is free.
Praise we the twelve who faith and honor plighted;

Forge well the chain that binds us all together,
Pledging our loyalty.
Ever in service, Delta Kappa Gamma,
Loosing the bonds of knowledge still enchained,
Sharing the truth in ever-growing splendor
Until the world is free.

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!
