"Theta Woman"

by Soror Ayodele Carroo, Spr '98

 

Loyal to the cocoon

From where she comes

The Theta Woman rises out of a lavender dawn

To proudly bridge the gaps in her world

With her butterfly wings.

 

With honesty and courage

She lives and loves without conditions.

Surrendering to her beauty and power,

She gives and receives freely

Remembering her vision, her purpose, her heart.

 

Creator of her own definition

She inspires those around her

To be proud and selfless

To give unselfishly over and over again.

Loving herself as she loves others,

The butterfly transcends

 

- taking others with her in her flight.
