Historically Black Greek letter fraternity & sorority chants and songs are part of African American culture that can be appreciated by people inside and outside of those organizations. Examples of these performances and compositions are cultural artifacts that should be collected, preserved, and studied along with information and comments about those performances/compositions.

However, in accordance with the cultural traditions, historically Black Greek letter fraternity & sorority chants and songs should only be recited and/or performed by those who are members or pledges of the specific organization that is affiliated with that particular chant.

"Need Help Sorors

OOOOO-OOOOP Sorors,

First off I would like to say that I hope everyone is doing well. I wish you much luck and hope that all your activities and community service is going well.

I have one question. The song that starts off "Who are we....my sisters and me, we are the soul stepping sorors of DST." Does anyone know the rest of the song? We have been trying to find the rest of the words but just can't get our hands on them. I you know the rest or at least a part of it, could you please e-mail it to me at [address deleted] Your help is greatly appreciated.

Much love"

"That phrase is probably in more than one chant/song, but I learned this version:

Step, step for the D
Step, step for the S
Step, step for the T
Step, Step for DST

Step, Step, step for Delta Sisters
Step, Step, Step for DST
Who are we, my sisters and me
We are the soul steppin' sisters of DST"

"The song we sing goes like this:

Who are we?
My Sisters and me
we are the Soul Stepping Sorors
of DST!

We have strived
and crossed the sands
over into Delta Sigma
Theta Land

Step by step
my Delta Sorors
Step by step
for DST

Step by step
my Delta Sorors
step by step for DST

 

(The sopranos go

We are the SOul STepping Sorors o[f] DST

We are the SOUl STepping Sorors of DST...

(This continues while the remaining Sorors sing Who are we...and is repeated 4 times, then everyone joins back into W[h]o are we)"
