Flight of Zeta's White Dove
Official poem for the 75th Anniversary
SOROR NANCY SHEPERD OFFICIAL POET OF THE 75TH ANNIVERSARY CELEBRATION
Out of the depth of God's own soul
Came a creation from a special mold.
Zeta Phi Beta is her Cherished Name.
There is none other on can claim

Behold her appearance of Blue and White
As she rides the White Dove in its magnificent flight
She soars on the wings of this great Bird of Peace
With a heart that is humble, a heart that is meek.

Her countenance is calm; her face is serene,
Bathed in goodness, held in high esteem.
Her smile is radiant with a frown.
The cloud encircles her head like a crown.

Sprinkled deep within her mind
Are the goals and objectives, one of a kind.
Scholarship, service and sisterly love
Are never forgotten as she rides the White Dove.

Her brilliant torch is like a harbor burning bright,
Lighting the world from darkness of night.
Her hand does hold the Zeta shield,
Welcoming all women of good will.

Placed across her bosom are the true Alphabets.
Please know they are the best of the best.
Read them well and know them to be
Zeta Phi Beta Sorority.

Soar on, Sweet Zeta! Ride the White Dove
As if lifts its wings in its flight of love.

Phenomenal Zeta
The confidence in my step,
The dedication I convey to Scholarship.
I am a woman phenomenally,
Phenomenal woman,
That's me.

I walk into a room just as cool as you please.
And to a man,
Well the Sigma's stand,
While all other Greeks fall to their knees.
Then they swarm around me,
A hive of honey bees.
I say,
It's the truth in my eyes,
And the proud stride in my hops,
The kindness of my heart,
And the commitment to Service.
I am a woman phenomenally.
Phenomenal woman,
That's me.

Greeks have wondered what they see in me.
They try so much, but they can't touch my inner mystery.
When I try to show them,
They say they still can't see.
I say,
It's in the gleam of my smile,
The grace given me from above,
The beauty of my modesty,
The inner need to give and receive Sisterly Love.

Wow, you understand,
Just why my head's not bowed.
I don't shout or jump about
Or have to talk real loud.
When you see me dreaming of Z Phi
It ought to make you proud.
I say,
It's the blue in my heart,
the way I hold the principles I should,
The uniqueness of my thoughts,
The evidence of Finer Womanhood.
