What is Don't Quit?
When people pull you down - And often times they will, When the battle you're fighting seems to be all up-hill, When your funds are low and your debts high,
When you're laughing although you'd rather cry,
When you feel yourself slowing down a bit.
Stop... Take a deep breath... But don't you quit. Success is failure turned inside out. The silver tint in your cloud of doubt.
You can never tell how close you are.
You may be near when it seems afar.
So stick to the fight when you're hardest hit.
It's when things go wrong when we must not quit.

What is my Sister's Keeper?
I am my sister's keeper, what she does, I do.
What she knows, I know.
If she is unable to do
So am I.
If she doesn't know it,
Neither do I.
We are as one-
All for one, one for all, or none.
I shall never forget this so long as I shall live.
Sigmas stick together,
Win together, lose together, and die together.
If I am able to keep this as my motto,
Then I can be a true Sigma.
