Why do Delta women collect elephants & ducks?
The reason behind why Delta’s collect ducks is currently unknown, but it is known there is a duck stage within DST’s pledge process. But it is not public information around the symbolism behind the duck. It is known that Delta women collect elephants since one of the founders of DST was fond with the animal. So as a tribute they collect elephants as a tribute to their founders. It’s tradition that once you cross the buring sands into Delta Land that the first 22 elephants that you acquire must be gifts. One representing each founder.
