Alma Mater

On the eastern plains of South Dakota

Where the sunshine is ever near,

There's a college we are proud to honor,

Whose name to us is dear,

Cheer her on to Victory, now your voices rais,

For her colors blue and bold, sing praise,

Dakota State University, Dakota State University,

True and loyal to thy name forever,

Nothing from our hearts they love can sever.

Hail to the college, may thy spirit live,

Our alma mater, DSU.
