the only chant I remember is from Tri Sigma and it goes:

"S, S, S-I-G
G, G, G-M-A
S-I-G
G-M-A
SIGMA SIGMA SIGMA, HEY!"

and the song I remember is from Alpha Xi:

"Alpha Xi Delta is our cry
come inside and we'll tell you why
(Alpha Xi) Those Alpha Xi's are the best
(Alpha Xi) the best of all the rest
(Alpha Xi) Those Alpha Xi's are the best
(Alpha Xi) the best of all the rest
Alpha Xi, Alpha Xi, Alpha Xi Delta!"

My friend goes to USC and ALWAYS used to walk around singing this one until it got stuck in my head:

Boom boom there'll be nothing but THETA
Boom boom for the girls we looove
Boom boom there'll be nothing but THETA
See the twin stars up above
There's black and gold
There's friendships old
There's Theta pins
For the girls we win
Boom Boom there'll be nothing but THETA
Boom Boom for the girls we looove

Boom Boom
Boom Boom
Boom Boom Boom Boom
Boom Boom
Boom Boom
Boom Boom Boom Boom

THETA THETA THETA THETA
I wanna be
I wanna be a
Be a
Be a
Theta now
Right here at USC
We wear our black and gold
For everyone to see
So when you're thinkin' hey hey
What should I do
Just remember that
Theta loves YOU!

The Call of Zeta!

I hear the call of Zeta,
it always is within me,
and keeps me ever loyal
to my fraternity.
The (something I don't remember)
the (more stuff I don't remember)
are emblems of the true love
that keeps me Z T A.

That song gets stuck in my head ALL the time.

That song sticks in my brain sometimes, too!

Thanks - it's only been 26 years since I heard it! :)

TriSig was next door to us and my bedroom overlooked their porch. I have learned quite a few by accident. I think the one that sticks in my head the most is:

T-R-I,
T-R-I-S-I-G-M-A-S
Oh yes
Sigmas are the best

And when I was a Rho Chi we learned different songs for all the GLOs on campus. I don't remember all the words, but the Sigma Kappa one with the hand motions and talking about "the mystic bonds" was one of my favs.

The kd and the dz at my school both do this chant and it always gets stuck in my head

"We are the kappa deltas, don't you wanna be a kd too, don't you wanna be a kd too"


or

"we are the delta zetas, don't you wanna be a dz too, dont you wanna be a dz too"


of the Phi Mu chants, this one always gets stuck in my head

"i wanna be a phi mu a phi mu
way deep deep
way down down
way deep deep
way down down in my heart, whooo!"

The one that sticks in my head is: I am a T... I am a T-R... I am a T-R-I-D-E-L-T-A... we are the B-E-S-T best of the R-E-S-T rest I am a T-R-I-D-E-L-T-A!!! Not very panhellenic but it's the one that stuck.

I loved one of the Phi Mu songs: Give our regards to kappa, remember us to theta too, tell all the girls at the Chi Omega house they won't be seeing you. Tell them that you've been longing, to join a band of girls so true. Give our regards to ADPi and tell them you're gonna pledge PHI MU. (give our regards to broadway tune)
Also, Theta had a cute song - I came to school as green as green could be. Lord knows I must have been a legacy. cause Theta took me in, and my new life here began, Theta made a lady out of me.

32 years since Rush for me, but I still remember:

I'm a DZ, she's a DZ, we're all DZ's, If you love Delta Zeta, you're a DZ, too---Be a DZ, Be a Be a DZ!

Oh Delta Gamma, That's what I am a
Delta Gamma, oh Delta Gamma--DG, DG!

We are ADPi's, Ra Dee Do Da
Alpha Delta Pi's, Ra Dee Do Da
And we love our sisters, truly--Ra Dee Do, Ra Dee Do Da!

Last but forever first in my mind & heart---

Boom Boom, I want to be a Pi Beta Phi
Boom Boom and Honey, That ain't no lie
Boom Boom I want to be a Pi Beta Phi, Don't you?
I want to wear the arrow, and the wine and blue,
I want to find the friendships that are so very true
Boom Boom I want to be a Pi Beta Phi
Don't You, don't you, don't you, won't you?

I used to sing these songs in the shower getting ready each day of rush!

Also--from Bid Night:

Give my regards to DG, remember me to KKG, Tell all the girls down at the Theta house they won't be seeing me. Tell them that I am yearning to shoot my golden arrow high-- Give my regards to all the rest, and tell them
I just pledged Pi Phi! :)

Oh, Wait--I forgot what was probably the best one on campus (University of Kentucky) at the time:

How ya gonna keep um down on the Farm, After they've seen KD?
How ya gonna keep um away from College, they'll love it so, that is if they go KD and after they discover that certain charm the boys all seem to know
They'll never want to date another College girl, They'll only want to date a
Kappa Delta girl!!
Come back and pin me,
RaDeeDoDa
After they've seen KD!

Me, too!

Ugh, I never did like that one!

We did this one, with ADPi, of course:

Boom Boom, I want to go ADPi
Boom Boom, and Baby that ain't no lie
Boom Boom, I want to go ADPi - Don't You?
Boom Boom, I want to wear white and blue
Boom Boom, and wear that diamond too!
Boom Boom, I want to go ADPi - Don't you?
We really are the sisters
Known for Loyally
We can't be beat on friendship
It's ADPi for me!
Boom Boom, I want to go ADPi
Boom Boom, and Baby that ain't no lie
Boom Boom, I want to go ADPi
Don't you, don't you, don't you - won't YOU?

But the one that drives me absolutely crazy is whenever I hear someone say "bye bye":

Bye bye, bye bye
Wipe a tear, baby dear, don't cry!
We hate to see you go!
You'll soon be back we know!
Don't cry, don't sigh
Won't do to be blue, ADPi
Cheerio ring-ding, bon soir we sing
Boom da de boom, BYE BYE!

Everyone in my office now knows that one! :rolleyes:

if you wanna be a chi o this is all you have to do
give your heart to chi o and she'll give it back to you

-thats all i remember but it was such a cute song :)

missing words: The turquoise and the silver,
Our flower and our motto
Are emblems of a true love
That makes us ZTAs.
