lol right on, neither would my brothers that are in it

I apologize for not thanking AE.BOT. for his kind posting of this new song. Thanks very much.

It is a very interesting composition. It will take some studying, moreover I think I will probably need to hear it with the tune in order to synch up on the unusual phrasing. (If you think this one is tough, try to imagine what Marching Along sounds like just from the words!)

It is funny to think that the first Beta songbook came from a contest. It has been a while since I read wither one, but I seem to recall that the last "red" songbook still had one of those from that first song book. Note I mean the book, not the very ancient "card"... a dangerous thing, if you ask me - the kind of thing that will make you grab your tie!

Doctor Thursday (whoever you are),

If you wish to listen to the song, I made a slideshow that plays with the song and posted it on myspace, so you can go to http://www.myspace.com/___kai___ and listen to it there. Who are you anyway?

I didnt know it was a contest, thats interesting, what kind of contest. You are refering to the Western Reserve book correct?

pretty close to what i have.

There comes a time in the life of every man
To make the choice if they’ll join the Beta band
Now we are in and we shall lead the way
For the Betas who will come another day
From time to time we will slip and maybe fall
But there to help us will be Betas, one and all
Now every brother of Beta Theta Pi
Proudly stand and rejoice in your oasis cry

Chorus:
And all you brothers unite
And we will follow the light
That guides us deep into the depths of phi kai phi
And all the memories we share
These Beta bonds will not tear
For all eternity the Beta Badge is what we will wear

Forever and in everything we do
We’ll be respected as the men who were always true
From 1839 through the day we die
We’ll be linked together in Beta Theta Pi
Now every brother of Beta Theta Pi
Proudly stand and rejoice in your voices cry

Chorus

And there’s a love that you’ll find
In the hands of the guide of Beta Theta Pi
And by the time that binds the beta brothers shine
You’ll find us deep within the depths of phi kai phi

Chorus

So later on in your life
When you’ll have three kids and a wife
But when you walk right by
You’ll brush your bow and he’ll grab his tie

Chorus
