The other one that sticks in my head even more is:

The Owl, the key, the Fleur-de-Lis
Are all symbols of KKG
Don't you wish that you could be
A part of our family
Kappa Kappa Gamma
Wanna say I amma
Kappa Kappa Gamma
Sisters to the end!

I don't know the tune, but gosh its soo catchy..but hey i can remember all the lyrics to a song after singing it like twice so I remember most of them:)

boom boom boom boom
There'll be nothing but DGs
boom boom
For the one that I love
boom boom boom boom
There'll be nothing but DGs
With the anchor up above
With a shield of white
On the anchor bright
For every girl who pledges right
boom boom
There'll be but DGs
For the one that I love

Man, there are a LOT of boom boom songs!!!!!

We used this, but we had another one that was a variation and I wish I could remember the words. I only remember some, but what I do remember are:

Boom boom
wouldn't you like to be a sigma tri
boom boom
wouldn't you like to be a sigma tri
you can look low and you can look high
but you'll never find another like a sigma tri

dgdramadawg, I think yours is to the same tune as mine...:)

I think they all go to the same toon..atleast the last couple of them (exclude my Kappa cheer)...You could probably make up lyrics for every sorority.

LOLOL!! Sorry, but when you went through rush in 1970, calling something from the early '80s "really old" is just hilarious! I have shoes older...:D
Actually, I think the "boom boom" thing goes back to at least the 1920s or earlier...you know, "rah rah sis boom bah" from the days when students waved a felt pennant at the game. It would be an interesting entymological study.

i remember the ZTAs when i went through rush singing the same song, small differences of course:

boom boom there'll be nothing but zetas
boom boom for the one i love
boom boom there'll be nothing but zetas
with the five point crown above
with the zeta grey and the zeta blue
and the zeta love that's oh so true

Yes, I think we've found the "culprit" song. KDLady06, if you look on the KD website under the file cabinet (private side) it will show you the tune of this song, and most likely the same tune as the other songs, too. :p

Ewww! Bugs!

:p

Here's another ZTA variation:

Boom boom, I wanna go ZTA
Boom, boom I wanna wear blue and gray
Boom, boom, I wanna go Z-T-A, don't you?

Boom, boom, I wanna wear a crown of gold
Boom, boom, on Z-T-A I'm sold
Boom, boom, I wanna go Z-T-A, don't you?

I don't wanna be a member of any sorority
unless its the Z-T-A girls, (pause) Strawberries for me
Boom boom boom boom (repeat)

It's one of my favorite songs.

Theta Boom Boom
 

Our boom boom cheer is a little diff...

Boom Boom they'll be nothing but THETA
Boom Boom for the one that I love
Boom Boom they'll be nothing but THETA
and the twin stars up above
'Cus there's a Theta kite for every girl thats right
and two twin stars shinning down so bright
Boom boom they'll be nothing but Theta


its just repeats and there are hand motions for the "Theta kite" part

KATheta

Another ZTA one
 

One of my fave recruitment songs:

Boom Boom I'm Glad I'm a Z-T-A
Boom Boom Wouldn't have it any other way
Boom Boom I'm a Z-T-A to stay
Won't you come my way Boom Boom

Zeta love is good!
Won't you join our sisterhood?
If you'd like to stay
you can be a Z-T-A!

We have one, but it's apparently not as catchy as some of y'all's.

Hey look and see there's an Alpha Xi
and she wears a Quill of gold
She's mighty cute got brains to boot
And's not too shy or bold
She's got that style that winning smile
Just to be with her makes life worthwhile
Boom boom my honey, boom boom my honey
Boom boom go Alpha Xi.
Boom boom my honey, boom boom my honey
Boom boom go Alpha Xi.

One sister I knew from another campus always sang it as "she's might cute, wears go-go boots."

My chapter sang the boom boom song conniebama posted, but we substituted "Hey Hey" for the "Boom Boom" b/c the Tri-Deltas at our school sang a song that went "Ba-doom, Ba-doom, Tri-Delta" and we didn't want to impose. :) UCF is very big on door songs and having the PNMs memorize a song for each chapter.
