There was one song from rush that was good song but I thought it was sooo cheesy and annoying (you just can never get it out of your head!)

Oh Sigma Kappa, you're the best sorority
You stand for honor, friendship and loyalty
And as the years go by
Faithful we will be
Sigma Kappa, Sigma Kappa, Sigma Kappa, Sigma Kappa

And then we repeat it in around. It sounds great but dear god it is stuck in your head for weeks!!! Hmmm... maybe thats way we used it every year for Rush.

My fav song is to the tune "there's a tavern in the town"

We're Sigma Kappa girls (Sigma girls)
We wear the pin of golden pearls (golden pearls)

Thats the first two lines, I am having troubles remembering the rest but I loved that song!

We have always done
With a D and E and LTA
And a G-A-M-M-A
its delta gamma that what i amma
im delta gam born and delta gam bred and when i die ill be delta gam dead
so rah rah for dg
rah rah for dg
rah rah for good ole delta g

Also i got the
Gamma-Phi-Beta
Gamma-Phi-Beta
and then it went lower
Gamma-Phi-Beta
and then something elsei dont remember it all...i just remember going around singing it like crazy.

We also do Del-Ta Delta Gamma
im so happy that i amma
Del-ta Delta Gamma
with my sidekick
a little Hannah
when you see a DG walking
you will hear the others talking
how they wish that they could be
just like me
a little Dee Gee

a few years ago we had some sisters redo the lyrics to Nellys Ride With Me. it went somethin like this i think...

where they at (8x)

if you wanna go and take a ride wit me
to learn more 'bout the sisters of Delta Gee
and why that we feel this way
(HEYYY MUST BE DEE GEE)

if you wanna join a sorority
a feel of sisterhood like the girls of Delta Gee
and why that we feel this way
(HEYYY MUST BE DEE GEE)

in a new school, new town, feel so right
lookin, tryin ta spot someone real nice
lookin for a little place where i know i'll feel at home
(feel at home)
we can be hangin out (hangin out) on a friday night
or helpin the blind with service for sight
but as long as you got your friends girl, you know its on
(you know its on)
i see someone comin towrds me whos so much more
honest and real true
and sayin shes my sister is somethin that i love to do
im always there for you
and that aint nothin new
Dee Gee is friendship, loyalty, and sisters too
i like the way your always there
and i like those stylish letters you wear
i like the way you always seem to care
and i can see you smilin way over there

(repeat chorus)

I am gonna show my age now....
 

...but this song has stuck in my head since I first learned it at Southern Cal way back when in 1974 (gasp!:eek: ) -- I am not sure when we sang it because it does mention other GLOs, but it did stick in my brain all these years so we must have sung it alot!!!! Maybe it was for pinnings.....

I bet the younger GCer's won't even know who some of the ladies mentioned in this song are!

You take the legs of Brigitte Bardot
You take the hips of old Mae West
You take the face of Elke Somer
And from Sophia, take the chest
(We need the chest!)
Then you put them all together
They're neither Theta nor Pi Phi
Ya get more lovin' in this whole wide world
From a perfect Gamma Phi girl
(We really mean it!)
I'm a perfect Gamma Phi too!
Bah - doo - bah - doo!

:D :D :D


"THE WELCOME SONG"
(Sung on the front yard during rush to welcome rushees)

Gamma Phi Beta welcomes you here,
Come on and join our fun and our cheer.
We're on the U - S - C campus, fraternity row.
Gamma Phi shouts a welcome, hello!

Oh, Would you like to be another Gamma Phi,
And wear the crescent and pearls on high?
So come on along with me and I'll show you why
All over the land, number one's Gamma Phi!


"I LOVE THE CRESCENT MOON"
(we sang this in rounds during rush -- very catchy!)

I love the crescent moon, shining in the sky.
I love the pink carnation, 'til the day I die.
True to our motto: Founded on a rock.
Gamma Phi Beta, Gamma Phi Beta
Gamma Phi Beta, Gamma Phi Beta



"LOVE, LABOR, LEARNING AND LOYALTY "
(This usually produced a tear or two!)

Love, labor, learning and loyalty,
Gamma Phi Beta means so much to me.
There's a reason here for a reason above,
A lifetime of sisterhood flowing with love.

I've tucked away a song or two,
If you're feeling low there's one for you.
If you need a friend I'm always one,
And there's many more sisters where I come from.

Love grows strong with the crescent moon,
All our years together will pass too soon.
We'll be Gamma Phi's together and when we're gone
There'll be Gamma Phi's here to sing our song.

Cele, we sing that raunchy song - we usually bust it out for the "dorkier" fraternities or when we're really really bored. ;) I just learned the "G Phi, G Phi B, Gamma, Gamma Phi Beta" song from another chapter and I'm going to teach my girls so they can sing it during Homecoming/Greek Week. A lot of our events are held down at the rugby fields, which are down this huge hill, and most other sororities meet there and then do a chant - we like to ride down in the back of a few pick up truck singing and chanting!

That sounds kind of like our "Legs"

(To be sung in a circle with arms around each other, kicking Rockette style - but not quite so high!!)

Legs like Eva Gardner
A figure like Bardot
And when it comes to lovin
She will never let go

'Cause she's a Kappa (chi chi boom, chi chi boom, chi chi boom)
'Cause she's a Kappa (chi chi boom, chi chi boom, chi chi boom)
'Cause she's a Kappa Kappa Gamma, until the day she dies

And when she came to college
She caused quite a stir
The other girls were jealous
They were jealous of her

'Cause she's a Kappa (chi chi boom, chi chi boom, chi chi boom)
'Cause she's a Kappa (chi chi boom, chi chi boom, chi chi boom)
'Cause she's a Kappa Kappa Gamma, until the day she dies

(final ending, Buh duh duh duh DUMMMM - leaning sideways with jazz hands!)

Kind of cheesy, but it's tradition--we always sing it on Bid day, after initiation, on other fun days and at weddings! :)

This has just reminded me of another really annoying cheer we learned from the alums:

We are the Gamma Phis you hear about,
We are the girls the men can't live without.
And when they see us walking down the street,
They smile and sigh and cry "Oh my but she is neat."
So if you want the cutest one of all,
Short or tall, just call
123-4567 (our house phone number)...

Sorry, line's busy!


Cheesy, I know...we have another one that we do in a circle kicking, apparently they used to line up across main street and do it:

Oh Gamma Phi Beta, Oh Gamma Phi Beta,
Oh Gamma Phi Beta, you're the best sorority,
You're the only one for me. (I think, I always forget this line)
And you can surely bet, that I'm so glad we met,
I want to thank you for such happy memories.
C'mon and join along, c'mon and sing our song,
C'mon and jump right in and you'll be having fun,
Ask any guy you know, and he will tell you so,
The only way to go is dear ol' Gamma Phi!

How can the Alpha Gams forget this one?

Hay-dee Kay-dee kallawallawaydee
Kallawalla wingo dingo daydee
Oss kee wah wah sis boom bah
Alpha Gamma Delta
Rah! Rah! Rah!

.....I remember (30+ yrs ago!) the Chi O's had a song to the Rudy Vallee tune:
C-H-I, C-H-I, O-M-E-G-A
I looooveee you
C-H-I, C-H-I, O-M-E-G-A
Yes, I do
I love you in the morning when the sun is shining bright
I love you in the evening when the moon is {? ?}
C-H-I, C-H-I, O-M-E-G-A
I love you!

and the Alpha Chi's had a song to "Witch doctor"
that had the chorus
A-L-P-H-A
C-H-I, Omega
A-L-P-H-A
C-H-IOmega

And this one:

Rip, ram, relta
Al-pha Gam-ma Del-ta!
Rip, ram, rip, ram
Three cheers for Alpha Gam!

During rush the only one that stuck in my head were Chi O songs:

Everybody wants to be a Chi Omega,
Everybody knows that we're RED HOT,
Everybody wants to be like Chi Omega,
All that we can tell them is we're HOT!
RED HOT (CHI O) RED HOT (CHI O)
EVERYBODY WANTS TO GO CHI O!

Goodnight rushees, well it's time to go
(Buh duh duh duh dum)
We hope to see you tomorrow!
(Buh duh duh duh dum)
We really hope that you go CHI O!
So goodnight, Rushees, goodnight!

And now having gone through rush on the other side the song I can't shake is:

Hello, Hello, He-llo, Hello
We are the sisters of Chi O
We want the whole wide world to know,
The very best girls go Chi O!

We love the cardinal,
We love the Straw.
Skull and Bones too
Skull and Bones too.
Our white carnation
Is a sensation,
We love it we do,
We love it we do.

In our hearts there's joy, there's laughter,
Sorority life is just what we're after!
We love it so,
and wouldn't you know,
It's the Chi O sororityyyyyy HEY!

Ditto, Sister CardinalSM! Hey, how about this one (sung to the John Jacob Jingleheimer melody):

C-H-I-O-M-E-G-A...
Please say you'll be one too...
Whenever we are near...
You know good times are here
We're the C-H-I-O-M-E-G-A's!
Ya-Da-Da-Da-Da-Da
(First time-loud, clap) (Second time-softer, snap) (Third time- whisper, bounce)

wow, if I had heard that one it never would have left my head!

A Chi-O song got stuck in my head this year while I was a Rho Gamma and was on their porch for 5 strait parties!

Everybody want to go- Chi-O
Round here its the very best thing,
All you wanna do is go Chi O
and listen to the Chi O's sing, were singin
Do-Do, Do-do-wah-wah, Do-Do, do-do- wah -wah
Do-do, do-do wah wah, Do do wah wah, CHI - O

and theres one AOII song that I heard recently from another chapter that I haven't been able to forget.. I just know the chorus though,

Momma's little baby loves Alpha Omicron
Mommas little baby loves A-O-Pi
Mommas little baby loves Alpha Omicron
Mommas little baby loves A-O-Pi

it was too cute.

D-e-l-t-a Delta D-e-l-t-a
G-a-double m-a Gamma G-a-double m-a
We are the Delta Gammas
We are the ones for you
WOO
We are the Delta Gammas
Don't you wanna be a DG too?

A-A-A to the Xi
Xi-Xi-Xi to the D
A to the Xi
Xi to the D
Alpha Xi Delta

alllllll day and night, running through my head on constant rotation ;)

Every time I see this thread, I think of the same thing. Do you know the one rush song that you use year after year, until you're absolutely sick to death of it? Ours was

Pi, Pi, ADPi!
Like it, Love it
ADPi!
Want it, Need it,
Gotta repeat it!
I just love that ADPi!

Anyhow, one of my fondest college memories is of one of those "You had to be there nights" out on the town. One of my favorite Tri-Deltas was standing on a table, juggling, and singing "Pi, Pi, ADPi!..." at the top of her lungs!

I had dated her brother, and he had to console me when she went Tri-Delta - maybe it's because she was a rush crush that it's so vivid!

Re: Re: he's a theta?
 

Yep! We still do it. :) It's:

We are the Gamma Phi Betas,
We'd like to tell you that we're so glad you're here.
We're sisters ever true,
Friendships for me and for you.
We'd like to take this chance
To welcome you, Gamma Phi Beta, Gamma Phi Beta, Gamma Phi Beta girls!

Re: Re: Re: he's a theta?
 

NOW I know what song everybody was talking about! We call that Flip-Flop. Last year we performed it at RLC with about 100 sisters, it was soo much fun.

Baylor Chi O's had this really cute one: You have to see all the hand movements and decorations, and the rest of the skit to appreciate how adorable this is!!!

Chi Omega choo choo, Chi Omega choo choo, Chi Omega choo choo, one for you. THen they do it backwards......choo choo Omega Chi, choo choo Omega Chi, choo choo Omega Chi, you for one!!!! they had this whole train type theme, super cute. It's kinda hard to explain, but it's stuck in my head, five years later!!!!

Kd has almost that exact song!!!

COPYRIGHT INFRINGEMENT!!! ;)

My chapter of AXiD has that song, too! We did it during rush this year, and my friend who was a Gamma Chi said that that was the song all the Gamma Chis had in their heads all week. I know it gets stuck in my head reaaaaaaaaaaally easily!

The only chant I really remember from rush was one that Phi Mu did. I can't remember the whole thing, just the part that goes:

"Ba do, ba do, ba doop,
Go Phi Mu"

My sisters who went through rush with me still find ourselves doing that one every now and then.

The only cheer that we do that I can think of right now that hasn't already been mentioned is our chapter cheer. We do it for almost every event we have, LOL. We spit it out so fast that no one but us ever actually knows what we're saying!

"Delta, Delta, Delta Zeta,
We're the best,
There's no one greater!
If you watch us,
You will see
The number-one sorority!
Delta, Delta, Delta Zeta,
Delta, Delta, Delta Z!
Hey!
Whooo!"

hehe

yep, I'm pretty sure our KD's did it too :)

and I LOVE Pi, Pi, ADPi...I wish my chapter did it :(

... when I was a'growin' high
Always wanted ADPi
Even then I always knew
How much I loved that white and blue!!!!!

.... Pi Pi ADPi was one of my fav songs to sing during our Spirit Week!!!!

...A-L-P-H-A
D-E-L-T-A
P-I Pi Oh My ALPHA DELTA PI!!! Woo :)

Get me as a spirit chair, and even when I go back as an alumna to help with recruitment I have to be in charge of leading the entire chapter in our cheers! :cool:

Not sure if this has already been mentioned.. but here is one of my favorites..

Pi Phi wishes you goodnight
With wine and blue and arrows bright
with wine and blue and arrows bright

its song in two rounds.. its sounds so nice and the tone easily sticks in your head..

I always get other sororities intramural yells or whatever in my head. Pi Phis are so funny (not in a bad way at all!!!) when they yell PI BETA!!!! It's just cute. I heard somewhere this one>......
ZE, ZETA, ZTA, Zeta Tau Alpha...ZE, ZETA, ZTA, Zeta Tau Alpha. Anyway.............and my personal faveorite intramural pick me up, let's go kick some booty chant: "Alpha Delta, Alpha Delta, Alpha Delta PI!!!!!!!! (Alpha Chi also does this.......)

The ADPi song that is always in my head especially through recruitment is:

**something starts it but i can't think of it for the life of me right now***
I love my A Dee Pi
I love my A A Dee Dee Pi
I love it I love it I love it.

One of my favorite DG songs is:

Delta Oohhhh
Gamma Uh huh Uh huh

Delta Oohhhh
Gamma Uh huh Uh huh

Delta G-A-M-M-A, Delta Gamma, come on and lets say...

Delta Oohhhh
Gamma Uh huh Uh huh

Songs that stuck with me throughout recruitment
 

KD:
Enie meeni minie mo, KD girls are on the go
When the hollar GO KD, enie meeni minie mo
Kappppaa Delt..............those KD's are the Best
Kappppaa Delt........the best of all the rest
Kappa Delt, Kappa Delt, Kappa Delt

Chi O:
Chi Omega, Chi chi Chi omega
So long remember us, we hope you go Chi O
Do do do , do do do wop wop......etc!

Tridelt and DG always had the catchy ones with their names spelled out Too.

This year I was on Panhellenic here at State (MS, that is!). Here are some of my favorites from our campus:

Kappa Delta

We are the K D, Kaydee,
Kappa Delta is the one for me!
That's why I'm singing with all my might...
Loyalty forever to the green and white!

Chi Omega

If you wanna be a Chi-O here's all you've gotta do.
Just give your heart to Chi-O and she'll give it back to you...
Soooooo put a little Chi O in your walk,
Aaaaaand a little bit a Chi-O in your talk,
Aaaaand you'll be a Chi-O too, (XO!)
You'll be a Chi-O at MSU!!!

Tri Delta

Welcome rushee from your host,
We are the best from coast to coast....
(Something here I don't remember)
That's why we say that Tri Delt's for you!
(Chanted at the end....Don't try the others, TRY DELT!!!)

Zeta Tau Alpha

The Zeta goodbye song that has already been mentioned several times completely stuck with me!!!

I don't remember Delta Gamma's but I have saved my personal favorite for the last....

PHI MU!!!

My Phi Mu lady, won't you be my baby?
You know I love you, indeed I do!
And in the spring time, it will be ring time,
in a cottage just built for 2, 4, 6, 8, 10.
You know I love you, and I want you only,
Can't you hear me saying that I love you true?
My Phi Mu Lady, won't you be my baby, my Phi Mu lady I love you!!!

Sang repeatedly faster and then slower!!!

SOrry so long!

Hey HannahGirl...it goes...

Deep in my heart
I love my ADPi
I Love my A-A D-D Pi
I love it, I love it, I love it...

We're the K A PP A GA MM A

*That song just repeated itself over and over in my head for the longest time*

Chi Omega
* We are Chi Omega
we are RED HOT!
We are Chi Omega
we are RED HOT!
RED HOT!
CHI O!
RED HOT!
CHI 0!
Everyone wants to be a..

When I went through rush this year, these were the songs that we sang.

Theta- K-A-P-P-A A-L-P-H-A T-H-E-T-A
Kappa Alpha Theta
Go Theta go Theta

Zeta- Zeta Zeta Zeta Zeta Z-T-A

Ba-doom-ba-doom Tri-Delta

Pi Phi- I really couldn't tell you because it confused me.. but it is the one that goes.. me for Pi for Beta Phi for I just love Pi Beta Phi

DG- D-G Delta G

Chi-O- Chi Omega

Kappa- The Owl the Key the Fleur-di-lis are symbols of KKG
Don't you wish that you could be part of our family?
Kappa Kappa Gamma wanna say I am a
Kappa Kappa Gamma
Sisters til the end!

KD- This is another one that is hard for me to remember.. it went something like..
Kay-Dee Kay-Dee
Everybody go KD!
But there was definitely more to the song.

ADPi- Hey Hey I wanna go ADPi
Hey Hey and baby that ain't no lie
Hey Hey I wanna go ADPi
Don't you don't you?
Hey Hey I wanna wear the white and blue
Hey Hey and that diamond too
Hey Hey I wanna go ADPi
Don't you don't you?
No doubt there is no other
So come on in and see
Sisterhood we got it
ADPi for you and me
Hey hey hey hey

Alpha Xi- Can't remember but it went something like
Alpha Xi Alpha Xi
AZD sorority
Don't you wish that you could be an Alpha Alpha Alpha Xi

I know the song you're talking about. Honestly, yeah it confuses us too! Does this sound close to it?

Pi Pi Beta Phi, P-I P-H-I, Pi Phi
Me for, Pi for, Beta Phi for
I just love Pi Beta Phi!
When I was just knee high
I knew I'd go Pi Beta Phi
Even though I never knew
How much I'd love that wine and blue
Pi Pi Beta Phi, P-I P-H-I, Pi Phi
Me for, Pi for, Beta Phi for
I just love Pi Beta Phi!

Shoot...those girls must have practices that song for hours! It's definitely a tongue twister.

Haha...it confuses our chapter so much that we just sing up until I just love Pi Beta Phi. I didnt even know there was more...we just keep repeating that little part.

LOL We usually only do the small part as well. I think I'm one of the only girls who knows the whole song. We learned it at our new member retreat, but it's just too confusing to sing the whole thing!

I would also like to say that our "Pepsi Song" and "Hey Everybody" songs always stick out in my head.

That Pi Pi Beta Phi song I think is the same as one we do (from the words, it looks like it!)
Pi Pi ADPi,
like it love it ADPi,
Want it need it gotta repeat it,
I just love that ADPi.
When I was a growin high, always wanted adpi,
even then i always knew how much i loved that white and blue.
etc etc etc.

It was really funny when we did this song the first time bc some ofthe older members said it sounded like we were saying, When i was a getting high.......always wanted adpi!! hahahahahaha that's funny.

Interesting
 

I sang that linger song as a little girl when i was in Brownies and Girl Scouts.

are you talking about the adpi linger song? i don't know if i remember that in girl scouts, but it's one of my faveorite adpi songs!
