The hands on the clock are whispering tick tock
Now RUSH along....and remember this song...

thats all I remember. Anyone else know it?

Oh How I love those Alpha Gams,
So deep deep, so down down

SarahGrace mentioned the Theta song that always gets caught in PNMs heads - "There's a Kite Called a Theta Kite." I definitely went home singing it after I went through Pref. ;)

Here are 2 of my other favorite Theta exit songs:

Boom Boom

Boom Boom, there'll be nothin' but Theta
Boom Boom, for the one that I love
Boom Boom, there'll be nothin' but Theta
And the twin stars up above.
There's a Theta kite for every girl that's right
And two stars up above shining down so bright.
Boom Boom, there'll be nothin' but Theta
Boom Boom for the one that I love.

Remember the Black
We sing this one at Pref.

Remember the black dear,
Remember the gold.
Remember the story that's always been told.
Remember the bonds, so faithful and true.
Remember that Theta loves no one but you.

Once you have found her, You'll find heaven there.
And for the Thetas you can't help but care.
Remember she's with you wherever you are,
Just always look for the kite and twin stars.

Remember the Black & Gold dear,
Remember the kite we fly.
Remember, when you are old dear,
Theta's with you until you die.
Remember the twin stars shining throughout eternity.
And if you remember Theta,
She'll always remember thee.

There's a second verse too:

"Umm humm, and come September, umm humm I will remember
Ummhumm, our camping days and friendships tru-u-ue!
Umm humm, I wanna linger, umm humm a little longer,
Ummhumm, a little longer here with yoo-oo-ou!"

We sang this song all the time at camp......thanks for the memories, Glitter. :)

We sing the last verse as:

Mmmm mmmm, and as the years go by
Mmmm mmmm, we'll all look back and sigh
Mmmm mmmm, this is good night and not goodbye

That's the last verse we used, too.

It's pretty funny how many songs are universal!

Yeah, at my GS camp, we sang all three verses, with this as last, and the camping days second.

We sang that verse at camp too!!! OMG.......just thinking about "Linger" reminds me of the last night of camp every year, when we'd always have a big closing campfire with the whole camp, and we'd start out singing really loud, fun, "action" songs, and then we'd do more mellow, sentimental songs at the end, and by the time the campfire was over, and we all went to get our snacks and go to bed, a LOT of people (including me!!!) would be crying. Oh, and there was also a candle-lighting ceremony in the chapel on either the last night, or the second-last night of camp, just for the older girls (senior--age 13--right up to the female counsellors and senior staff). Basically, people would get up and do songs and poems about camp, and friendship and other stuff like that, and then at the end, we'd each get a candle with a piece of gimp tied around it, the person at the front (a counsellor) would light her candle, and then pass the flame to the person next to her, and so on, until all our candles were lit. We were told that if the wax dripped, that meant we'd be back.....the year I was sixteen, it was my last year of Leadership, and I really wanted to be a counsellor the next year, but I didn't get hired, and I was really upset about it, as I'd been going to that camp since I was ten, and I had so many friends and memories there.....heck, I still have the paddle I decorated in my last year. But you know what? My candle wax dripped, so maybe I will go back someday, you never know.

Edited to add: I'm sorry for hijacking your thread with my pointless story, lol.

This song is called Pass it on. It always makes me cry at Pref night.

A house thats filled with love, a sisterhood thats growing
Each time we leave this place we always come back knowing
we found the love of Alpha Gam. Once you've experienced it the feelings rare and one thats shared youll want to pass it on.
We're sisters old and new together now and always.
And when school days are through, we always come back knowing.
We found the love of Alpha Gam, Once you've experienced it the feeling's rare and one that shared, you'll want to pass it on.

Another song I love is-

We are the sisters of Alpha Gam
Alpha- Gamma-Delt-a
We want the whole wide world to know that we love our sisters so.
We love our colors we love our squirrels and our pearls too and our pearls too.
Our re and buff roses, everone knows that we love them we do, we love them we do.
In our hearts there's love and there's laughter. Sorority life is just what we're after, we want to tell. We want to tell ya- Welcome to Alpha Gamma Delt-a

We sang Linger at my GS camp as well. Our candlelight ceremony was really special too. It started with the camp director with only their candle lit and all the girls around the pool, and the camp director would read the first paragraph. After the first paragraph there was apause and the candlelight would be past from girl to girl. After the poem, the candles were left to float on the pool.

"a candle is but a simple thing
it starts with just a bit of string
yet dipped and dipped with patient hand
it gathers wax upon the strand
until complete and snowy white
it gives at last, a lovely light

life is so like that bit of string
each deed we do a simple thing
Yet day-by-day if on life's strand
We work with patient heart and hand
It gathers joy, makes dark days bright
And gives at last a lovely light."

I want to use that for final party SO FREAKING BADLY. The reason we used it at girl scout camp was to inspire the girls to become women. Even when I became a counselor, I cried every single time we had candlelight. Singing Taps and the camp song was always really really hard.

That's really beautiful, PhoenixAzul!!! :) You know, I think you should use it maybe for initiation if you want to (and if it's okay with the other girls in your chapter, of course), because if it can inspire young Girl Scouts to become women, then I think it could also have the power to inspire newly-initiated Tau Delta sisters to give their heart and soul to the sorority, or if you're using it for pref night, it could inspire the rushees to listen to their hearts, and do their best to become an asset to whichever group they choose in the end. By the way, I'm sorry if suggesting that you use that song for initiation crosses any kind of "secret ritual" boundaries, I just thought that since it's already meaningful to you, and appropriate for the situation, it'd be perfect.
