Favorite Rush Cheer or Chant?
 
Okay ADPis what was your favorite ADPi Rush Cheer or Chant? We had the most success with "Boom Boom". Also, "When those ADPi girls fall in Line" was pretty popular. But I have to say the sisters would really tear it up with "Boom Boom."

Good luck duing Rush ADPis!

Carrie7777 08-14-2002 01:57 PM

We also do "Boom, Boom" I like that one but my favorite is
A-L-P-H-A,
D-E-L-T-A,
P-I
A-D-PI
ALPHA DELTA PI WHOO
ALPHA DELTA PI WHOO

There's more to it but i forgot it, I guess i will re-learn it during spirit week though. :p

violets 08-15-2002 07:08 PM

Yes, you'll definitely be cheering like crazy during spirit week!
That is so much fun!!!
Have a great time.
And good luck during Rush...let me know how it goes!

Go Alpha Delta Pi!

ADpiSWT 12-12-2002 04:19 AM

We have a lot of chants because that is that ADPi's are known for... I don't know if I actually have a favorite, maybe one that is the most tiring! here are a few..

A (pause) L-P-H-A
D (pause) E-L-T-A
P (pause) A PI AM I
ALPHA DELTA PI

We're the girls in white and blue
want to say hello to you
We're glad that you came by
To meet an ADPI
We're out to do our best
Better than all the rest
No matter what the test
We're telling you
And in our hearts we know
That everywhere we go
ADPi will always shine
All of the time
Hey!

adpiucf 12-12-2002 03:18 PM

Boom Boom is great! We had to change it a little so instead of Boom Boom we say Hey Hey (the Tri-Deltas have a song that goes Ba-doom, Ba-doom, and it sounded too much like we might be trying to step on their turf).

Do any of you sing "Bye Bye" as a chant when they're leaving? To this day, that song is forever burned in my head. If someone says bye bye, my brain kicks into-- "wipe a tear baby dear from your eye-hi, we hate to see you go, you'll soon be back we know-oh..."

nauadpi 12-12-2002 04:55 PM

Our big goodbye song is:

Badubadu....
ADPi says goodbye to you...Badubadu
Hope yall miss us cause will miss you too...Badubadu
Up till now its been a lot of fun
Adpi adpi is number one

We here are also big fans of Boom Boom

honeychile 12-12-2002 05:24 PM

Boom Boom seems to be universal!! :D

We also did "We the girls in white and blue" and "Grandma was an ADPi" alot. As I read threads on Greek Chat, I realize that there's a LOT of sororities who can't say that their grandmothers were in their sorority!

One thing we did during rush (that they're not allowed to do anymore!): AI is on the 10th (top) floor, so after Pref, a sister would get into the elevator with the pnms, and "accidently" hit all the floors. What they didn't know was that all the ADPis were running down the stairs, and by the time the pnms hit the lobby, we were singing to them again! It really knocked their socks off!

Hi Zeta Omega Sister!

Who's your diamond sis? Do you live at the house? :) I used to live in room 10 with your current social adviser, Julia! Now I live in LA! I can't wait to come home for the holiday and take my traditional drive down Greek Row! Has SAE decorated Leo for Christmas?

Another tradition- are you guys still singing the door chant for video day that goes to the tune of "We are the members of the girls' all-american league?" What are the words?

Alum Love!

dnll7272 12-17-2002 12:48 AM

Hey ADPi UCF!
 
My <> is Lennee Harrell, she is a Senior this year. I do not live in the house. Out treasurer currently is in room 10.

Yes, SAE has the lion painted as Santa. very cute!

And we are still singing that chant
"We are the members of thhe All American league we come from cities near and far, ,we got Canadian woohoo Floridains, We're Greek we're all for one, one for all, we're Alpha Delta PI.

E-mail me sometime, my address is dnll7272@yahoo.com
TT love and all mine

ADPiViolets 12-20-2002 12:01 AM

the coolest chant EVER
 
I have one, that is my absolute FAVORITE!


We form a circle around one sister (who can yell very well) and we all stomp our feet and clap in time.

The leading sister yells:
"I say let me hear that Pi Spirit!"
We say:
"What say you say?"
Leading sister yells:
"I said let me hear that Pi Spirit!"
We say:
"What say you say?"
Leading Sister yells:
"I said let me hear that Pi Spirit!"
We say:
"What say you say?"
Everyone yells and claps in time:
"Alpha Delta Pi! Alpha Delta Pi! Alpha Delta Pi! Ugh! One more time!"
"Alpha Delta Pi! Alpha Delta Pi! Alpha Delta Pi! Ugh! One more time!"

Then usually someone will say, "let's do it again!" And we do. :)

I really wish I could actually show you this chant in person. I absolutely LOVE this one! I am sure that by typing it out right here, it doesn't seem as awesome as it does when we're actually doing it.
;)

dnll7272 12-20-2002 12:22 AM

i got another one
 
I also love this one!!!

Give me an "A"
A i got your A i got your A

Give me a "D"
D i got your D i got your D

Give me a "Pi"
Pi i got you Pi I got you Pi

Hush...you don't wanna mess with us do ya do ya
Woooo!

adpiucf 01-27-2003 01:13 AM

One more! At UCF, each sorority has their own cheer called "the hottie"-- I know other schools probably do this or some kind of variation....

A! (This "A" is held for a long time while all the sisters run to join in, arms raised in a motion that I can only explain as the FSU Seminole Chop, done really fast and the chant is said really quickly).... ok where was I?

A!
ADPi! ADPi! Live and Die for ADPi!
We're the Heart and Pride and Part of ADPi! Hey!

Hottie Tottie!
Hottie Tottie-Gosh Almighty-Who the Hell am I?
Flim Flam-By Damn-I'm an ADPi!

(Then, everyone screams and cheers-- totally gets the adrenaline going; we do this after Recruitment selection, candlelightings, intramurals, or whenever we're all together and feeling really good about our sisterhood.)

:)

:)

I *loved* learning Hottie Tottie!!! (though someone said other chapters do "Roooooooar" instead of AAAAAAaaaaaaaaay! I like Aaaaaay!) Being the equivalent of an alum initiate and learning, like, seven new songs within three days was a bit overwhelming, and this one is FAST!

I also liked Grandma was an ADPi (we usually skipped mom), and We got your A, and "A, A, A to the D"

But what's Boom Boom? I don't know if I've heard that one!


Dumb question-- can NPC groups sing drinking songs (unofficially, of course, since I'm sure we can't officially!)?

adpiucf 01-27-2003 09:09 PM

I honestly don't know of a policy, per se, but it's probably something you do and don't mention to NPC-- those gray areas. Somehow, though, I think if anyone wants to swap these songs from Greek Chat, those are probably better left to private messaging :)

My chapter of initation has no drinking songs, but the chapter I advise does-- they are hysterical, but they never directly mention the sorority's name-- instead, they refer to violets, deltas, etc.

Regardless, there are some fun songs out there-- all the more reason to enjoy being a member of the BEST sorority!

Okay, I may be corrected, but here's how we sang Boom Boom. First, everyone clicks their fingers on a steady 1-2 beat, with hands going back & forth:

Boom Boom - I wanna go ADPi
Boom Boom - And baby, that ain't no lie!
Boom Boom - I wanna go ADPi
Don't you? (click, click, click)

Boom Boom - I wanna go white and blue
Boom Boom - And wear that Diamond true!
Boom Boom - I wanna go ADPi
Don't you? (click, click, click)

We really are the sisters
Known for loyalty.
We can't be beat on friendship
It's ADPi for me!

Boom Boom - I wanna go ADPi
Boom Boom - And baby, that ain't no lie!
Boom Boom - I wanna go ADPi
Don't you? Don't you? Don't you? Won't YOU?!


It really gets the blood pumping during rush, plus has the visual. A non-rush song we did that I liked was "I want you to know". Does anyone else remember the words to that? I'm sure it changes from chapter to chapter, to use the other sororities' names.

tommi026 01-28-2003 04:17 AM

hey adpiucf and dnll!!!!
 
yay for the hottie!!!! i love it so much, i want to win stuff just to be able to do it! but nothings more fun than making fun of the guys hotties, especially sae's. they sound like their sufficating or something. hehe

pi luv, lauran

We had a really terrible experience with a TCC, and were very wary of the one that came the next year. Just to break down the barriers, she told us some *ahem* songs that became the basis for our "Unofficial Underground SongBook"!! One sister took the time to make copies of all the ADPi songs, plus some fraternity songs, and put them in the catagories of Good, Bad, and Ugly!

Wonder if there are any copies floating around...?

Our chapter uses this cheer during recruitment, as the potential members are entering the room. It is so fun!

sweetie adpi 02-26-2003 07:01 PM

my new favorite that we learned from our tcc this spring during recruitment is a chant from usc i think... it's called hope you know and it kinda sounds like the fraggle rock song -- it goes:

hope you know
hope you know
hope you know we want you to go
alpha delta pi
xx
hope you know
(hope hope) (there are arm movements here, from side to side)
hope you know
(you know) (arm movements from shoulders up here)
hope you know we want you to go
alpha delta pi
(what what?)
alpha delta pi!!!

polarpi 03-13-2003 08:35 PM

In addition to Hottie, Let me hear your Pi Spirit, Boom Boom (Kate, we did this one, sort of :D), and Give me an A, we also did these this past January (when I came back as an alumna to help out with recruitment)

Who who who am I?
I'm an Alpha Delta Pi
Who who who am I?
A D PI (whoo!)
*** This was a great cheer for right after the women left (since they were all in the hallway outside our door!)

The S is for Super
The U is for Unique
The P is for Pi and you know we can't be beat
The E is for Excellence
The R is for Refined
We are number 1 so keep that in mind
Super Pi (uh uh uh-uh)
Super Pi (uh uh uh-uh)

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
A-L-P-H-A
D-E-L-T-A
P-I Pi O My
Alpha Delta Pi (whoo!)

At the end of the Give me an A cheer, our TCC taught us a new ending, that went (instead of shh, hush...)
Now what does that spell?
A-D-PI
I can't hear you!
A-D-PI
ADPi once, ADPi twice,
ADPi all the time sure is nice
Ohhhh, yeah!

I think these were all the ones we used, but if I think of anymore, I'll make sure to post them (can you tell I used to be the spirit chair of our chapter? :D)

ASUADPi 04-11-2003 01:32 AM

I have to agree with pretty much everyone who mentione "Boom Boom", that is my favorite rush song.
I also really like the songs "Linger" and "Come One and All and Listen".

LauraPhoenix 04-11-2003 03:51 PM

Pi Pi ADPi
Like it Love it ADPi
Want it need it gotta repeat it

A-L-P-H-A

It's weird that this is like the only song I can ever really remember. I'm in trouble when I go through Jewel Degree....there is a lot I don't remember

kellbell 04-19-2003 07:28 PM

same cheers!
 
hello adpi's...i'm actually a pi phi and have some great adpi friends here (great chapter at u.tennessee, knoxville) but i'm writing because i think it's neat that we have some of the same cheers...like "boom boom" and "pi pi adpi" of course it's changed to pi phi and some small words are different-but i just though that was neat. good luck to all chapters!

honeychile 11-20-2004 11:32 PM

I just re-read this thread, and had to tell y'all something:

I was at work about a month ago or so, and as someone was leaving, she said, "Bye bye!" (no tune or anything) To the surprise of my coworkers, I burst out into "Bye bye, bye bye, wipe a tear, baby dear, from your eye..."

Ah, there really is something to that

ADPI UNTIL I DIE!!!

ADPiZXalum 11-22-2004 01:33 PM

Linger..........I will sing it to my babies one day

adpiucf 11-22-2004 05:41 PM

Whenever anyone says "bye bye," the "bye bye" chant starts in my head! It never fails!

ADqtPiMel 11-22-2004 06:02 PM

My chapter does more songs than chants...I guess it's our campus environment, since most chapters seem to do songs.

Last year we did "It's True It's Blue" and it went over really well.

prinzessgena 12-21-2004 11:22 PM

Hey Sisters,

My favorite is HEAR THAT LION ROAR

It goes

"Hear that Lion Roar,
hear that great lion Roar
and forever in ALphie Believe,
He's the spirit of
our truth and love,
a symbol that helps us achieve,
ever sister shares in the badge that we wear
as we reach for goals so hiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiighhhhhhhhhhh
with unity and loyalty
we all live for our ADPIIIIII IIIIIE

Gena

ladypi 12-22-2004 02:04 PM

We used to sing our version "American Pi" at rush:

Long long time ago
I can still remember when those pi girls used to make me smile
and I knew at first glance
that ADPi could be my chance
to make me happy for a while

But the rush week made me shiver
with every party they delivered
with promises of friendship
was i ready for this?

I can remember when I left
With ADPis among the best
but something touched me from the start
the day...ADPi stole my heart

And they were singing
Byebye Miss American Pi
Good to see you
Glad to meet you
Hope that we caught your eye
We hope these times we shared will never pass you by
We really hope you choose adpi
We really hope you choose adpi!

ADPi Conniebama 01-02-2005 08:25 PM

I guess that some cheers are just for the chapter itself but any chapter with the same beat for their university could use this one

ADPi Conniebama 01-06-2005 08:58 PM

here is a good rush song
 
go adpi (let me hear you say)
Go A d pi (let me hear you say)
GO A D Pi (let me hear you say)
alpha beta gamma delta epsilon zeta eta
theta iota kappa lambda mu nu zi
omicron pi rho sigma tau upsilon
phi chi xi omega (let me hear you say)
go a d pi (let me hear you say)

GO ADPi

(sounds better when you sing it then when you type it and it really helps the new alphas to learn the greek alphabet)

ADPi Conniebama 01-06-2005 09:09 PM

one more song i love
 
oh when an adpi walks down the street
she's got that hundred perr from head to feet
she's got that smile that style that winning way
and when you look at her you'll recognize her way,
you'll say now theres a girl I'd like to know
she's got that alpha delta pep and go (pep and go)
to look at her is such a treat, its hard to beat,
an alpha delta pi

oh when those adpi girls fall in line
a happier bunch of girls you'll never find
for alpha delta pi we'll sing and sing
for alpha delta pi we'll sing and sing and sing
and so its hail hail hail to all the frats
of course they're all alright and all of that,
but if you wnat to know who is the best of all the rest
its alpha delta pi i i (HEY)

then we went to some sort of cheer.

kinda sounds like a football song but I don't know the original name of the tune. great long rush song for all of the girls to come into the room too.

polarpi 01-07-2005 02:30 AM

This was the song my chapter sang the first day I went through recruitment - and I STILL remember it (and also had to teach it over the phone to one of the Alphas so she could teach it to the rest of the girls :D)

MiamiADPi 01-08-2005 08:07 AM

I love this thread! I can't wait to get back to Miami and introduce a few new songs to my sisters. Since we didn't go through regular formal recruitment with the other sororities, we haven't learned too many songs and chants. Our TCCs taught us a bunch and the overwhelming favorite was 'fall in line' and "Pi Pi ADPi". I don't think I've heard of "bye bye" before.... how does it go?
