Drinking songs, chants, toasts, etc.
 

Everybody enjoys a good drinking song, chant, whatever. I was wondering if anyone had anything good to share.


Here is one we do , called "To Honor" :

Heres to honor
I offered her me honor
She honored my offer
And all night long I was on her and off her
So heres to honor, casue its better to be honor than off her. ;)

This, from Man of Principal.

OH THE IRONY!

I never said what principles I was advocating. ;)

Just a fun chant.


I also like "Heres to heat!"

Heres to heat
Not the kind that ignites and burns down shanties
But ther kind that excites and brings down panties.
Heres to heat!



:D

I didn't make them up, I just chant them while I'm drinking.

lol i heard that last one in a backass town in missouri lol- brings back some memories....lol

we have a bunch of chants but i think i've posted them before...

Wow, I am apparently the only greek who chants when he drinks...

The only chant I and a few other brothers used is :

"Here's to Brother ________ who's with us tonight."

Some of my sisters and I chant this when we take shots...

Up to it, down to it
F&#K those who don't do it
We do it cause we're used to it
so Drink Mother F*$ker Drink!


not ladylike I know..but fun when it's just the girls

A friend of mine used to say this one whenever he toasted:

Here's to being single, seeing double, and sleeping triple.

Of course non of us girls found that real flattering.

Yeah we do "Heres to Brother ---- " also, an oldie but still alot of fun.


I like the shot chant.


Keep 'em comming. I always like having a new chant for the guys.


One of my favorites is:


Heres to you herers to me
Greeks we shall always be
If we should ever disagree
To hell with you, and heres to me!

Re: Drinking songs, chants, toasts, etc.
 

Curious, what greek are you? M.o.P. is a Beta thing, and Alpha Lambda of Beta would be our College of Wooster, which has been closed for some time...but you say 1947...so, I guess that could work.

We have a song called "hi ho"....its pretty good, too long to go into though.

I am an honorable brother, in good standing, of Sigma Tau Gamma Fraternity. :D

that one is cool.

Anyone ever heard "Ode to Beer"?

:D

Sorry to hear that. Just kidding, welcome to GC.

PS, great songs.

no, But it sounds interesting.

I'm curious, what is your chours to "Here's to brother ___ "

We use : He wacks it, he smacks it, he really attacks it.

But I have also heard it done with : He's happy, he's jolly, he's f*&#ed up by golly.

Here's to brother _______, brother _______, brother _______, Here's to brother _______, who's with us tonight.
He's happy, he's jolly, he's horny, by golly!
Here's to brother _______, who's with us tonight!

Sooooooo....

Drink, motherf*cker! Drink, motherf*cker! (repeat until the drink (cup, glass, bottle, can or keg) is finished)
Here's to brother _______, who's with us tonight!

Another classic drinking song:

Drink, drink, drink, drink...
Drank, drank, drank, drank...
Drunk, drunk, drunk, drunk...
I was drunk last night, drunk the night before,
I'm gonna get drunk tonight like I never got drunk before!
'Cause when I'm drunk I'm as happy as can be,
'Cause I am a member of the Alpha Sigs!
There's a highland Sig, a lowland Sig, a middle-land Sig and the other damned Sig!
Sing Glorious! Vic-torious! One keg of of beer for the whole of us!
Singing 'Glory be to God' that there are no more of us,
'Cause one of us'll drink it all alone!
Drink beer, pass the beer to the rear of the frat-house!

Some of our old fraternity drinking songs:

The table's set, the feast is met,
the hall is gay and merry.
Good fellows all are gathered here
to drink a glass of sherry.
So grab a stein of beer or wine
and join right in the swing;
Let glasses clink, and take a drink
as merrily as we sing.

CHORUS

So, drink, drink, drink to our Fraternity
Drink, drink, drink, for she means so much to me
Good fellowship is forming here,
Oh may it never die;
So, drink, drink, drink to Alpha Sigma Phi!

As always is said in these types of threads, many HQs look a this site, do you really want your Nat'l to see this? Or present this image to prospectives and other Greeks? It's up to you.

We used the latter verse, but the one about wacks it we didn't do........until now :D ;)

I've heard some minor regional variations:

He hates us, he beats us, he even mistreats us!
Here's to brother _______, the worst of 'em all!

Chanting is a great tradition, and I think if they are done in fun there is nothing wrong with them. I would be happy to stand before any delegation of my brothers and give one of these chants.

I don't think Nationals are going to worry too much about a drinking song thread. Unless they have a strict policy against openly promoting alcoholic consumption to extreme excess.

I think there's going to be a fraternity/sorority double standard in this thread. I can't imagine many fraternity HQs caring. Sororities, on the other hand? Oh yeah.

Most fraternities have always cared, and would have at least provided advice against such behavior. Unless there is media or university attention in an extreme situation, its doubtful that any fraternity would take punitive actions.

Here are some of ours, i'll save the NC17 ones for another time.

• WE'RE ALL GOOD BROTHERS:

Oh, We're all good brothers, each one the other's friend
and we'll be good brothers until this world shall end.
So while we're together lets give a rousing cheer,
for Lambda - Chi - Alpha, the bond we hold so dear.

• another verse to "We're All Good Brothers"

Put your arm around your brother,
stand together man to man,
as we grow older, we're brothers in a band
that binds us together until the day we die
we're faithful forever to dear old Lambda Chi.

• HIP HIP HOORAY:

Let's give a hip hip hooray, for dear old Lambda Chi,
Let's give a hip hip hooray, and shout it to the sky.
We'll make the rafters ring when all the brothers sing,
about the cross and the crescent, it's the grandest thing.
We'll shout it all day long, We'll shout it loud and strong,
for we want the world to know (to know)
We stand together now, we stand forever proud!
For dear old Lambda Chi -- Alpha, Hey!

• The Cheer:

We're the men of Lambda Chi, Cross and Crescent, Spirits high: Purple,
Gold, and Green are we,
Number ONE Fraternity.
When I say Lambda you say Chi:
Lambda! Chi! Lambda! Chi!
When I say Number you say One:
Number! One! Number! One!

Interesting.... interesting....


Last drinking song that I remember chanting/singing was just before the holiday break... course it was at the Faculty Club with mostly Classics and English history profs, so the song was a little advanced - To Anacreon in Heaven - the drinking song that the Star Spangled Banner was taken from... unfortunatley this song is much longer - and harder to do drunk ;)

To Anacreon in Heaven
To Anacreon in Heav'n,
Where he sat in full glee,
A few Sons of Harmony
Sent a petition
That he their Inspirer
And Patron would be;
When this answer arrived
From the Jolly Old Grecian:
"Voice, Fiddle, and Flute,
No longer be mute,
I'll lend you my name
And inspire you to boot,

Chorus:

And besides I'll instruct you,
Like me, to intwine
The Myrtle of Venus
With Bacchus's Vine."

II.

The news through Olympus
Immediately flew;
When Old Thunder pretended
To give himself airs.
"If these Mortals are suffered
Their scheme to pursue,
The devil a Goddess,
Will stay above stairs.
Hark, already they cry,
In transports of joy,
'Away to the Sons
Of Anacreon we'll fly,

Chorus:

And there with good fellows,
We'll learn to intwine
The Myrtle of Venus
With Bacchus' Vine.

III.

"The Yellow-Haired God
And his nine fusty Maids
From Helicon's banks
Will incontinent flee,
Idalia will boast
But of tenantless shades,
And the bi-forked hill
A mere desert will be.
My Thunder no fear on't,
Shall soon do its errand,
And dam'me I'll swing
The Ringleaders I warrant.

Chorus:

I'll trim the young dogs,
For thus daring to twine
The Myrtle of Venus
With Bacchus's Vine."

IV.

Apollo rose up,
And said, "Pry'thee ne'er quarrel,
Good King of the Gods,
With My Vot'ries below:
Your Thunder is useless"--
Then showing his laurel,
Cry'd "Sic evitabile
Fulmen, you know!
Then over each head,
My laurels I'll spread,
So my sons from your Crackers
No mischief shall dread,

Chorus:

While, snug in their clubroom,
They jovially twine
The Myrtle of Venus
With Bacchus's Vine."

V.

Next Momus got up
With his risible Phiz
And swore with Apollo
He'd cheerfully join --
"The full tide of Harmony
Still shall be his,
But the Song, and the Catch,
And the Laugh shall be mine.
Then, Jove, be not jealous
Of these honest fellows."
Cry'd Jove, "We relent,
Since the truth you now tell us:

Chorus:

And swear by Old Styx,
That they long shall intwine
The Myrtle of Venus
With Bacchus's Vine."

VI.

Ye Sons of Anacreon,
Then join hand in hand;
Preserve Unanimity,
Friendship, and Love!
'Tis yours to support
What's so happily plann'd;
You've the sanction of Gods,
And the Fiat of Jove.
While thus we agree,
Our toast let it be:
"May our Club flourish Happy,
United, and Free!

Chorus:

And long may the Sons
Of Anacreon intwine
The Myrtle of Venus
With Bacchus's Vine."

We do this chant too! In fact I learned it at an APO regional conference. :D

The (in)famous drinking song "Here's to brother ______" will be familiar to those who are practitioners of the fine art of 'hashing'. The song's tune is Ach, du lieber Augustin!.

More info: http://www.half-mind.com/Hashing/who.htm

Do Jimmy Buffet songs count? (yes, it is a formal song of my GLO).

One of the fraternities here has a toast they do, I don't remember it exactly, but here is what I can remember

"Here's to honor
to getting honor
to staying honor
and if you can't come with her
come honor!"

(requires pronunciation)

Now I have to say, that just took me back twenty years to the basement of the Lambda Chi at Eastern Michigan (where my first husband was a member!)

That one and the TKE fight song are engrained in me (first college boyfriend was a TKE)

Ok, now this isn't a drinking "chant" per se, but a toast, which we've used numerous times over the years, with water, diet pepsi, or wine even...

Here's to the men that we love,
And here's to the men that love us,
But the men that we love aren't the men who love us,
So to hell with the men, here's to US!

Haha Alpha Gams here at Arkansas State say the same chant! Woo for Alpha Gams!

My favorite drinking song...

The Rainbow Connection

Written by Paul Williams and used by Kermit the Frog, of The Muppets, Jim Henson Productions
Why are there so many songs about rainbows
And what's on the other side?
Rainbows are visions, but only illusions,
And rainbows have nothing to hide.
So we've been told and some choose to believe it
I know they're wrong, wait and see.
Someday we'll find it, the rainbow connection,
The lovers, the dreamers and me.

Who said that every wish would be heard and answered
when wished on the morning star?
Somebody thought of that
and someone believed it,
and look what it's done so far.
What's so amazing that keeps us stargazing?
And what do we think we might see?
Someday we'll find it, the rainbow connection,
the lovers, the dreamers and me.

All of us under its spell,
we know that it's probably magic....

Have you been half asleep
and have you heard voices?
I've heard them calling my name.
Is this the sweet sound that calls the young sailors?
The voice might be one and the same.
I've heard it too many times to ignore it.
It's something that I'm supposed to be.
Someday we'll find it, the rainbow connection,
the lovers, the dreamers and me.
La, la la, La, la la la, La Laa, la la, La, La la laaaaaaa

We do that one !

TKE...
 

Here's a TKE toast song... I provided a link that you can listen to... It's sung by THE LETTERMEN, who are all Tekes and have sung the songs of TKE on record...

This is followed by informal songs used...

We actually posted really bad and vulgar songs on the TKE board some time back - it's a shared understanding... Nationals knows it's in good fun. That's it... ;)
________________

A TOAST TO TKE

Oh pass the Loving cup all around
And pass no brother's key
We all drink from the same canteen
in dear ole T-K-E
Oh you and I will never grow old
While this fair cup we see.

Here's health
Here's wealth
Here's fellowship
To good Ole T-K-E

Here's health
Here's wealth
Here's fellowship
To good Ole T-K-E

"OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!! Here's to Frater Chris, Frater Chris, Frater Chris, Here's to Frter Chris who's with us tonight - he's happy, he's jolly, he's horny by golly, here's to Frater Chris _____________" (we say Frater instead of brother)...



Fight songs:


"OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOH!!! We're Tau Kappa Epsilon Raiders of the Night, a bunch of rowdy bastards, that rather F that fight, so F 'em F 'em F'em, who the F are we? We're Tau Kappa Epsilon the best fraternity...
TKE once, TKE Twice, Holy jumpin Jeebus Ch***, Gosh dang son of a b**** rah rah F!!!"

- Tekes Raise HELL

"


GO BEACH!!!

I doubt there are any national's that crawl this stupid-ass site, looking for the smallest thing, so they can jump down their members throats - afterall, most of the people posting here are alumni, what can they do anyway?

PS, they're drinking song/chants, not real life hazing stories....get off your soap box.

PSS, if some nationals actually surf this site to find dirt, then maybe they need to step back and realize why they suck: they spend their resources doing stupid shit, rather than putting it towards leadership acadamies, conventions, conclaves, scholarships...etc.

They do.

Examples?

Unfortunately I don't think any of them post, so I can't give examples. They just lurk.

All I'm saying is think before you post. It's up to you what you tie your name to.

I agree - but look at you, you're tying yourself to the Packers - you must be the coolest, because the PACK RULES!!!!!!!!!!! Poor Reggie, what a terrible time in Titletown...
