Where is this song/chant from?
 
I'm a Sigma Pi alum from Michigan State. We've used this as a fight song/chant for as long as I can remember, but I'm pretty certain a lot of it was heavily borrowed from other places/houses:

"We're Sigma Pi at MSU, we're here for all to see;
a fellowship united, a brotherhood are we;
we raise our beers and spread our cheers to all who pass us by;
and if we ever meet again, you'll know we're Sigma Pi.

Sig Pi, we're the Spies,
We're the one's that never die;
Win or lose, we drink our brews,
just because we pay our dues.

God damn, sonofabitch, Sig Ma Pi.

Drink beer, drink beer, drink beer, God damn, drink beer.

For I won't give a damn, for any old man...
who won't drink a beer with a Sig Pi man.

Go to hell, go to hell, go to hell, God damn, go to hell.



... wow, that looks a lot worse written out. Anyway, if anyone knows where some of this was borrowed from, I'd appreciate it.

Thanks in advance

well, i know we do the drink beer chant from time to time. after the go to hell line, we have "i was lambda chi bred, and i'm lambda chi fed, and when i die, i'll be lambda chi dead, so roll lambda chi, roll lambda chi, roll lambda chi, roll!"

Corbin-

Here the DG's have a song similar to yours.

"I was Delta Gam born and Delta Gam dead and when I die, I'll be Delta Gam dead..."

SigPiMSU-

I know the official Sigma Phi Epsilon drinking song includes the verse "Drink beer, drink beer, oh come drink beer with me. For I don't give a damn for any old man, who won't drink beer with me." I know the rest, but I'll spare you. Maybe a Sig Ep could verify this.

We (ZTA) had a song exactly like the drink beer one when I pledged. Thanks, now its stuck in my head!:p

We have :
drink a beer, drink a beer, come drink a beer with me, don't give a damn about no frat man who won't drink a beer with me.

To hell with the (fill in other sorority) and the rest, come drink a beer with (fill in your sorority) and come drink with the best!

I have heard all the Female GLO's singing that one

We sang:

Drink beer, drink beer o come drink beer with me
For I won't give a damn for any old man
Who won't drink beer with me
So we'll raise the golden goblet
With the killarney rose upon it
And we'll all give a rousing cheer
DRINK BEER!
And we'll drink to our fraternity
And we'll drink to our university
And when the day is done
We will have but one
For dear old Alpha Xi.
DRINK BEER!

KarenC725 05-07-2002 03:18 PM

Ours went something like this...

Drink beer
Drink beer
Oh come drink beer with me
For I don't give a damn for any old man
That won't drink beer with me

So raise that old blue goblet
With the ZTA on it
And we'll all have another round of cheer

(more beer)

*Don't shoot, I can't remember the last verse. it's one of these two

For its not for knowledge that we came to college but to get drunk while we're here

or

Number 12 on the row and you will always know that the Zetas are drinking tonight

tune?
 
Do the sorority songs with the "drink beer" phrase have tunes?

similar
 
Wow I guess I didn't realize how common the beer songs are! Ours goes...

Roll em up
Roll em down
Roll another keg around
For the Phi Mus are drinkin tonight...

We drink beer
We drink Schlitz
And we never call it quits
For the Phi Mus are drinkin tonight...

And it's
CHUG
CHUG
CHUG
As we fill another mug
And we shout out our orders loud and clear
MORE BEER

(I'll spare you the last lines, but you get the idea, but it ends with For the Phi Mus are drinkin tonight)

Of course with the "new" regulations regarding parties, etc. we don't so much teach/sing that one anymore. I just graduated and we loved it, but again, we also feel like we're the last PC that knows what it's really like to be greek. Anyway, just rambling...:)
