Also looking for songs
Does anyone have any real Kappa songs as mp3 files? I am creating a senior video and would really like to have Oh Pat or something on it. Thanks.

I don't have any, but if you make a file of KKG songs I know we'd love to have them for EK chapter!

I don't have any regular Kappa songs, but I can offer you a song that was written by a Kappa from our chapter and is an unofficial Kappa song. It's really sweet and pretty and talks about lasting friendships.
Lyrics: They have smiles that shimmer like the sun On the ocean when the day is nearly done Their laughter takes the rattle from my mind and my bones In troubled water they're my stepping stones And these friends of mine Burn bright through time Brilliantly shine When life puts me to the test I know I'm at my best When I am with these friends of mine Sometimes I need their consolation Sometimes I just need their conversation Sometimes I need them to believe in what I say Sometimes I need them to make it through the day And these friends of mine Burn bright through time Brilliantly shine When life puts me to the test I know I'm at my best When I am with these friends of mine There are things inside myself That belong to something else A friendship is measured in emotional degrees And each unlocked with a golden key And these friends of mine Burn bright through time Brilliantly shine When life puts you to the test You'll be at your best If you have friends like mine Let me know what you think. |
This is beautiful! Do you happen to know what the tune is? Also, what chapter are you from?

This is a 13 year old thread. :) But she was from Iowa State.

Thank you! Figured I'd give it a shot anyways.

These Friends of Mine - song
Back in the mid-to-late ’90s, my close friend and bandmate Maggie—who was a Kappa at Iowa State—wrote a song called "These Friends of Mine." We were in a band together called Good Things, and in 1997, we recorded and released our album "Fit the Groove." The song was included as a hidden track on the CD.
Maggie wrote it about the incredible friendships she formed with her sorority sisters, realizing early on that these relationships were truly special. The song reflects the idea that you can always count on these friends—whether in tough times or through something as simple as a smile to brighten your day. It was written specifically for Kappa Kappa Gamma and includes references to the sorority in the lyrics, such as "the golden key." I remember Maggie submitting it to the National KKG and even performing it at a large regional chapter meeting. The reason I’m sharing this now is that I recently remastered and re-released "Fit the Groove" on all major streaming platforms. While looking into the song’s history, I was surprised to find this post and someone posted the lyrics! Seeing that people remember it is amazing. So, if you’d like to hear it, "These Friends of Mine" is now available on Spotify, iTunes, Amazon—pretty much everywhere. Keep in mind, we were just 20-year-old kids figuring out music and recording, but I think there’s something charming about its low-fi, folky vibe. I hope you all enjoy it! https://open.spotify.com/track/52bTT...83f80c60d04180 |
You can see my post below for the quick story about the song "These Friends of Mine." But here is a link to Spotify as I just recently remastered and released it.
