Boom Boom Cheer
 

Hi ladies!

I've been looking up some cheers on various GC boards and online, and one that keeps coming up for every sorority is called Boom Boom. Everyone mentions how addicting it is and they can't get the tune out of their head. Just wondering, can anyone someone explain how this cheer sounds or direct me to a link where I can hear it? I know that seems unusual, but I can't believe I've never heard such a popular cheer before, and I'm wondering what all the hullaballoo is about. Thanks for your help.

When I was a recruitment counselor, we used to talk about how funny it was that all the chapters on my campus had some sort of "boom boom" song. It wasn't the same song, they all just had some variation of "boom boom" in one of their songs.

For our RC reveal, we all memorized a song from each of the chapters and sang them together. The one for Pi Phi was their "boom boom" song.

Are they referring to "Put Your Foot On the Loud Pedal" - it involves the words "boom boom" and is fairly addictive, lol.

Boom Boom Boom Boom
I wanna go ADPi
Boom Boom
and baby that aint no lie
Boom Boom
I wanna go ADPi Boom Boom (small pause)
Boom Boom Boom Boom
I wanna wear White and Blue
Boom Boom
and wear that diamond too
Boom Boom
I wanna go ADPi Boom Boom

We are truely sisters . . . known for loyalty
We can't be beat on friendship . . .its A D Pi for me.

Boom Boom Boom Boom
I wanna go adpi
Boom Boom
and baby that ain't no lie
Boom Boom
I wanna go adpi don't you.

Now various chapters make small changes but that is basically how it goes . . . with snaps or claps

I hoped that helped - I guess some other sororities might do that song/cheer but I only know ours

I will remember this till the day I die!
 

Pi Phis did this one at my school.

Ours was a round with "Boom-de-ah-da" as the baseline while others sang:

We are the Alpha Gams
That's our sorority
Now and Forever
We Pledge our Loyality
To our Fraternity
Our Hearts Will Ever be True
To Thee
Alpha
Gamma
Delta
Then all sing after the round is over:
Boom-de-ah-da
Boom-de-ah-da
Boom-de-ah-da
Boom-de-ah-da
Boom-de-ah-da
Boom!

Do all of these cheers sound the same, or do they have different beats?

I would tend to think they all have different beats. :)

We have a song called thunderation that contains the words Boom Boom, I know some other groups must use it as well....

We sang this one:

Boom boom they're'll be nothin' but Theta
Boom boom for the one that I love
Boom Boom they're'll be nothin' Theta
And the twin stars up above
K-A-P-P-A-A-L-P-H-A T-H-E-T-A
Boom boom they're'll be nothing but Theta
Boom boom for the one that I love

Haha! I like that! Those MUST have the same tunes!!! KDLady, I'll have to sing this one to you some time, because I'm almost positive they must have the same music to them. :)

Ok, this one is really old (circa early 1980's), so I couldn't tell you if they even still use it...

Boom Boom, there'll be nothing but sweet dreams for Kappa mine
Boom Boom, there'll be nothing but sweet, sweet dreams
Won't that be fine
There's a high life, there's a low life, there's a bottle of wine and a jolly good time
Boom Boom, there'll be nothing but sweet dreams
For Kappa mine....for Kappa mine

This is one of the few songs I remember...besides "I'm so happy that I am a...."

Wooo!

Alpha Phi does a boom boom song at my school. I can't remember the words, but I know it ends like "Al-pha Phi boom boom boom boom" and DEFINITELY sticks in your head.
