What was your favorite chant?
 

I am the VPMR at Montana State University and we dont have any chants. We have songs we have been singing since the 30s and have not updated. On our bid day the other sororities have chants and all we have is songs. I am hoping there are some greeks who can help me out with some chants that they love for us to use.

Are you going to convention next week, by chance??

Welcome to GC and congrats on VPMR!

I learned this one this fall from the girls at Arkansas State:

(clapping once for each word)
Alpha Alpha Alpha O!
Only only way to go!
Who are who are who are we?
We're the best sorority!
AOII AOII AOII
'Til we die!
Wooooooooooooo!

My chapter did:

How (clap) would you like to be an A (clap) O (clap) II? (clap clap clap)
How (clap) would you like to learn to do or die? (clap clap clap)
How (clap) would you like to learn to love anew? (clap clap clap)
How (clap) would you like to have us love you too? (clap clap clap)
How would you like a little heaven on earth?
Oh, honey....
How'd you like to be an AOII?

No, at our chapter we have to pay for it and no one can afford it. The alum have allowed our president to go but she had to pay for 3/4ths of it and is going to ask around. Iam just racking my brain searching and trying to think of chants.

Unless they have changed it, as CP she would only have the small registration fee as a personal expense. Her travel and room/board is paid by HQ because she is a member of Council.

Did this change and I missed it?

Here are the 2 that we did most of the time:

#1
A-A-A with an O
O-O-O with a Pi
A with an O
O with a Pi
A-O-Pi
*clap throughout
(repeat 3 times)

#2
A-A-A O Pi
Roses Pandas til we die
Sheaf of Wheat, is our pin
AOII til the end.

Togetherness, we love our chapter
Sisterhood forever after
Red,White - colors true
AOII lets you be you
*clap throughout

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHhhhhhh

A-O-PI!

It hasn't changed - she only has to pay the registration fee, but unfortunately I think it is too late. I think June 15 was the absolute last day to register. She may want to call HQ and beg though. It might be worth it and she could get some good recruitment ideas!

Cute cheers!

Hi AOIIMontana! If you haven't already, get in touch with your Recruitment Adviser and CNS for help (don't worry, this is my normal response around here!) We also have some amazing MRCs at HQ who can help with all things recruitment. :) Shameless plug for one of my chapters: on the Phi Chi song page they have the words to "A O Cutie Pi".

As for the CP's registration fee, if someone had to cancel last minute there may be an open registration. It might be hard to swing airfare but she might get lucky on a last minute fare or on Southwest. Has she talked about this with your CNS to see what can be done so she could attend Convention? Good luck!

Hello Alpha Phi Chapter!
 

Hi, MSU alum here. I really hope your CP will be going to Convention. I really want to meet her! I am not in MT anymore, but am in Colorado and a chapter adviser (VPCR & Ritual) and alum chapter president. I will go through my files and dig up some chants for you (other than the ones from Alpha Phi Chapter!) and send them to you.

You guys have a great CA, Kerry; CNS, Marji and CND, Kristy. You are in great hands!

I think of Alpha Phi Chapter all the time and wish you all the very best.


I'll see you at Homecoming!

90 years at MSU!

<hijack>MSUAOII, I'll be at Convention. Hope to meet you there!</hijack>

Oh, and of course, welcome to GC!

Sorry to crash, but I was a Rho Gamma this past spring and I remember this chant:

A....L-P-H-A
O-M-I-C-R-O-N
P-I
A-O-Pi
Alpha Alpha Omicron Pi!

And this one, it's kind of a song but catchy and you can definitely make it a little more chanty by clapping or do a harmony. I can't obviously give you the tune over the internet, but maybe a consultant has heard of this one:

Re-mem-mem
mem-mem-mem-mem-ber
A-O-Pi
Sisters forever
Laughing, singing, doing whatever
We have fun when we're together

This one is to the tune of Supercalifragilisticexpialadocious. Alpha Epsilon Phi actually did this one but it would work for AOPi as well since it has the same number of beats. The hint is that the emphasis ends up on the "C":

A-L-P-H-A-O-M-I-C-R-O-N Pi!
You can only say it if you really really try
Ask who's the best sorority and then we will reply
A-L-P-H-A-O-M-I-C-R-O-N Pi!

An AOII classic!

I'm an A-O-A-O-A-O-Cutie Pi
And I'll be one till the day I, day I die,
I'm so proud, so proud about it,
I can't help, but help, but shout it,
I'm an A-O-A-O-A-O Cutie Pi!!



Our favorite inappropriate, but fun one!

Oh there are no AOIIs down in hell!
(Hell no!)
Oh there are no AOIIs down in hell!
(Hell no!)
'Cause their all up above drinkin beer and makin love,
Oh there are no AOIIs down in hell!
(Hell no!)


Up at Northern (insert your school here, we were Northern Illinois) on Fraternity Row,
There's a swingin little house called Alpha O,
It's where all the girls are really tops,
It's where all the Frat boys love to stop!
Alpha O, Alpha O, Alpha Omicron Pi,
Alpha O, Alpha O, Alpha Omicron Pi,
We'll be loyal to you till the day we die!

Easy one to the tune of Row, Row, Row, Your boat

Fun, love, loyalty
All go hand in hand,
When you are an AOII,
Life is simply grand!

On this topic.... sort of. Does anyone have any preference ceremony songs that you love? We always do "The Rose" but we have one other song. Does anyone have any ideas? Recruitment is only 13 days away! EEK! :eek:

The words, as I remember them, are really:

A-L-P-H-A-O-M-I-C-R-O-N-Pi,
We know that you can say it if you really give a try
If asked the best sorority, we always do reply,
It's A-L-P-H-A-O-M-I-C-R-O-N Pi! Hey!

We also used:

A-A-A-AOII,
Alpha Omicron PI,
For me, for you, for AOII,
For how I love my AOII!

I just thought of this one that we used at rush.

Mama's little baby loves Alpha Omicron, Mama's little baby loves AOII. Mama's little baby loves Alpha Omicron, Mama's little baby loves AOII.
Put on your (somthing...I can't remember), hold your head up high,
Alpha's gonna make you walk with pride.

That ain't all we're gonna do,
Alpha's gonna make a greek out of you.

It's very sing songy...a little strange though.

Then there's "Flamin' Alpha"

I'm a flamin' Alpha
I'm a sure fire scorcher
I'm the hottest baby in town.

And when it comes to lovin'
I'm a human oven
I really go to town

All the firemen say that I'm there only desire
I'm the hottest thing since the Chicago Fire

Cuz I'm a flamin Alpha
I'm a sure fire scorcher
I'm the hottest baby in town

(I always thought it sounded a little slutty though!)

It's amazing what you can remember when you are bored at work....
Here's another one.

A to the O to the P-I, Pi.
A to the O to the P-I, Pi.
A to the O to the P-I, Pi...
Aaaaaaaa, AOII.
Alpha, Alpha, Alpha, Alpha, Alpha till we die.
Come on sisters, come on sisters, raise your spirits high.

We'll take the best and let the others have the REST!

A to the O to the P-I, Pi.
A to the O to the P-I, Pi.
A to the O to the P-I, Pi...
Aaaaaaaa, AOII!

alpha alpha omicron pi
we're the best and it ain't no lie
so come on girls and you will see
that aoii is "The" sorority!!!
