Any Alpha Mus out there to answer ??
 

I'm wondering if there are any AMs from Penn State out there that can fill in some blanks for me. We sang a candlelighting song, that no one else seems to recognize, so it may just have been something our chapter did. If there are any AMs who know where we got our candlelighting song from, or what it's actually called and if it's a "real" song or something we just made up ("For me there's a man who is tall, dark and handsome, the finest of any I knoooww..."), can you please post the info. and answer a LONG burning question for me? Thank you!

From the 1979 SongBook
 

This is the closest thing I could find.

For Me There's a Maid
(Tune - "My Wonderful One")

For me there's a maid
Who is gentle and fairest
Of all of the maidens I know;
Her hair of spun gold and her eyes all a-shining
With love that's for me dear, I know.
And then every night
When the shadows are falling
I hear her voice saying 'tis true
Though the years may us sever
I'll love you forever
My sweetheart of Alpha Gam

For me there's a guy
Who is handsome and strongest
Of all of the fellows I know
His smile is so warm and his eyes all a-shining
With love that's for me dear, I know.
And then every night
When the shadows are falling
I hear his voice saying it's true
Though the years may us sever
I love him forever
My sweetheart of Alpha Gam.

(I just looked and unfortunately the music isn't on the Sisters-Only portion of the website)

Gamma Alpha sings the last half of that during candlelighting as well - at least they used to :)

My Gamma Alpha sisters sang that at all 3 of my candlelightings! Yes...to the same man! I had them all!
