Question

maggieaxid,

how funny, i have heard this chant before, but the version i have heard is a little different at the end i think. my question is, do you sing it or is it spoken? they way i have heard it is sung. i get so far with the singing on yours, but it all falls apart when i get to the part where you spell out a-l-p-h-a. oh well, anyway, just wondering because i really like it, but my chaper does not do it and i do not know how to end the version i know.
We do not have very many chants, as we realized this year at greek week the one we do the most often is really simple:

a-l-p-h-a, x-i-d-e-l-t-a
alpha xi, alpha xi
delta

yeah i know really not very original, but when you repeat it and get faster and louder each time it is very effective.

just for clarification, say the a-l slower than the p-h-a, take a pause, and then spell the rest about the same speed as the p-h-a

another is,
a,
l-p,
h-a-x-i-d,
e-l-t-a,
oh yes,
cause we are the best!

-repeated over and over again with increasing volumne.
