Wedding songs

[TechADPI]

What are some songs that sisters can sing at ADPi weddings? Or even a chant, tradition or something. Two of my chapter sisters are getting married at the end of May, and I think it would be fun to show everyone else what our sisterhood is about.

We sing "When you love an Alpha Delta" and "Remember your ADPi girl".

What are the lyrics to "When you love an Alpha Delta" and "Remember your ADPi girl"? I've never heard them...

[honeychile]

REMEMBER

Remember your ADPi girl
Remember when you're away
Remember she's all you've wished for
And close to you
She'll always stay.

Remember that small black diamond
And pearls of friendship true
For memories will keep forever
It's ADPi for you.

WHEN YOU LOVE AN ALPHA DELTA

When you love an Alpha Delta
You're a very special boy
When you love an Alpha Delta
Your heart is full of joy

She's the dearest girl, sincerest girl
Of all girls under the sun
When you love an Alpha Delta
Your life has just begun.

We found these on an ancient album that a chapter in California had made, and they were so corny, we loved them! We make a friendship circle with the bridal couple in the middle to do these, and there are usually tons of comments from other people there.

Hope that helped!

L&L,
honeychile

At NAU we actually sing the first song slightly differently...

Remember your alpha delt girl
Remember when your away
Remember she's all you wished for
And true to you she'll always stay

Remember the small black diamond
with pearls for friendships true
For memories that live forever
It's an alpha delt for you


The other song I havent heard...

But for candle passings (since I havent been to an adpi wedding yet...but mine will be the first)...but we sing...

Little ADPi, Sacred Bonds...umm...that is all I can think of right now...

[HBADPi]

Those sound really cute!! I definatley have to let our song chair know about those b/c they would be great for our pinnings. Do you know if they are in the Song Book or how I can somehow get a tune for them?

[ASUADPi]

I would recommend Pass it On, which is a candle passing song we sing and the ADPi round. Here are the lyrics just in case you need them.

Pass It On

It only takes a spark
To get a friendship going
And soon all those around
Can warm up to its glowing
That's how it is with Adpi
Once you've experienced it
You want to sing
It's fresh like spring
You want to pass it on

I wish for you my friend
This happiness that I've found
You can depend on it
It matters not where you're bound
I'll shout it from the mountain top
I want my world to know
That ADPi has come to me
I want to pass it on

Alpha Delta Pi Round (not sure of it's real name)

Alpha Delta Pi
Let us show you how we feel
You have given us your riches
We love you so

The ADPi round we sang during pinning, so we started singing prior to the new alphas coming into the room and continued until they were all in. I can't even give an average of how many times you repeat, but it's a really pretty song and so is Pass It On.

Good Luck!!!!

Beth Hamilton of EO won a songbook on ebay, and was sweet enough to photocopy it for me (we were bidding against each other, and so we practiced "We Live For Each Other"). I'm making a copy for Alpha Iota, and I would be happy to make a copy for Eta Beta (or any other chapter who requests it), too.

I'm in Chicago, visiting my fiance, so I won't be able to make the copies until Wednesday, but if you pm me with an address in the meantime, I'll be happy to pass it along - but only if you'll share it with any other chapter who asks for it! That's what sisters are for!

L&L,

so last week HB had a pinning (christin sciulli & brian cusick, a DTD) and i'm all i know what's up it's the same as always and wouldn't you know after cusick pins sciulli, the chapter busts out let us sing to alpha delta and then at BDB this past friday, the group that sang the creed at recruitment, sang the adpi blessing before dinner. april is the best thing that's happened to the song chair position in so long! i'm so proud of her, and i was so impressed with the girls... noosh (HBADPi) i know you understand cause HB -- not the best singers hahaha... i think when you come back for graduation and i'm up we should make the chapter serenade us with their new songs!

I agree- we havent been serenaded to since we were alphas and its high time we got pampered while we're still around as Deltas.

honey- i would definately love to get our chapter a copy of that songbook. I'll get in touch with our song chair (if sweetie adpi hasnt already ) and get back to you

For candlelights, we sing the ADPi sweetheart song.

They say there's someone in this big world,
Someone who is waiting for you,
To share your smile and all the while to love and take care of you,
And now you have found the right sweetheart,
The one who was waiting for you,
He's kind and sincere,
To us very dear,
The sweetheart of ADPi.
