Isn't it beautiful?

Rose Song

Tune: “Drink to me only with thine eyes”


Here’s the Rose, the Crimson Rose
Of our Fraternity
Here’s the rose the fair Buff Rose
In all its purity
Of all the flowers that bud or bloom
With cloud or sun above
‘tis to the Rose of either hue
we pledged our deepest love.
When first to the rose we pledged our faith
We pledged in Jollity;
Memory has now hallowed the love
We sacredly bring to thee
Oh, Alpha Gamma Delta rose
Our cherished floral sign
May all that is noblest and purest and best
Be over and always thine.
