does your GLO have an official song?
Does your GLO, be it NPHC, NIC, NPC, or even local/independent, have an official song that your members learn and sing?
If so, has it ever changed?
And if so, why??
thanks for putting up with my questions....

Phi Kappa Psi has three songs that all chapters teach their members; Amici, Noble Fraternity and the Sweetheart Song of Phi Kappa Psi.

I'm not aware of these songs ever being changed. They all have some words, or phrases, that are slightly archaic.

There are certain songs associated with ritual that all sisters know. As far as I know they haven't changed since they were written.
The one "fun" song that I think all Kappas know (along with everyone else and their brother) is "Pat" (a.k.a I'm so happy that I am a). I wouldn't call it our official song, but it's tradition and all Kappas I meet or talk to seem to know it. Other songs may vary but everyone knows "Pat."

When I was a recruitment counselor, we all learned songs from other houses- the "Pat" song is my all time favorite!! They taught us the actions that went along with it too. I LOVE IT!

Yes, we do have an official song that all members must learn. I don't believe it has changed since it was written.
Then, of course, we have a whole arsenal of rush/recruitment songs, chants, and cheers, some of which are customized by particular chapters.

We have songs and chants..
The chants which are universal but universally known at least in our case are never used in mixed company.
Our songs are very 1940's-esque.

My sisters can correct me if I'm wrong, but Alpha Gamma Delta doesn't have just one official song.
We have the "Ten Songs Every Alpha Gam Should Know".

Alpha Phi Omega
(The following information taken directly from the national website)
"The Toast Song is the official fraternity song. It is usually sung at the end of all fraternity functions (meetings, ceremonies, conferences, etc.).
The lyrics to the first verse of this song were created in 1925 by Dale Bartlett of Omicron chapter at The University of Iowa. The second verse was written by Robert Northwood of Epsilon Mu at the University of Maryland and were adopted as part of the Toast Song at the National Convention in 1964.
The National Fraternity acknowledges the importance of Brotherhood among all people. In 1976, the National Fraternity overwhelmingly voted to include women among its Brothers as full Members. The words in this toast song are interpreted by the Fraternity to include all Members of Alpha Phi Omega."
In the past several years, at our national conventions, there have been proposed amendments to change some of the lyrics in the song (where only the word "Brothers" is used to "Brothers and Sisters"), but I don't think any of these amendments have passed.

I believe all Tri-Sigma new members must learn:
"Stately and Royal"
"Tri-Sigma Grace"
" The Hymn"

The best is our Alumnae Assoc on our Founder's Day dinner. We have Kappas from 22 - 80+ years all singing and clapping and raising their arms to Pat. It's great!

"Delta Shelter" is sung at the end of most Delt events. There is also an official Delt Songbook (even available on CD) with ten or fifteen additional "traditional" Delt songs.
I don't think they have changed in many years.
