I copied and pasted this from an old Phi Sig thread...maybe you can adapt it?

THE ROSE
A Phi Sig is like a candle
Who's flame burns bright and true
A Phi Sig is a woman
Who gives her love to you

A Phi Sig is a leader
And knows all she can do
And a friend, who's trusting spirit
Is always there for you

Sisterhood is just the start
Of life and days to dawn
Sisterhood is giving yourselves
To cause, so life goes on

Sisterhood is sharing knowldge
And knowing right from wrong
Let us grow into a person
That's confident and strong

When you think you may be lonely
A sister always knows
She will talk and help you out
'Cause her love always shows

Just remember that a Phi Sig
Is a tender bud that knows
That with love and help and friendship
She'll bloom into a rose.

that's the same tune CP, but the version I've heard is much different, closer to the original. I wish I could find it somewhere. Sigma sung it at Founders Day in 2004 and I remember it ended with something like "We say love is Delta Gamma and we'd like to offer you our rose."

Here are the lyrics to The Rose as sung by Bette Midler:
Some say love it is a river
that drowns the tender reed
Some say love it is a razer
that leaves your soul to blead

Some say love it is a hunger
an endless aching need
I say love it is a flower
and you it's only seed

It's the heart afraid of breaking
that never learns to dance
It's the dream afraid of wakingthat never takes the chance
It's the one who won't be taken
who cannot seem to give
and the soul afraid of dyingthat never learns to live

When the night has been too lonely
and the road has been too long
and you think that love is only
for the lucky and the strong
Just remember in the winterfar beneath the bitter snows
lies the seed
that with the sun's love
in the spring
becomes the rose
