What was your favorite chant?

AOIIMontana · #1 06-18-2007, 05:28 PM

I am the VPMR at Montana State University and we dont have any chants. We have songs we have been singing since the 30s and have not updated. On our bid day the other sororities have chants and all we have is songs. I am hoping there are some greeks who can help me out with some chants that they love for us to use.

Are you going to convention next week, by chance??

Welcome to GC and congrats on VPMR!

I learned this one this fall from the girls at Arkansas State:

(clapping once for each word)
Alpha Alpha Alpha O!
Only only way to go!
Who are who are who are we?
We're the best sorority!
AOII AOII AOII
'Til we die!
Wooooooooooooo!

My chapter did:

How (clap) would you like to be an A (clap) O (clap) II? (clap clap clap)
How (clap) would you like to learn to do or die? (clap clap clap)
How (clap) would you like to learn to love anew? (clap clap clap)
How (clap) would you like to have us love you too? (clap clap clap)
How would you like a little heaven on earth?
Oh, honey....
How'd you like to be an AOII?

No, at our chapter we have to pay for it and no one can afford it. The alum have allowed our president to go but she had to pay for 3/4ths of it and is going to ask around. Iam just racking my brain searching and trying to think of chants.

Unless they have changed it, as CP she would only have the small registration fee as a personal expense. Her travel and room/board is paid by HQ because she is a member of Council.

Did this change and I missed it?

Here are the 2 that we did most of the time:

#1
A-A-A with an O
O-O-O with a Pi
A with an O
O with a Pi
A-O-Pi
*clap throughout
(repeat 3 times)

#2
A-A-A O Pi
Roses Pandas til we die
Sheaf of Wheat, is our pin
AOII til the end.

Togetherness, we love our chapter
Sisterhood forever after
Red,White - colors true
AOII lets you be you
*clap throughout

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHhhhhhh

A-O-PI!

It hasn't changed - she only has to pay the registration fee, but unfortunately I think it is too late. I think June 15 was the absolute last day to register. She may want to call HQ and beg though. It might be worth it and she could get some good recruitment ideas!

Cute cheers!

AOIIalum · #6 06-18-2007, 09:53 PM

Hi AOIIMontana! If you haven't already, get in touch with your Recruitment Adviser and CNS for help (don't worry, this is my normal response around here!) We also have some amazing MRCs at HQ who can help with all things recruitment.

Shameless plug for one of my chapters: on the Phi Chi song page they have the words to "A O Cutie Pi".

As for the CP's registration fee, if someone had to cancel last minute there may be an open registration. It might be hard to swing airfare but she might get lucky on a last minute fare or on Southwest. Has she talked about this with your CNS to see what can be done so she could attend Convention? Good luck!

AlphaO7 · #7 10-23-2007, 09:08 PM

Here's some that we used during recruitement:

"Oh when she's walking down the street
she's got that lok that can't be beat
when you ask the reason why
it's cause shes an AOII
AOII's the place to be
it's the only one for me
so come on we'll show you why
we're the best we're AOII"

Boom, Boom, Boom, Boom
I wanna go AOII and baby that ain't no lie
Boom, boom, boom, boom
I wanna go AOII don't you?
uh huh!
I wanna go AOII and wear those rubies and pearls
boom, boom, boom, boom
I wanna go AOII, don't you?
Yes ma'am!
For we are truly sisters
we ahve so such loyalty
we cant be beat on friendship
it's AOII for me!
boom, boom, boom, boom
i wanna go AOII
and baby taht ain't no lie
boom boom boom boom
i want go AOII
don't you? don't you? don't you?
SURE DO!

We have a few others too, but those are my favorites

I know someone asked for preference day songs. My favorite pref song is El Shaddai

it's so pretty. We sing about 4 songs on pref day though

sarahanne · #8 10-25-2007, 10:13 AM

one of my favorite chants is

roses, rubies, pandas too
don't you wish this could be you
AOII red and white
AoII you know that's right
ooooo A O II woo!

it's great after IM sports and things like that.

ForeverRoses · #9 10-25-2007, 03:24 PM

This one I still find myself singing to my kids-

A-L-P-H-A gimmie O-M-I-C-R-O-N
P-I A-O-Pi
Alpha, Alpha, Omicron Pi
We are AOII
We are the best and that's no lie
Sisterhoods and goodtimes too
AOII's the one for you
(Repeat)

This was our door chant during rush that we used when the rushees were walking in. It was also the chant used during Rho Chi revealing (They would do a sorority chant and those Rho Chis would step forward and take off their Rho Chi sweatshirt to reveal their letters).

The chant that I disliked was to the tune of "hi-ho" from Snow White. It's okay on it's own, but during rush it was a little to sing-songy compared to what the other houses were doing (and less memorable).

A-O, A-O
The only way to go
And when you see that spirit in me
You'll know
that I'm an Alpha O.

rosypanda28 · #10 01-24-2008, 10:15 AM

We use that chant, too. But it was something we did at the end of chapter and all the older girls would yell it and you just had to catch on cause they didn't teach it and at the end of it we all shout roses to each other!!!

Onedogtoomany · #11 02-19-2008, 12:32 AM

I've tried to write these words using some phonics sounds. If you said ever word properly...it just wouldn't "holler" the same!

Naga Naga
Whole potat-ah
Half past an alligat-ah
Rim Ram
Bo ga Dam
Chippe wa Sah
AOPi AOPi
Rah Rah Rah

Rip Rap Rye
A O Pi
Chit Chat
Kitty Kat
Ki Yi Yi
Razzle Dazzle
Hobble Gobble
Sis Boom Bah
AOPi AOPi
Rah Rah Rah

AO Pi
Alpha O
Number 1

barnard1897 · #12 03-01-2008, 11:30 PM

That's the one! I used to love that; it was so original there was no way any other house would have any idea how to rip it off from us!!

I learned this one from a sister from Duke, which was really great for regrouping after final party of a long recruitment day:

Leader:
All right, all right, all right (group: all RIGHT!)
L:
Ok, Ok, Ok (group: OK!)
L:
All right (group: All right!)
L: OK! (group: OK)
All: ALPHA OMICRON PI, HEY!

ToledoAOII · #13 07-12-2009, 02:47 PM

A-L-P-H-A! AOII's the only way!
S-U-P-E-R! Super-Duper that's what we are!
A! (A!)
O (O!)
II! Get it! Get it! Get it!
*Clap : XX XX XX (same Rhythm as "Get it")*
A! (A!)
O! (O!)
II!

and our Village Chat (one of the Fraternities use the same one, but substitute letters- it may be time for us to find a catchier one)

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA! (SCREAMED AS LOUDLY AS POSSIBLE UNTIL THE LAST GIRL IS OUT OF THE HOUSE AND IN THE MIDDLE OF THE VILLAGE WITH THE REST OF THE CHAPTER)
A!
A-L-P-H-A!
P-I!
A-O-PI!
4-3-2-1
GIVE A CHEER FOR OMICRON!
A-O-PI
YOU KNOW!

AOII Angel · #14 07-12-2009, 03:05 PM

I just remembered this chant when we were lining up at convention on Red and White day to take the all convention photo.

Girl in Red, girl in white
AOII is dynamite!
The AOIIs welcome you.

Friends so true
Take our cue
Fun and friendship we pursue
The AOIIs welcome you.

And if you wander by and AOII
You will agree
We're the best
of all the rest
We're the top sorority

So come along
Sing our song
Join our happy, carefree throng
The AOIIs welcome you
We really mean it!
The AOIIs welcome you!

It's been in my head ever since...ahhhhhh
