Songs!

[Anniebell]

Hey Kappa Ladies!

I am song chair for my chapter and i am currently getting a list of songs together for my chapter because i am going to make a cd for all the members to help them learn recruitment songs. (We are a HUGE singing chapter and we have a BILLION songs) Anyway, a couple things:

a. Does anyone know if anything like this already exists for non0ritual songs
b. Does anyone know any good uncommon Kappa songs i.e. not pat, or Rah Rah, or Chitty Chitty Bang Bang, or the Coke Song
and C. I need some new ideas for Pref Party. We already have three really good songs but we need a fourth. What did ya'll sing as they were walking into the room or do you have any other ideas?


Thanks bunches Ladies!

I'm 16 yrs out of college, but still sing Kappa lullabies to my daughter every night - gotta start 'em young! Just went to a reunion and saw a bunch of Kappa sisters who couldn't remember a single song, what a shame.

On pref night, we often used a current song, broadway hit, etc., and modified the words. For example, "There's a Place for Us" from West Side Story. Songs like that are generally easy enough for all the sisters to pick up the tune, and with just a few decent singers, you can do multiple parts (soprano-alto, sop1-sop2-alto). I can probably remember all the words to "there's a place:"
There's a place for us,
Kappa’s a place for us
Friends and sisters are everywhere
With their love
to share

We will wear the key
Always devotedly
In our college days and beyond
Time with sisters who share a bond
in Kappa

Kappa
We’ll find a new way of giving
We’ll find a new way of living
in Kappa

There's a place for us,
Kappa’s a place for us
Each day brings us a new ideal
in our hearts we will always feel
our love
for Kappa


I'm loving some of the Jack Johnson tunes these days. I think the lyrics from one of those could be modified into a beautiful pref night song.

Also, have you heard the John Mayer Kappa song? I can email it to you. You could have that playing on a continuous loop.
