UGAnchora, do y'all still do this one?

Dear old A D Piiiiii
The girls at Phiiiii Mu will see you no more
When you walk through the D G door

[UGAnchora]

Nope! Never heard it! Maybe because it mentions the other sororities?

This is prolly my fav fast-cheer song for AXO. It gets stuck in your head and you sing it for days!! Our chapter loves it!

We also do Boom-Boom-Boom-Boom -- silly song, but it does get stuck in there also!

Gamma Phi had a similar one with this funny clapping thing -- no one could get it out of their heads all week!
Sung in rounds...
half singing Gam-ma Phi Be-ta, Gam-ma Phi
And the other half singing:
We are the girls
Who really are amazing
With our crescent and pearls
We are true hearted girls
(can't remember the last line..ugh)

Oh yeah, I've still got that one stuck in my head from January! It's cute! But annoying, when it's stuck and won't get out! Another song that I remember is from Pi Phi's pref, they sang "Linger" which occasionally "lingers" in my head and won't leave. Theta didn't do a lot of chants and songs that I remember, although I know some now from serenades...but at pref they sang some song by Amy Grant who was a Theta.

I have never heard this chant myself, but a friend of mine knows some aopi's at murray state and they have a cheer that is along the lines of:

"don't gimme no bread, no bread
don't gimmie no meat, no meat
just gimme that Pi, that Pi..."

I don't know how it ends, but I think that's hilarious! It makes me wish for a Pi in my GLO just to be able to say that chant! This one has staying power b/c I've never even met an AOPI and that's stuck in my head!

[AlphaGamDiva]

this was in my head for weeks....and i have to watch it around greek week or any greek event or else it gets stuck again....will prob be in my head after i post this

K-A-PP-A KAPPA K-A-PP-A
D-E-L-T-A DELTA D-E-L-T-A

don't you wanna be a KD, too

and

SIGMA KAPPA
SIGMA K
SIGMA KAPPA ALL THE WAY

SIGMA K!

[HotDamnImAPhiMu]

This is totally off subject but FAB*Spicey Spice's description of the Deltas doing their little hand signals during the chant reminded me of working at TGI Friday's the summer after my senior year in high school....

We had to sing happy birthday, of course, so someone would round up a bunch of waitresses and we'd go over. And there was always this AWFUL guy, Leo, who would say, "OK, guys, let's do the short version," and we'd all go down on one knee to sing it.

*groan*

it was cute though.

And, of course, my favorite Phi Mu chant goes,

Highty Tighty God Almighty!
Who the hell are YOU?!
Flim Flam HOT DAMN
I'M A PHI MU!

The one that I still remember those most from recruitment is Tri Delt's.

Ahhhhh Delta!
Delta!
Delta Delta Delta!
Delta Three
Delta Tri
Delta Delta Til We Die!

They'd stand in the door and make Delta signs with their hands while squatting down and singing this. (This is a horrible explanation, it was absolutely adorable what they did, I just can't think of how else to say it.)

It's so catchy, when we did mock recruitment with them last year our whole house was chanting this back at our house b/c it really sticks in your head! That's my fav one though.

My little sister is a tri-delt and the other day she was singing this exact song. it is so catchy - i couldn't get it out of my head for days

LOL -- good...it is supposed to linger...right into the part where they sign their bid cards!!!

For those of you who don't know it...

We'd like to linger
A little longer
A little longer here with you
We hate to say goodbye
Remember Pi Phi
True sisters in the wine and blue

(sung over and over with little humming in between, as the PMN's are leaving...)

And another good leaving pref song...still gives me goosebumps --

Remember
The Pi Phi arrow
The wine and silver blue
The loyalty and the friendship
That you know it will bring to you
Forget all the other's pleadings
Their symbols burning bright
Come put on the Pi Phi arrow
And you'll know you've chosen right

Gamma Phi has versions of those songs as well - and they are definitely catchy!

Our linger:
We'd like to linger
A little longer
A little longer here with you
This is a perfect night
It doesn't seem quite right
That this should be our last goodbye
And come September
We'll remember
Our sisterhood and friendships true
And as the years go by
I'll think of you and sigh
It's not goodbye it's just goodnight!

We actually usually sing that after remember...

Remember Gamma Phi Beta
Remember while you're away
Remember the friends you've made here
And don't forget to come back someday
Remember the pink carnation
The crescent in the sky
And keep truly ever with you
The mem'ry of Gamma Phi...

That's funny our linger is VERY similar to yours amd Pi Phi's. It goes:

Mmmm Mmmm I want to linger
Mmmm Mmmm A little longer
Mmmm Mmmm A little longer here with you
Mmmm Mmmm It's such a perfect night
Mmmm Mmmm It doesn't seen quite right
Mmmm Mmmm We've had a lovely time with you

I think that I maybe missing something but it goes something like that.

[DeeGeePrincess]

HAHAHA OMG...we use that same song too!!!!

[trisigmaAtl]

hee! it's sooo funny how many sorority songs are the same or only slightly different. It's been discussed before that almost everyone sings "pass it on" and we also sing linger, boom boom, and born and bred. My Alpha Gam friend and I were sharing songs one night and were so suprised about how many we had in common!

we have one song that goes:

Today purple violets grow deep in our hearts,
they bind us in sisterhood though we may part..."
etc etc.

and her chapter had a song by the same tune that also started with "today..." but incorporated roses etc. we were both kind of like "hey?!" and it turned out there were lots more.

perhaps it's just one more thing that bonds us panhellenically.

We use Linger also!! Our last line is different though...
Mmmm Mmmmm If it's the last we spend with you.
(and we sing the whole thing twice but the second time we add on a second 'with you' at the end)

I can never get that song out of my head during recruitment. We sing it at the end of each night.
But I love Rush so Its ok!!
