[AlphaXiDeltaHottie]

HEY! I am from the Zeta Chi chapter at UNC-Wilmington. Are you looking for rush songs and chants? We have some of those I could send if that is what you are looking for. But we need some new chants for events... everyone sings about the same one, and we want something new, so if you can help me out that would be great. Thanks!
Xi love and mine, Christina

Hey Girls! I personally think my chapter's chants are outdated and kinda dumb, so if you come up with some good ones please let me know. Also, what kind of songs are you talking about? We are very much lacking in this area because no one teaches the songs and we don't even know all the songs for ritual (pretty pathetic, huh?). Please pass along any songs too. This would be greatly appreciated.

Somehow I ended up with the 1999 Convention song book, so if you girls don't have one of those floating around in your chapter, let me know. Also, have you heard "the Alpha Bunch" song? Anyhoo, I'll check in my folders for some fun songs.

[fuzzie]

I'm pretty sure that we don't have one of those songbooks in our chapter. What kind of stuff is in it. Also never heard of "the Alpha Bunch" song. Any song help would be greatly appreciated by myself and my chapter.

Songs in the Convention book are ones for ceremonies, and a few of them are in the Bonds, but the ones that you might not have are: Garden of Old Alpha Xi, Now We Are Sisters Together, The Thought in the Heart of the Rose, Tonight Will Never Come Again, Of Thee I Cherish, The Rose of Alpha Xi (different song than "I love the rose of Alpha Xi"), The Seasons, and Shades of Gold and Double Blue (a chapter favorite).

And then there are the less appropriate ones that our chapter president learned at the convention...

[ThetaOmegaXi]

Hey....
Well I can tell you a few songs that we do, I'll just list the names and if you want to know lyrics or anything let me know. Well we do the Rose (tune of Bette Midler's Rose--but AxiD lyrics), Rose Round, Battle Cry, Linger, Remember Alpha Xi Delta, A sisterhood of women, we're all good sisters, Pass it on....etc. Oh yeah and I wrote an AxiD song for the graduating seniors...I hope that answered your question...what do you do?

We do a chant to the tune of the Oscar-Meyer weiner song----I don't know if everyone does this song, but ti's really cute and a favorite among potential members. Let me know if you want the lyrics.

Hi, ladies!

My chapter is looking for some new door chants to use for formal fall recruitment next autumn. I personally really liked all of the ones that we did this year, but they just aren't that memorable to the new members. They can still remember songs from other houses, but none from Alpha Xi... Does anyone have any easy to learn door chants that might work for us?? I'd be REALLY grateful, and I know that our VP of Recruitment would be too.

[FuzzieAlum]

To the Oscar Meyer weiner tune:

My sorority has a first name
It's A L P H A
My sorority has a second name
It's D E L T A
The middle name is hard you see
It's spelled X I pronounced kay-zeeeee
A L P H A X I, D E L T A buh-bye!

They'll love it or hate it, but they'll remember it!

We have a cheer we learned from West Georgia. It's really fast and the faster you can say it the better. It goes:

Hottie Titte, Gosh Almighty, who the heck are we? Hey, flim flam, hot damn we're the Alpha Xi's! A-L-P-H-A X-I D-E-L-T-A Alpha Alpha Alpha Xi AZD sorority F-U-Z-Z-I-E Alpha Alpha Alpha Xi Delta!

It's a really great way to pep up the chapter or impress new people.

Xi love,
Tina

[FuzzieAlum]

That's cute!

Of course, if you're really desperate, you can always use

Delta! Delta! Alpha Xi Delta!
Anin Banan Geefan Way!
etc.

Somehow I think chants have changed from 100 yrs ago!

Hey Hootie, that's my chapter! Small world!

Yes, it's true. It's sort of the pledge class gift to the initiated members. There are a ton of songs to choose from, so we always have a variety. What we lack in chants we make up for in songs. It makes singing those songs even more memorable because they mean something to all of us. Whenever I hear the song "At the Beginning" from the Anastasia soundtrack, I kind of get all weepy b/c that's my pledge class song! Some songs we've used in the past, and put AXiD lyrics to, are:
-The Rose
-Save the Best for Last by Vanessa Williams
-Without You by the Dixie Chicks
-You'll be in My Heart from the Tarzan soundtrack
-Beautiful in My Eyes by Elton John
Also, it's a great way for your pledge class to leave their mark on the chapter!

[Fuzzie906]

With our chapter consisting of a LOT of former cheerleaders we have adapted old chants using AXiD words...
I don't know which all everyone has
But some of ours if anyone is interested...

Fuzzie 96 - I would love to have some of your chants. We are a colony so we do not have anything other than what is in the Bonds book.
We are starting to plan our formal rush and any songs/chants would be great! Thanks!
