DG Songs

[AngieWashU]

I love Dream Girl! The only time my chapter sang it was during candlepasses, so I can never hear it enough! (Sure, I say that now... )

My favorite DG song is probably "When You Go Away to College", although a CDC taught me a pretty song to the tune of "Dona Nobis Pachem" that I would love to hear a chapter sing.

post the lyrics!

Dee Gee and the Anchor
Now they are mine
Love and sisterhood
Through our lifetime

(It is either "our lifetime" or "my lifetime"). Enjoy!

A convention in DC a few years ago they gave all chapters a CD with the DG songs on it plus a binder with the lyrics. You might check with EO to see if they are still available. I liked being able to hear the tune to the songs as well as have the words.

Wow, my chapter must be a lot different than all of yours...

I've been in my chapter for almost 3 years now and I've never heard "When You Go Away to College" or "Big Toe"... And we've only sang "Dream Girl" twice...

But we do have a lot of fun songs we sing during Fall Recruitment.



This first one is to the tune of "High Flying Flag"

We're the Dee Gee Crew and we're welcoming youuu
To our house full of friendship and fun

:::::clap clap:::::

Let us tell you offfffff the house we loveeeeeeeeeee
The house that we know is for you

:::::clap clap:::::

Oh our hearts beat true for the bronze, pink and blueeee
And our anchors and sisters too

:::::clap clap:::::

So remember us at Delta Gee and keep your eye on the Dee Gee Crew

:::::clap clap:::::



This other one, we do for a different day/phase of Fall Recruitment
(Just clap throughout the entire song at an even/sort of fast pace)

Ohhhhh I wanna be a dee geeee
Oh yes, Oh yes, Oh yes I do

I wanna be a dee geeeee
And wear the bronze and pink and blue

Drop your anchorrrr,
Come and beeee,
Part of our sororityyyyy

We love Dee Geeeeeee,
So will youuuuu,
If you drop your anchor too

Thank you for posting those lyrics! I have never heard the song that goes to "Your A Grand Old Flag" but I am taking the words to my chapter so we can start practicing! We are always looking for new songs!

Dream Girl is my favorite too (obviously--i.e. my signature) and I sing it to my baby as a lullaby. I also sing her the one that goes "Out of my window, looking at the night / I can see your anchors shining bright / Swiftly flows the river to the sea / And your anchors do go silently / D G, I would like to go with you / I would like to sail the ocean blue..." She loves both of them!

I think the problem that most people are having is confusing the DG songs that are used for all the rituals with the chants (even the chants that are sung to a tune) from recruitment. That's why some people are like "I've never heard of that song..."

Also, I'm not sure if the song that Delta Iota sings for Senior Installation is a chapter thing, or if everyone uses the same one...but if there's a DG from UGA reading this, could you post the lyrics? I love that song and I tear up every time I hear it, but I can't remember the words.

My chapter at Duke used to sing the Dona Nobis Pachem song (DG and the Anchor). We sang it in a three part round, which was beautiful and perfect for prefs or rituals when you need songs to last for a while!
