I bought an old Pi Phi songbook several years ago on eBay. I love it! It was worth fighting to the death on at the end of the auction (this was before you could put your maximum bid in and people sniped a lot). I'd love to buy a CD of classic Pi Phi songs--does anyone know if we have one?

I have an old (1930's) Alpha Delta Pi Songbook, and one of the things it includes is a list of several of the other GLOs' "whistles"! I've got to dig that book out, the next time I'm at my house! One of our chapters made a CD for our 150th anniversary a few years ago - it's really good. But when I was in school, we found two old albums in our storage room from the 1960's - I found one on ebay, and plan to have it made into a CD for the laugh value!

BTW, I did get one of those pages from a songbook, one of our special songs. I had it framed for the local chapter, and it looks gorgeous!

KSUViolet - I love the idea of a cd - and am now dying to get my hands on Tri Sigmas. Hmmm . . . maybe when I visit y'alls headquarters I can get one.
?Wouldn't it be great if Gamma Phi Beta could get Kristen Chenowith to record one for us???

Honeychile, I understand wanting to frame a copy of the song - but couldn't a wonderful copy of the page be made on acid-free paper? I have actually thought about doing it and offering them through e-bay - they would be great for scrapbooking and crafts - and no books would have to be destroyed.

Absolutely! If an antique can be kept intact, by all means, it should be. *hangs head*

I own a 1905 Convention songbook for AXiD. It was only 3 years after nationalizing so many of the songs refer only to their double blue. No Gold. And they called themselves Alpha's. It's really cool! The only other I have seen is at Headquarters.

I put a few of the lyrics on the AXiD Forum over a year ago (maybe 2?) if anyone is interested...especially some of the AXiD's.
