What a perfect song for ADPi!!!!!

Yes, I know, but we did the version from Moulin Rouge.

Oh, this brings back a lot of memories - songs I hear in the elevator -and think of AOPi songs...


"Girl of AOPI...you'll be one forever" by some crooner and didn't you all have a version of Pass It On?? Not from church camp?

My mom always wanted me to sing "Remember" with my sister - who was a Theta like her = we had different words = she made me do it in front of my own dd, the Theta.... in PUBLIC (you don't say no to my mama, I didn't REALLY sing it)

[OldAOPi]

Not to date our songs - this was back in the dark ages of the late 70's.....we thought we were pretty hot when we changed my junior year to a Grease theme skit and song.

I was a PNM last year, and I would have liked Annie, the Wizard of Oz or Grease, because everyone knows them. I probably would have thought that it was weird for a chapter to do hairspray or wicked, even though they're big now, because they're still less well known, and even if people know their songs, they're less likely to get the plot. That might just be me though.

You are, of course, right, Irishpipes - the song was "Maybe". Don't even know where I got "Somewhere" - was I thinking "West Side Story". Don't know - blech.

Was the song from Annie "Tomorrow"? We always tease my roomie's daughter about it, because when she was a baby, my roomie was in a theatre group, doing Annie. As she would sing "The sun will come out...", her baby would say, "Tomowwow." It was hysterical!

We've used "Diamonds Are A Girl's Best Friend", "Pass It On", "Sweet Home ADPi", a particularly horrible version of "People", and many, many more. Ugh.

Let's see - one time when we went out to help AOII recolonize Chi Delta (I think it was around 1980) we had to sing The Rose. Yuck. Took forever - was a little --- s -- l -- o -- w..... Bette Midler we weren't!

[Glitter650]

To the tune of ROXIE from chicago..


The name on everybody's lips is gonna be PHI SIG
the ladies rakin' in the chips are gonna be PHI Sig

On campus we are celebrities that means sombody everyone knows

They're gonna recognize our eyes, our hair, our smile our fun our goals

From just some lowly undergrad we're gonna be PHI SIG

Who says that college life is a boar

and who'd of guessed as friends we'd hang

and start off college with a bang Phi sigma.

We have a song to the rose as well.... it's LLOOONNGG and the words are really nice... but it's the one song that everyone grumbles about when we have to practice it with the new ladies. =)

We didn't, but when my daughter was singing it, I said, "Oh, like Pass It On"...and she had never heard of Pass It On.

I guess they don't sing it at church camp anymore!

[FSUZeta]

omg.....i forgot about "pass it on". during my time at fsu we incorporated a new pref. ceremony and that song was part of the ceremony. i renamed it"the song that goes on and on." not one of my favorites!

[SWTXBelle]

It does rather ruin a song once you sing it for rush - it's hard to remember the "real" words! We used the Theme from Ice Castles (shudder!) at Pref.

I seriously will never remember the "real" words to "Sweet Home Alabama" because it will always be "Sweet Home Delta Gamma" to me!

[SWTXBelle]

"Material Girl" will always be "Sorority Girl" to me . . .I remember . . ."But the girls who get the boys are pledging G Phi B!" and ending with "and I am just a Gamma Phi Girl!"
Ah, the 80s . . .
Oh my gosh. You could do such a great 80s skit . . .I'm thinking of all that great music . . .We also did a version of "Girls Just Want to Have Fun".

Um, it's actually "Sweet Home, Kappa Gamma!"
