Broadway songs

A friend of mine's Alpha Phi chapter did "Alpha Phi-ver". As in from the film "Saturday Night Fever". (Not really Broadway, but it took place in New York where Broadway is located.) I remember cause I helped some of the girls learn how to partner disco dance so they could be "the guy". Mind you, this was right after the film came out and while disco was popular.

I'm a summer camp counselor and we sing Pass It On/ The Spark Song. The first time we sang it during the summer, I sang the AOII version of it, oops! I got some weird looks from my campers! The Phi Mu chapter here sings it at their pref tea.

I KNEW I wasn't the only one who did that! REMEMBER was the one I liked - and try to be forced to sing it with your sister, who was singing a black and gold Theta version at the same time....hmmm. I should ask my dd if they have retired that one yet. My mom thought that was so special. I guess she thought if I couldn't be a Theta (they didn't have a chapter where I went to college), then AOII must be OK if they used the same song. Yep, thats what I based it all on, lol.

Gamma Phi Beta has a song called Remember, too. Is it the same song? It's often used at Pref.

Let's see . . ."Consider Yourself" from OLIVER! would be good . . . we always did a version of George M.Cohen's "H-A-R-R-I-G-A-N", which was from one of his Broadway musicals (G-A-double M - A , P-H-I spells Gamma Phi. Proud of all the loyalty that's in me - wish I had a pin so big it hid me, G-A-double M - A, P-H-I you see, it's a name, grown to fame, since it to our campus came, Gamma Phi for me!) His song "Mary" could be adapted, too.
I think "I joined the circus" from "Barnum" could easily be adapted ( I joined (NAME OF SORORITY) like I wanted to, when I was a kid, climbed aboard that great bandwagon and you bet your life I'm glad I did!) - OH, and "The colors of my life" from the same musical. I think I'm too old - all the Broadway songs I can think of the PNMs probably don't even know.
I love "Popular" from Wicked as a Gamma Phi song, but don't think it really suitable for rush (Gamma Phi - you're gonna be Gamma Phi! . . .but it celebrates the superficial, which of course is not what its all about(!) )
I'm just really no help at all, am I? Oh well . . .

I have the same problem with that song. I was a member of Rainbow girls (a masonic youth org.) and we have a version of that song... I've frequently used the wrong version for the organization I'm at an event for.
