Hey AXO Alum (I know it's old) are you talking about:

I wanna be an Alpha Chi
BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM
And baby that ain't no lie
etc...?

We have a really cute one called "Madness"

We also have a chant with clapping that takes a week to learn because if one person messes up it's all over. It's called "Hey Go Alpha"

We also sing one to the tune of "witch doctor" it's cute but we sing it every day except pref when the girls come in. By the end of the week we want to kill the next person who starts the song.

We also have a chant that is really high energy that we yell (scream at the top of our lungs) right before the PNMs come in. I don't know if any other chapters use it or if it's a secret.

"Don't CHEW Don't CHEW Don't CHEW.....
Boom Boom Boom Boom..."

LOL - yep - the one and only!!

"We call it fun but you may call it madddddnesssss
Stay here awhile and you'll forget your sadddddnesssss...."

Love that song! It is sooo fun!

Here's the other one:

Hey Go Alpha - Hey Go Alpha - Hey Go Alpha Chi Omega
(repeat twice going faster each time -- and you gotta remember to do your arms in the shape of the letters while you sing)

And who could ever forget the witchdoctor song:

"ALPHA CHI'S THE BEST
[You're Right]
BETTER THAN ALL THE REST
[You're Right]
SOUND OFF...A - L...BRING IT ON DOWN...
P-H-A-C-H-I-O-M-E-G-A

A-L-P-H-A-C-H-I-OMEGA
We are the Alpha Chi's and we are really GREAT
[clap clap clap clap]
We wear our lyre pins high and there is no mistake
[clap clap clap clap]
We are the GREATEST girls in all the 50 states - we're singing...
A-L-P-H-A-C-H-I-OMEGA
A-L-P-H-A-C-H-I-OMEGA"

My alltime favorite!!

~~~~~

We also do our freaking Hidy Tidy chant (except the chapter I advise does it differently than my chapter).

Email me with this secret chant -- we could use it!

MUCH LOVE TO MY SISTER, LYRELYRE for bringing out the membories!

Ditto. Thanks, lyrelyre and AXOAlum. Heres another couple:

chant:
A-L-P-H-A C-H-I Oh my
O-M-E-G-A
Alpha Chi !

and

Whose that girl in red and green?
Shes a mans desire.
Shes the one they call a dream.
Shes the one they all admire.

Talking about A-L (A-L) P-H (P-H) A C-H-I O
Alpha Chi at (Your U) is the only way to go
You want to go A-Chi-O

I assume you are an SAI, right? Well my SAI chapter actually sings songs out of the songbook. So near so dear is very impressive...we had rushees crying, which is usually something I saw in my social sorority, but not SAI. Of course we sing the chorale and we invite them in the circle with us, which is kinda cool.

You can take any pep cheer you know and turn it into an SAI song too. PM me if you want some ideas...gotta go teach lessons!!!!!

DeeGee at USM had a similar chant...

D-E-L-T-A Delta D-E-L-T-A
G-A-double M-A Gamma G-A-double M-A
We are the Delta Gamma's
We're bronze, pink and blue
We are the Delta Gamma's
Don't you wanna be a Dee Gee too...

Chi O's use to have one also, that was very catching..

We had several, I still catch myself singing...

Pi, Pi Beta Phi
P-I P-H-I, Pi Phi
Me for my Pi Beta Phi
For I just LOVE Pi Beta Phi!!!

The DGs at LSU use that same song. The Pi Phis here have one that goes "Ain't nothing but Pi Phi, everwhere I go, there's friendship and dating and good times always wating boom boom boom boom.." and it repeats over and over

Without a doubt, the most annoying rush song is Phi Mu's.
"Lady, won't you be my baby,
my phi mu baby,
I love you.
My phi mu lady, won't you be my baby?
You know I love you and always do
and in the springtime
it will be ring time
in a little cottage built for 2, 3, 4, 5.
(the next part they SCREAM)
CAN'T YOU HEAR ME SAYING THAT I LOVE YOU TRUE
MY PHI MU!

You can hear them all up and down the row they're so loud

[KillarneyRose]

By the light of the Lamp
By the light of the Lamp
By the bright, shiny light
By the light of the Lamp

If you wanna be a DeeZee, just come along with me
By the bright, shiny light of the Lamp

Yeeee Ha!!!

OR

I am a D
I am a Z
I am a D-E-L-T-A-Z-E-T-A
and I will L-O-V-E love
my S-I-S-T-E-R-S
we'll be together F-O-R-E-V-E-R-M-O-R-E!
(over and over, louder and louder!)

Hey AXO Alum aren't you from a Texas Chapter?

We use to sing "We are the greatest girls in all the lone star state"

[lyrelyre]

And we sang:
"We are the greatest girls at Oklahoma State"

We sing that song at my Girl Scout camp in the summer...

[lyrelyre]

How does the whole thing go?

Um, I don't know if you are asking me this question, but I'll answer it. I would also really like to hear the 'sorority' version! At my camp, it's done in halves... one half of the group sings/chants the camp name, while the other half sings the lyrics, which go...

We call it fun but some may call it madness,
So come on with us and wipe away your sadness.
Happy campers are we having fun 'neath the trees.
And when we are gone we'll remember our song.
We call it (camp name, repeating, while other half sings the lyrics...)

It's really cute, I love that song - the first two lines are sorta a bonding for the camp counselors because it is a CRAZY job...

So what's the sorority version?

[BrownEyedGirl]

I've heard this ZTA version of 'Madness' before:

We call it fun but you might call it madness,
So stay here with us and you'll forget your sadness.
We're the crown, shield and pearls,
We're the true-hearted girls,
And when we are gone you will remember our song...

We are the Zeta Tau Alpha, Zeta Tau Alpha, Zeta Tau Alpha
GIRLS!

(then repeat a million times!!)

[valkyrie]

Oh, that reminds me of the Gamma Phi Beta rush song --

We are the girls who really are amazing
With our spirit and pep we'll drive you plum crazy
With our crescent and pearls
We are true hearted girls
And after we're gone you'll remember our song
Gamma Phi Beta
Gamma Phi Beta
Gamma Phi Beta
Gam, oh!

We are the girls...
(also repeat a million times)

[PhiSigFly]

i have never heard the pep-smile song! I think it sounds super cute.... This is a hard question to answer but how does the beat go? We also sing "Pass it On" but thats my favorite song!!

Here's ours:

Stay here with us and you'll forget your sadddddnesssss
With our lyres and pearls
We are true hearted girls
And when you are gone
You will remember our song
We are the Alpha Chi Omega
Alpha Chi Omega
Alpha Chi Omega Girls!

[Lil' Hannah]

I've had friends from other chapters at other schools start spontaneously singing

Delta, Delta Gamma, I'm so happy that I am a
Delta, Delta Gamma with my sidekick, a little Hannah
When you see a DG walkin'
You will hear the others talkin'
How that wish that they could be
Just like me, a little DG

I think that one is universal. We do Hey Look Us Over, but not Pass It On (thank goodness) but I've heard Pass it on plenty of times from friends.
