The difference is those "two or three words" are two or three VERY IMPORTANT words.
Every fraternity and sorority I've ever come in contact with has "unofficial" songs - the one naraht quoted is one I've heard numerous groups use, so it certainly isn't an "APO song." It's nothing to get offended over, unless of course you're PC to the gazillionth power.

So if we DON'T sing or approve of the altered version, it's NOT our beloved organization?
What the??
I'm linking this thread, because it sums up what I want to say when people get hung up about all this "gender" business.
