What was your favorite chant?

[AOIIMontana]

No, at our chapter we have to pay for it and no one can afford it. The alum have allowed our president to go but she had to pay for 3/4ths of it and is going to ask around. Iam just racking my brain searching and trying to think of chants.

Unless they have changed it, as CP she would only have the small registration fee as a personal expense. Her travel and room/board is paid by HQ because she is a member of Council.

Did this change and I missed it?

Here are the 2 that we did most of the time:

#1
A-A-A with an O
O-O-O with a Pi
A with an O
O with a Pi
A-O-Pi
*clap throughout
(repeat 3 times)

#2
A-A-A O Pi
Roses Pandas til we die
Sheaf of Wheat, is our pin
AOII til the end.

Togetherness, we love our chapter
Sisterhood forever after
Red,White - colors true
AOII lets you be you
*clap throughout

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHhhhhhh

A-O-PI!

It hasn't changed - she only has to pay the registration fee, but unfortunately I think it is too late. I think June 15 was the absolute last day to register. She may want to call HQ and beg though. It might be worth it and she could get some good recruitment ideas!

Cute cheers!

Hi AOIIMontana! If you haven't already, get in touch with your Recruitment Adviser and CNS for help (don't worry, this is my normal response around here!) We also have some amazing MRCs at HQ who can help with all things recruitment. Shameless plug for one of my chapters: on the Phi Chi song page they have the words to "A O Cutie Pi".

As for the CP's registration fee, if someone had to cancel last minute there may be an open registration. It might be hard to swing airfare but she might get lucky on a last minute fare or on Southwest. Has she talked about this with your CNS to see what can be done so she could attend Convention? Good luck!

Hi, MSU alum here. I really hope your CP will be going to Convention. I really want to meet her! I am not in MT anymore, but am in Colorado and a chapter adviser (VPCR & Ritual) and alum chapter president. I will go through my files and dig up some chants for you (other than the ones from Alpha Phi Chapter!) and send them to you.

You guys have a great CA, Kerry; CNS, Marji and CND, Kristy. You are in great hands!

I think of Alpha Phi Chapter all the time and wish you all the very best.


I'll see you at Homecoming!

90 years at MSU!

<hijack>MSUAOII, I'll be at Convention. Hope to meet you there!</hijack>

Oh, and of course, welcome to GC!

Sorry to crash, but I was a Rho Gamma this past spring and I remember this chant:

A....L-P-H-A
O-M-I-C-R-O-N
P-I
A-O-Pi
Alpha Alpha Omicron Pi!

And this one, it's kind of a song but catchy and you can definitely make it a little more chanty by clapping or do a harmony. I can't obviously give you the tune over the internet, but maybe a consultant has heard of this one:

Re-mem-mem
mem-mem-mem-mem-ber
A-O-Pi
Sisters forever
Laughing, singing, doing whatever
We have fun when we're together

This one is to the tune of Supercalifragilisticexpialadocious. Alpha Epsilon Phi actually did this one but it would work for AOPi as well since it has the same number of beats. The hint is that the emphasis ends up on the "C":

A-L-P-H-A-O-M-I-C-R-O-N Pi!
You can only say it if you really really try
Ask who's the best sorority and then we will reply
A-L-P-H-A-O-M-I-C-R-O-N Pi!
