Which chants and/or songs STILL come to mind?

[SWTXBelle]

The Call of Zeta!

I hear the call of Zeta,
it always is within me,
and keeps me ever loyal
to my fraternity.
The (something I don't remember)
the (more stuff I don't remember)
are emblems of the true love
that keeps me Z T A.

missing words: The turquoise and the silver,
Our flower and our motto
Are emblems of a true love
That makes us ZTAs.

oops-didn't realize that someone had already supplied the missing words. sorry!


from my days as a rushee, three groups songs/chants stick out in my mind:

the kappas sang "i'm a kappa kappa gamma". the tune is Yankee doodle dandy.

the chi o's did a really cute chant that introduced their members in groups , designated by where they were from-the miami girls, the orlando girls, the jacksonville girls, etc. very cute!

tri delta did a chant that was very catchy. even if you could not understand all the words(which i could not) the rhythm stayed with you. hopefully it was not exclusive only to the fsu tri delt chapter and someone can supply the words.

"ohhhhh, ohhhhhh, the delta, the delta, the delta,delta delta,
and then a lot of words said really fast, with the chant ending "full of vim and gooooo, ohhhh, the delta the delta, the delta, delta , delta" and then they started over.

If I walk at a certain gait, "Gamm-a Phi Bet-a, Gamm-a Phi Beta-a" will start in my head, and I'll have an ear worm of:

I love the crescent moon,
shining in the sky,
and I love the pink carnation,
'til the day I die,
true to our motto,
Founded on a rock!
Gamma Phi Beta, Gamma Phi Beta, Gamma Phi Beta, Gamma Phi Beta

Thanks - it's only been 26 years since I heard it!

TriSig was next door to us and my bedroom overlooked their porch. I have learned quite a few by accident. I think the one that sticks in my head the most is:

T-R-I,
T-R-I-S-I-G-M-A-S
Oh yes
Sigmas are the best

And when I was a Rho Chi we learned different songs for all the GLOs on campus. I don't remember all the words, but the Sigma Kappa one with the hand motions and talking about "the mystic bonds" was one of my favs.

The kd and the dz at my school both do this chant and it always gets stuck in my head

"We are the kappa deltas, don't you wanna be a kd too, don't you wanna be a kd too"


or

"we are the delta zetas, don't you wanna be a dz too, dont you wanna be a dz too"


of the Phi Mu chants, this one always gets stuck in my head

"i wanna be a phi mu a phi mu
way deep deep
way down down
way deep deep
way down down in my heart, whooo!"

32 years since Rush for me, but I still remember:

I'm a DZ, she's a DZ, we're all DZ's, If you love Delta Zeta, you're a DZ, too---Be a DZ, Be a Be a DZ!

Oh Delta Gamma, That's what I am a
Delta Gamma, oh Delta Gamma--DG, DG!

We are ADPi's, Ra Dee Do Da
Alpha Delta Pi's, Ra Dee Do Da
And we love our sisters, truly--Ra Dee Do, Ra Dee Do Da!

Last but forever first in my mind & heart---

Boom Boom, I want to be a Pi Beta Phi
Boom Boom and Honey, That ain't no lie
Boom Boom I want to be a Pi Beta Phi, Don't you?
I want to wear the arrow, and the wine and blue,
I want to find the friendships that are so very true
Boom Boom I want to be a Pi Beta Phi
Don't You, don't you, don't you, won't you?

I used to sing these songs in the shower getting ready each day of rush!

Also--from Bid Night:

Give my regards to DG, remember me to KKG, Tell all the girls down at the Theta house they won't be seeing me. Tell them that I am yearning to shoot my golden arrow high-- Give my regards to all the rest, and tell them
I just pledged Pi Phi!
l

[barbino]

Oh, Wait--I forgot what was probably the best one on campus (University of Kentucky) at the time:

How ya gonna keep um down on the Farm, After they've seen KD?
How ya gonna keep um away from College, they'll love it so, that is if they go KD and after they discover that certain charm the boys all seem to know
They'll never want to date another College girl, They'll only want to date a
Kappa Delta girl!!
Come back and pin me,
RaDeeDoDa
After they've seen KD!

We did this one, with ADPi, of course:

Boom Boom, I want to go ADPi
Boom Boom, and Baby that ain't no lie
Boom Boom, I want to go ADPi - Don't You?
Boom Boom, I want to wear white and blue
Boom Boom, and wear that diamond too!
Boom Boom, I want to go ADPi - Don't you?
We really are the sisters
Known for Loyally
We can't be beat on friendship
It's ADPi for me!
Boom Boom, I want to go ADPi
Boom Boom, and Baby that ain't no lie
Boom Boom, I want to go ADPi
Don't you, don't you, don't you - won't YOU?

But the one that drives me absolutely crazy is whenever I hear someone say "bye bye":

Bye bye, bye bye
Wipe a tear, baby dear, don't cry!
We hate to see you go!
You'll soon be back we know!
Don't cry, don't sigh
Won't do to be blue, ADPi
Cheerio ring-ding, bon soir we sing
Boom da de boom, BYE BYE!

Everyone in my office now knows that one!

I hear the call of Zeta.
It binds me to her ever,
And though we leave her college,
She'll keep us as her own.

Chorus

Verse 3
The turquoise and the silver,
her flower and her motto,
Are emblems of her true love
That make us Z-T-A's.


Full version for those curious

I really think this song is what made me go Zeta. Thanks so much for this. I can still hear this after all of these years.

There's one I remember (3 years after graduation) from being next to Delta Zeta at Bid Night that starts out with:

I'm a DZ
You're a DZ
She's a DZ
We're all DZ's
Wouldn't you like to be a DZ too?

It's the Dr. Pepper song, right? Kappa did the same thing.

I was visiting some of my sisters this week and I was reminded of this chant that we used during recruitment.

Boom Boom, there will be nothing but Theta
Boom Boom, for the girls we love
Boom Boom, there will be nothing but Theta
With the blue skies up above

There's a Theta kite for every girl that's right and two twin stars are shining bright!

Boom Boom, there will be nothing but Theta
Boom Boom, for the girls we love
Boom Boom Theta!
