I think it is not only okay to reuse songs, but if you are at a school with a ton of chapters, it helps to create a cohesive identity for your chapter. I suggest using perhaps different entrance songs, but using the same exit song for each of the earlier rounds.

I like this idea. I have this image of a PNM falling in love with the chapter and going home with the song stuck in her head every night.

I rushed 20 years ago, and I can remember many, many of the chants - even from houses I visited just one or twice.

The repetition is effective, and I think leaving them with the same chant each round (except prefs) is a great idea.

When I was a collegian - all of the chapters had to sing the same "Go Greek" song first round for entrance and exit.

The chapter I advise at - no one at our campus sings or chants first round, but then they do a different entrance and exit song for each day, plus songs for skit and prefs, so that comes out to be 8 or 9 songs. (in/out philanthropy, in/out skit + 1-2 group songs, in/out pref + group ceremony song.) Some chapters have instrumental music instead of a song for the pref entrance. It can be a lot to learn.

I feel like I will be the same. I know many of them too. Especially the house near, those poor girls have to practice at 8am during their spring workshops.

This is why I know the words to "Pat" eventhough I'm not a Kappa.
