The Ramble of the Teke

I'm big on songs and chants, this was written by the Russel D. Miller of the Epsilon chapter. I found it in the Songs of Tau Kappa Epsilon published circa 1961:

He rambled to a college town, her thought he'd start a frat
He looked around and looked around to see where he was at,
(And) Just because he was the best that ever came that way
The colors that he wore each day were cherry and the grey

He rambled up to Heaven to see the fellows there
And there they were all loafing around the golden stair
Some were smoking cigarettes and He was at His ease
For they were all good friends of His and frater T.K.E.'s

He rambled down to Hades to see the poor, lost souls
The STG's and Sigma Pi's were roasting on the coals
The Theta Xi's and the PSK's to burn had just begun
While all the Teke's on velvet seats were watching all the fun

He had a talk with Moses, he interviewed St. Paul
He met the wives of Solomon and kiss them one and all
And when with Cleopatra he floated down the Nile
She said "I like the Teke's the best, they never cramp my style."

(The) Phi Kappa Psi's were labeled bums and laid upon the shelf
When in came in old Beelzebub, the King of Hell himself
He gave the boys a hearty grip and it was plain to see:
He was a charter member and a damn good T.K.E.

Adam was the first man to ever wear the pin
Solomon was the wisest the Teke's have taken in
Samson was a strong man but he had the itch
If Julius Caesar came back to life we'd pledge the son-of-a-bitch

These aren't the original organizations from the song, I changed them for us

YITB,
Justin - Kappa Kappa, 522

I'd venture to say that every chapter has variations on the same we have our own version of yo ho in fact I'd venture to say that most fraternities in general have variations on these in fact I know a few Pike chapter that do the "born in the (whatever you like)" chant, in my chapters case it's the backwoods and raised in a cave but whatever.

Most of these seem to be based largely on the chapters local rivals for instance
one of our toasts

You're an asshole
I'm an asshole
we're assholes til we die
but I'd rather be an asshole
than a gd sigma chi

and then of course I don't know a fraternity on earth that doesn't do "here's to the breezes." If you don't know it just look it up.

I would be lying to say that i had not sang half of these chants, but is there one of you gentleman that are a bit tired of us being portrayed as drunken rapists? TKE means more to me than most things in my life, is there any chant that i can be proud of?

I resent being referred to as drunken.

You make an interesting point here. I was initiated at a very large chapter where we never had any of these chants. It wasn't until I started visiting some of the other chapters that I began hearing all of these. I was embarrassed by most of them, because they don't at all portray what TKE means to me. It's no wonder that so many of our chapters have bad reputations with girls on their campuses. I'll take the old time TKE songs that we rarely hear any more any day of the week over the ignorant chants about getting drunk and degrading women.
