there seems to be a Dr. Pepper Craze!
I'm a pepper, he's a pepper, she's a pepper
we're a pepper, wouldn't you like to be a pepper too?
I'am a pepper, he's a pepper, she's a pepper,
if you drink Dr. Pepper you're a pepper too!

Us peppers are an interesting breed
an original taste is what we need
ask any pepper and he'll say
Only Dr. Pepper tastes that way!

I'm a pepper, he's a pepper, she's a pepper
we're a pepper wouldn't you like to be a pepper too?
I'm a pepper he's a pepper' she's a pepper
We're a pepper wouldn't you like to be a pepper too?


Be a pepper, Drink Dr. pepper,
Be a pepper, Drink Dr. Pepper. (Come on!)
Be a pepper, Drink Dr. Pepper,
Be a pepper, Drink Dr. Pepper. (Alright!)
Be a pepper, Drink Dr. Pepper,
Be a pepper, Drink Dr. Pepper.
We never did all the words, we only did the bolded portion altered to the part above. I added the word "too" as I forgot it the other day. We did it as more of a chant on one of the party days.

How do we not have the words to Rock A Bye in this thread? I am posting it now, so that in my old age, I won't have to remember! Apparently one of our very esteemed members has a daughter that is FAR too enamored of ladybugs, so she needs to start singing this song asap!

If anyone has another verse or remembers the words differently, chime in! It seems like I am missing a verse.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Rock a bye, rock a bye my baby
Dream sweet dreams, dreams that someday maybe
you will be a Theta, too
and wear the black & gold

(then you make a shooshing sound that I am going to have to sing to you and you snap your fingers)

Don't you cry
there is no reason
Theta tears aren't the ones in season
Pi Phis sigh & Chi Os (or Tri Delts) cry
'cause they don't wear the kite

shooo sho sho shoo sho

Rock a bye, rock a bye my baby
dream sweet dreams
dreams that some day maybe
you will sing this when you're old
knitting little booties out of black & gold!

Hmm... found some songs that I am not familiar with when doing some Googling:

Theta Songs for the BIG Reunion


Theta Lips

Theta lips are smiling;
Theta eyes are too,
Theta love is sweetest;
Theta hearts are true,
Theta’s kite went sailing
Where the pansies grew Theta knows true friendship;
Theta, I love you.

Theta Town

Me and my gal from Theta town, town, town, town
I’d walk a million miles around,
We have our lemonade, picnics, parties, serenades;
Me and my gal from Theta town, town, town, town
To me she is just like a dream, dream, dream;
Got a figure like a Theta beauty queen.
You should see her gown,
It would really knock you down.
Me and my gal from Theta town.

Ring Out Three Cheers

Ring out three cheers for Theta, for Theta,
For we love her as you know;
And surely we’ll not forget her, forget her,
When at last we all must go,
And if we get gay and turn night to day,
It’s nobody’s business but our own, but our own;
Nobody’s business, nobody’s business,
Nobody’s business but our own.

A Beta and A Theta

A Beta and a Theta were a-neckin’ I declare,
Out behind the Beta house, they didn’t know I was there.
Oh, the Beta he was bold, the the Theta she was shy,
And when he asked her if he could, this was her reply,

“You can do it if you wanna, but you better do it right!
You better never do it like you did the other night!
‘Cause if you do, I’m telling you,
I’m never gonna let you, I’m never gonna let ya,
I’m never gonna let you,
Kiss me again!”

Smile Awhile

Smile awhile, as only Thetas do;
While twin starts are watching over you.
Theta eyes you know are true,
Glow with love from only you------
Theta lips come smiling through the years,
Poised to laugh and kiss away the tears;
Give your heart to one that’s true
To your Theta girl.

Boom, Boom

Boom boom, there is nothing but Theta,
Boom boom, for the one that I love.
Boom boom, there is nothing but Theta,
And the twin stars up above.
There’s a Theta kite for every girl that’s right,
And two twin stars shinning out so bright.
Boom boom, there is nothing but Theta,
Boom boom, for the one that I love.

Don’t Pick the Pansies

Please, please, don’t pick the pansies,
Don’t pick the pansies please, please.
Thetas have raised them, so stand back and praise them,
Our black and gold flowers must stay;
So don’t pick the pansies today.

We are Thetas (Theta), Thetas (Thetas)
You can tell by the gleam in our eye.

(Repeat the first verse)


Our Dear Theta (1965)

Now we’ve found in our dear Theta,
A sisterhood loyal and true,
Happiness filled us when we earned the right
To ever be true to the kite.
We’ve found there’s a new way of living,
Through kindness and giving to all,
We know we have found the best place for us---
Our Kappa Alpha Theta home.

Sisters (1966)

Sisters, we’ve learned from each other,
By sharing our problems along with our joys.
Giving each one to the other,
And forming a bond of true sisterhood.

Sisters, we’ve added new meaning to Theta,
Our choice, a new way of life.
Always, we’ll think of these days here,
So greatful to Theta for all we have gained.

Love (1967)


Love is the special way we feel each day,
With all our sisters here to share the way,
Love is the way we feel together here,
Knowing that Theta will be always near.
Faith in the twin stars shining,
Hope in our daily striving,
Love is the greatest of these three.

Theta Remembers (1968)

Theta remembers the hearts oh so tender,
As time goes on and paths are parting.

We will remember a love we surrender,
The love so true and ever growing.

Learning from sisters that living is loving,
And giving our all to the one we hold dear.

We will remember the hearts oh so tender
Our Theta.

Today (1969)

Today while the pansies still bloom in our hearts,
The love that we cherish lasts though we’re apart.
A million tomorrows may all pass away,
Ne’er we’ll forget all the joy that we share, today.

I’ll be a Theta, always a Theta,
You’ll know that I am b the smile that I wear.
Tearful and joyous, we’ll understand always,
Who cares what the morrow may bring.

Love is a mem’ry that time cannot alter,
A virtue without which we stand all alone.
Today we’re together, tomorrow a mem’ry,
To Theta we’ll always belong.

Does anyone else use this song for candle passings?

Tell me why the stars do shine
Tell me why the ivy twines
Tell me why the sky's so blue
And I will tell you, just why I love you

Because God made the stars to shine
Because God made the ivy twine
Because God made the sky so blue
Because God made you, that's why I love you

Come all ye sisters, and gather round
One of our sisters true love has found
And as we pass this candle bright
She'll know our love is with her tonight

Sure, it's on youtube during a Theta Candle Pass.
