Rush Songs

[shorty5feet2]

I was wondering what rush songs other chapters use. ours are not nearly catchy enough (HIGH LOW every where you go... and rah rah for kappa kappa gamma are what we use now). i was wondering if anyone could write out some of their fav rush songs. thanks!

I quite like "Oh Pat"...it's fun!

[ISUKappa]

Oh Pat is always a favorite.

We always did:

* The Owl, the key, the blue the blue
* Rah Rah
* Go Kappa (ba doom ba doom)
* Dream awhile
* Kappa chant (K- (K) KKG (KKG) Kappa (Kappa))
* And when we tell you

We use a song called Mmm, My Sister. It's sung really softly, and is really pretty for Prefs.

Mmmm, my sister
Mmmm, my sister
Couldn't get along without you now
Got along with out ya before I met ya but I sure couldn't do it now

Came to college just to find
A group of girls that were my kind
Now I know I've found the best
Kappa Gamma's above the rest

It's really pretty if you have sisters that can sing the slightly deeper harmony part.

We also use a song called "How'd You Like to be a KKG," which is very fun and show tune-y.

How'd you like to be a KKG
How'd you like to wear the golden key
Do the things that all the Kappas do
Wear the blue and blue
Loyal and True
To Kappa Gamma she's the best of all
Friendships fade but never seem to fall
Come and join the best Fraternity
Kappa Kappa Gamma with me

This year for recruitment, we used the following songs:

- Rah Rah for Kappa Kappa Gamma
- K-a-p-p-a K-a-p-p-a G-a-m-m-a, Kappa Kappa Gamma, Hey!
- Oh Pat
- parody from Bon Jovi's "It's My Life" (let me know if you would like the words)
- Got Along
- Up on Monmouth College
- Dream Awhile

Also, our 3rd round was a '70s themed skit, where we took a lot of '70s songs and changed words to Kappa-fy them! (ABC by the Jackson 5 into "KKG, easy as you and me, as simple as golden key, fleur-de-lis, KKG, sister you and me girl.... and a bunch of others!)

I've never heard "Up on Monmouth College." How do the lyrics go?

[LuvUTrulyKKG]

"Up on Monmouth College"

Up on Monmouth College, in 1870,
half a dozen college girls as cute as they could be,
thought they knew the meaning of the word fraternity,
so they bound themselves together
and called it KKG!

Call her up, <hand to ear like a phone> Sigma Nu, get a date! <clap, clap>
Hurry Up, <tap wrist, like tapping a watch> Sigma Chi, don't be late! <clap, clap>
Tip your hat, <put hand up to imaginary hat on top of your head> KA, <tip your hat down> in that good old southern way,
cause a Kappa takes her pick and she won't wait!<clap, clap>

I hope this wasn't too confusing to follow with the motions...

I had forgotten this one! I even remember the tune now that I see the words again. I think we said "Up in Monmouth College" instead of "Up on Monmouth College" and "SAE" in place of "Sigma Nu," but other than that, it's the same. Fun song!

[sherbertlemons]

I really wish there was some way to convey the tune on here. That does sound like a really fun song.

sherbertlemons, I'm going to PM you with a try!

*sees this message* *is confused at lack of pm*

[MSKKG]

It took a while to type it all out, but your PM should be there by now!

[LuvUTrulyKKG]

the tune... ahh!

for days (well at least since i have posted the lyrics), my real fam and my kappa big and her fam have been trying to figure out words that go with the tune that are not kappa-related. like a little kids song... and we can't remember or think of them for the life of us! anyone know?

[MSKKG]

In my PM to sherbertlemons, I told her that I didn't know if the tune was familiar because it's from another song or if I was remembering the tune to this song! It sounds like some sort of drinking song.
