My only issue with the Toast Song is, as Randy (Naraht) indicated, we legally cannot claim it as our own, as the tune was created and copyrighted by a non-brother, we just "borrowed" the tune and put our own lyrics in it. So in a sense, we are plagurising the "Toast Song" tune.
Rather that scrapping the Toast Song entirely, I would recommend someone come up with a tune original to Alpha Phi Omega with lyrics suitable for all brothers, and make that the official fraternity song, and make the Toast Song the unofficial song. That way, the Toast Song can be sung any way the chapter involved so desires, and the Fraternity song can be truly claimed as our own, and most likely no objections should arise.
I have heard this online debate on the Toast Song for 10 years, and I am surprised that no one thought to add a 2nd song.
