What was your favorite chant?

[AlphaO7]

Here's some that we used during recruitement:

"Oh when she's walking down the street
she's got that lok that can't be beat
when you ask the reason why
it's cause shes an AOII
AOII's the place to be
it's the only one for me
so come on we'll show you why
we're the best we're AOII"

Boom, Boom, Boom, Boom
I wanna go AOII and baby that ain't no lie
Boom, boom, boom, boom
I wanna go AOII don't you?
uh huh!
I wanna go AOII and wear those rubies and pearls
boom, boom, boom, boom
I wanna go AOII, don't you?
Yes ma'am!
For we are truly sisters
we ahve so such loyalty
we cant be beat on friendship
it's AOII for me!
boom, boom, boom, boom
i wanna go AOII
and baby taht ain't no lie
boom boom boom boom
i want go AOII
don't you? don't you? don't you?
SURE DO!

We have a few others too, but those are my favorites I know someone asked for preference day songs. My favorite pref song is El Shaddai it's so pretty. We sing about 4 songs on pref day though

[sarahanne]

one of my favorite chants is

roses, rubies, pandas too
don't you wish this could be you
AOII red and white
AoII you know that's right
ooooo A O II woo!

it's great after IM sports and things like that.

[ForeverRoses]

This one I still find myself singing to my kids-

A-L-P-H-A gimmie O-M-I-C-R-O-N
P-I A-O-Pi
Alpha, Alpha, Omicron Pi
We are AOII
We are the best and that's no lie
Sisterhoods and goodtimes too
AOII's the one for you
(Repeat)

This was our door chant during rush that we used when the rushees were walking in. It was also the chant used during Rho Chi revealing (They would do a sorority chant and those Rho Chis would step forward and take off their Rho Chi sweatshirt to reveal their letters).

The chant that I disliked was to the tune of "hi-ho" from Snow White. It's okay on it's own, but during rush it was a little to sing-songy compared to what the other houses were doing (and less memorable).

A-O, A-O
The only way to go
And when you see that spirit in me
You'll know
that I'm an Alpha O.

A-L-P-H-A-O-M-I-C-R-O-N Pi!
You can only say it if you really really try
Ask who's the best sorority and then we will reply
A-L-P-H-A-O-M-I-C-R-O-N Pi!

I've not posted since around July of 2005 and this might be late, but my chapter uses this song, though we use the long version.

Still to the tune of Supercalifragilisticexpialadocious:

A-L-P-H-A-O-M-I-C-R-O-N Pi!
We know that you can spell it if you really, really try
When asked the best sorority we always do reply:
A-L-P-H-A-O-M-I-C-R-O-N Pi!

When I was just a freshmen here at U of T
I liked so many of the Greeks I didn't know what to be,
but these three letters gave me chills from my head down to my toes
(Screaming) THE GREATEST GREEKS YOU'LL EVER MEET AND THIS IS HOW IT GOES!

A-L-P-H-A-O-M-I-C-R-O-N Pi!
We know that you can spell it if you really, really try
When asked the best sorority we always do reply:
A-L-P-H-A-O-M-I-C-R-O-N Pi!

I'll miss doing that song on bid day....

[barnard1897]

A CC taught us this one years ago:

Down in (insert name of town or campus) on sorority row
There's the sweetest little house called Alpha O
We're the ones that are really tops
That's where all the freshman love to stop

Alpha O (Alpha O, Alpha Omicron Pi)
Alpha O (Alpha O, Alpha Omicron Pi)
Alpha O (Alpha O, Alpha Omicron Pi)
We'll be loyal to you till the day we die.

And there's a very old but catchy chant taught to us by another CC, from either Nu Beta or Lambda Sigma, that has very southern roots--I figure the gals from our southern campuses still might know it. I cannot remember hardly any of it, just bits and pieces. It's a chant that is made up of largely nonsensical words like mega mega whole potato, half past an alligator (seriously, I could not make this up if I tried). The very last part goes:

--- --- chippewa saw
AOII, AOII, Rah Rah Rah! Anyone recall it?

[OleMissGlitter]

Whole Potato....sorry it didn't post the rest! But I learned that song at a Convention or something....I think one of the chapters in KY taught it to me.

KT does it too. At the close of State Day one year, we did it with everybody. It was at a country club and the room next to us was being used for an evening wedding reception. The guests were arriving as we were leaving. One of the guests stopped and asked us if we were attending a cheerleader convention!

ETA: I thought that the words were on Sisters Online but I don't see them anymore.

[rosypanda28]

We use that chant, too. But it was something we did at the end of chapter and all the older girls would yell it and you just had to catch on cause they didn't teach it and at the end of it we all shout roses to each other!!!

[Onedogtoomany]

I've tried to write these words using some phonics sounds. If you said ever word properly...it just wouldn't "holler" the same!



Naga Naga
Whole potat-ah
Half past an alligat-ah
Rim Ram
Bo ga Dam
Chippe wa Sah
AOPi AOPi
Rah Rah Rah

Rip Rap Rye
A O Pi
Chit Chat
Kitty Kat

Razzle Dazzle
Hobble Gobble
Sis Boom Bah
AOPi AOPi
Rah Rah Rah

AO Pi
Alpha O

[barnard1897]

That's the one! I used to love that; it was so original there was no way any other house would have any idea how to rip it off from us!!

I learned this one from a sister from Duke, which was really great for regrouping after final party of a long recruitment day:

Leader:
All right, all right, all right (group: all RIGHT!)
L:
Ok, Ok, Ok (group: OK!)
L:
All right (group: All right!)
L: OK! (group: OK)
All: ALPHA OMICRON PI, HEY!

[ToledoAOII]

A-L-P-H-A! AOII's the only way!
S-U-P-E-R! Super-Duper that's what we are!
A! (A!)
O (O!)
II! Get it! Get it! Get it!
*Clap : XX XX XX (same Rhythm as "Get it")*
A! (A!)
O! (O!)
II!

and our Village Chat (one of the Fraternities use the same one, but substitute letters- it may be time for us to find a catchier one)

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA! (SCREAMED AS LOUDLY AS POSSIBLE UNTIL THE LAST GIRL IS OUT OF THE HOUSE AND IN THE MIDDLE OF THE VILLAGE WITH THE REST OF THE CHAPTER)
A!
A-L-P-H-A!
P-I!
A-O-PI!
4-3-2-1
GIVE A CHEER FOR OMICRON!
A-O-PI
YOU KNOW!

[AOII Angel]

I just remembered this chant when we were lining up at convention on Red and White day to take the all convention photo.

Girl in Red, girl in white
AOII is dynamite!
The AOIIs welcome you.

Friends so true
Take our cue
Fun and friendship we pursue
The AOIIs welcome you.

And if you wander by and AOII
You will agree
We're the best
of all the rest
We're the top sorority

So come along
Sing our song
Join our happy, carefree throng
The AOIIs welcome you
We really mean it!
The AOIIs welcome you!

It's been in my head ever since...ahhhhhh

[wmu_aoii]

I can't help but help but shout it
I'm an A-O-A-O Cutie Pi

A-L-P-H-A-O-M-I-C-R-O-N-Pi

Pref Night:

(tune to lean on me)

Alpha Omicron Pi, we call it home, we call it sisterhood.
Friends, until we die, we will remain, always together.
Lean on me, when you're not strong,
I'll be your friend, I'll help you carry on.
For, it won't be long, 'til I'm going to need
Somebody (a sister) to lean on.

There, there is a place, at U of C, that's always open
So, if you want fun, you know that there, you're always welcome
Lean on me, when you're not strong,
I'll be your friend, I'll help you carry on.
For, it won't be long, 'til I'm going to need
Somebody (a sister) to lean on.

You just call on me, sister, when you need a friend
AOIIs have each other to lean on.
I just might have a problem that you'd understand
AOIIs have each other to lean on.

Lean on me, when you're not strong,
I'll be your friend, I'll help you carry on.
For, it won't be long, 'til I'm going to need
Somebody (a sister) to lean on.


Bring me a rose in the wintertime,
When they're hard to find.
Bring me a rose in the wintertime,
I've got roses on my mind,
For a rose is sweet
Most any time and yet,
Bring me a rose in the wintertime
I've got roses on my mind.

Bring me a friend when
There's none around,
When they're hard to find,
Bring me a friend
When there's none around
I've got friendship on my mind.
For a friend is sweet
Most any time and yet,
Bring me a friend when
There's none around,
I've got friendship on my mind.

Bring me a love here in AOII
When it's hard to find
Bring me a love here in AOII
I've got lovin' on my mind
For a love is sweet
Most any time and yet,
Bring me a love here in AOII
I've got lovin' on my mind.


Xi Omicron Original Song
Here's a little info about us and the song, sorority row is Maple Street, our mascot is the Razorbacks,

(to the tune of "Walking in Memphis")

Packed up your high heel shoes
And loaded the car
Drove down to the land of the Razorbacks
Ready for whats in store
You've got your dorm room ready
You're classes all picked out
You need a home away from home
It's AOII without a doubt

Walking on Maple
Walking with the girls from AOII
Walking on Maple
But do you really feel the way I feel

(skip verse and chorus)

we wear rubies and pearls
roses every where
and when ever you need us
well always the there
(well always be there)

(skip first part of next verse)

I did a little number
And I sang with all my might
I said--
"Tell me are you an AOII"
and she said "Ma'am I am tonight!"

Walking on Maple (walking on Maple)
Walking with the girls from AOII
Walking on Maple (walking on Maple)
But do you really feel the way I feel

Packed up your high heel shoes
And loaded the car
Drove down to the land of the Razorbacks
Ready for whats in store
Drove down to the land of the Razorbacks
Ready for whats in store
