Songs/Chants???

[Alpha Xi @ OSU]

So when I can't sleep I come up with Alpha Xi cheers
So this one is to the tune of "If You're Happy and You Know It"

If you're an Alpha and you know it clap your hands
CLAP-CLAP
If you're a Xi and you know it clap your hands
CLAP-CLAP
If you're an Alpha, you're Xi and you're very hap-hap-py
If you're an Alpha, you're a Xi, DELTA
CLAP-CLAP

It's kinda awkward the first few times you do it, but when you get going it works...hope someone likes it because well me and my Big Sis are the only ones who knew it up to this point.

:D

Hi there-

I would really appreciate those song you were talking about, It's Gonna Be Xi, Sorority Girl, ect. Here at the Gamma Epsilon Chapter we do something called Xi Rock for our Theme Day. Those songs would be perfect for what we are looking for. Thanks! TFJ!

That sounds really cute! I think I might try to teach that to my chapter! Keep 'em coming!

We had some fun chants, one was to beastie boys "gotta get it together" and one called we're all good sisters.
the all good sisters one goes like this: (it increases in tempo, and my friends in other sororities say its the cheer that never ends)

we're all good sisters
each ones the others friend
and we'll be good sisters
until all the world shall end
and while we're together
we'll give a rousing cheer
alpha xi delta, the sisters, the ones we love so dear
so lets give a hip hip horrah for dear old alpha xi
lets give a hip hip horrah and shout it to the sea
we'll make the rafters ring
about the way we sing
about the golden quill of alpha xi
hey
a-l-p-h-a, hey, a-l-p-h-a
xi, xi
d-e-l-t-a
hey
alpha, alpha, alpha xi

maggieaxid,

how funny, i have heard this chant before, but the version i have heard is a little different at the end i think. my question is, do you sing it or is it spoken? they way i have heard it is sung. i get so far with the singing on yours, but it all falls apart when i get to the part where you spell out a-l-p-h-a. oh well, anyway, just wondering because i really like it, but my chaper does not do it and i do not know how to end the version i know.
We do not have very many chants, as we realized this year at greek week the one we do the most often is really simple:

a-l-p-h-a, x-i-d-e-l-t-a
alpha xi, alpha xi
delta

yeah i know really not very original, but when you repeat it and get faster and louder each time it is very effective.

just for clarification, say the a-l slower than the p-h-a, take a pause, and then spell the rest about the same speed as the p-h-a

another is,
a,
l-p,
h-a-x-i-d,
e-l-t-a,
oh yes,
cause we are the best!

-repeated over and over again with increasing volumne.

[maggieaxid]

We say the chant. in the begining we start speaking it at a normal volume and speed and then it gets faster and louder towards the end.

[SoProud2BeAnAlphaXi]

Okay, here are a couple that I think haven't been mentioned (though it's hard to say when we can't always say "To the Tune of ..."). I think they're in some of the song books.

- Alpha Xi, Alpha Xi
Delta, Delta
Alpha Xi, Alpha Xi
Delta, Delta
Alpha Xi will always be
The very best sorority
Alpha, Alpha Xi DELTA!!

(If any of you know "Alpha Xis Never Drink", it's the same tune; I won't print the words to that here because it's CERTAINLY not a recruitment song)

- My very favorite door song/chant is an army Cadence, which is shouted out by one or two sisters, and repeated by the chapter as follows (all VERY loudly):
I don't know but I been told (the chapter repeats)
Alpha Xi Delt's got a lot of soul (repeat)
The Quill and the Rose and the Teddy Bear (repeat)
Are Alpha Xi things we like to share (repeat)
Who's the best sorority? (repeat)
Everyone knows it's Alpha Xi (repeat)
Sound off! (One, Two!)
A LITTLE BIT LOUDER! (Three, Four!)
Sound off! (One, Two, Three, Four, One, Two ... THREE FOUR!)
When I say "Alpha", you say "Xi"
Alpha (Xi)
Alpha (Xi)
When I say "Number", you say "One"
Number (One)
Number (One)
Alpha (Xi) Number (One)

- I also love A-Z-A-Z-A-Z-A-Z-A-Z-A-Z

I'll try to think of some others (singing to myself in my car on the way home!)

[kristiAZD]

SoProud2BeAnAlphaXi, I LOVE that military cadence. I will be teaching my chapter that for our Greek Olympics! I love it!

[LyonAZD]

We also do the cadence call but we have a different version

I don't know that you've been told

Go alpha xi delta blue and gold

we are the best fraternity

standing for sisters in unity

sound off Alpha Xi

Sound off Fraternity

Bring it on down Alpha xi Alpha xi FRATERNITY!!

We also have another one that is a fave, especially when leaving meetings---one person leads and the chapter responds

ALphas in the front, let me hear you grunt
ugh, ugh unnh unh!!!
Xis in the middle let me hear you giggle
hee, hee-hee-HEE!
Deltas in the rear let me hear you cheer!
Alpha Xi Delta, Alpha Xi Delta! WHOOO!


Also....does anyone know the Boogie Woogie chant....I used to, but i've forgotten it...

[Fuzzie906]

Boogie woogie chant... as i know it...

We are the alpha xi's (chapter repeats)
We like to Boogie (repeat)
Boogie Woogie (repeat)
Boogie Woogie all night long (repeat)

to the left
to the left
to the left right get on down

to the left
to the left
to the left right get on down

now stop put a smile on your face
alpha xi's are gonna rock this place

uhg check it out check it out
uhg check it out check it out

[maggieaxid]

I just remembered another chant in the car today:

with an A
with an A
with an A-L-P
with an A-L-P
and and P-H-A
with an A-L-P
and a P-H-A
Alpha Xi!
sing it, sing it, sing it to the sky
come on sisters, come on sisters shout it out high
oh I'm so proud to be an Alpha Xi
Hey!

[tiffbo607]

Our chapter sings the oscar myer song, which is one of my favorites. we also have a chant that goes
F (said slow)
F-U (said slow
F-U-Z-Z-I-E-S, fuzzies, fuzzies are the best (said really fast)

then of course there's
with an a with an a with an a-l-p with an a-l-p and a p-h-a
with an a-l-p and a p-h-a aaaaalllllppphhhaaa xi
sing it sing it sing it to the sky

Hi my name is Allisha. I am the songleader of the Theta Upsilon chapter at Youngstown State Univeristy. I was wondering if you can send me some of those songs that you wrote down? is it possible we could have the words to go with it? Please write back!!

XI love and mine,

Allisha

[volgirl2376]

i heard that alpha xi actually has a music cd of songs...does anyone know where it can be purchased? as a new member i would love to have it!

[PinkRose1098]

There is a CD and I know our Song Leader has a copy of it. The only thing is that it's majorly outdated. The songs sound really high and hard to sing.
