More door songs about Dad's cash and getting the guys.
I'm really surprised to hear that. If it is possible to do so without revealing the houses, what kind of lyrics are we talking about here? Did they really say "ABCs take daddy's Amex to Nieman Marcus" or something equally explicit?

"Hey Daddy, I wanna be a ________"
I don't know if this is the chant/house the OP is referring to, but it still sticks in my head 10 years later.

Congrats to the OP and Alpha Gam!

I remember both that one (and the sorority who sang it) as well as a group that sang something like:

"I'm a ramblin' woman, a gamblin' woman. I'm out every night! I just dropped by to tell you that I'm really all right."

And I'll see your ten years and add another eight! Yikes!!

Thirty years later, I still remember one house- it may be the one dgdramadawg is referring to, singing, "I gave up my car, champagne,caviar just to be a _________."

There were 3 houses with less-classy lyrics.... "We give the boys whatever they please" and things of that nature, and then blatant references to Daddy's money-- I cannot remember how the lines went though. Some PNMs really loved the vibe of these songs, but it was such a turnoff for me... I think it cast those sororities in a negative light. But like I said, lots of PNMs walked away loving those songs and sororities, and now they are happy new members for those houses! To each their own.

*Life Updates*

I have been having such a wonderful time in Alpha Gam so far!
We went whitewater rafting for our sisterhood retreat-- how awesome is that?!! Everybody had so much fun and many of us new members really bonded with some of the older girls.
From what I can tell, the friends I made during recruitment are enjoying their houses, too. I think its kind of cool-- the girls I grew closet with all ended up in separate sororities and we all love where we are.
