ADPi songs

[DeltaBetaADPi]

We're doing one for recruitment that goes:

With an A, with an A, with an A-L-P,
with a P, with a P, with a P-H-A,
With an A-L-P and a P-H-A,
Alpha Delta Pi.

Sing it, sing it, sing it, sing it, sing it to the sky.
Shout it, shout it, shout it, shout it, shout it til you die.

& though the years, the best will always be...
[proceed to repeat the entire song]

Ever heard of Alpha, Alpha, Alpha Alpha Delta Pi,
Like it, love it...will til the day I die
for it's a grand sorority, maybe on earth, but it's heaven to me
Oh Alpha Alpha Alpha Alpha Delta Pi, Scooby doop doop do boop pi doop!!

We sang something very similar to it...

Alpha Alpha Alpha Alpha
Alpha Alpha Delta Pi
Like it, Like it
Love it, Love it
Yes oh me oh my
I'm the member of the best sorority
It may be on earth but it's heaven to me
Singing
Alpha Alpha Alpha Alpha
Alpha Alpha Delta Pi

We sang it, but a little differently:
Alpha, Alpha, Alpha Alpha Delta Pi
Like it, love it, listen and I'll tell you why
I'm a member of a great sorority, it may be on earth but it's heaven to me,
It's Alpha, Alpha, Alpha Alpha Delta Pi!

Think the song you were thinking of was "It only takes a spark" goes like this

"It only takes a spark to get a friendship going,
soon all those around will warm up to its glowing,
......"

Hi! I am the music chair for my chapter and we are revamping our pref ceremony- I could really use some suggestions for songs to use at the beginning and end of pref. In the past we have sung "It only takes a spark," but I think we are all ready for something different. Our recruitment chair has recommended "Linger" for the end, and has been told that some chapters use "Follow Me" for the beginning. I have never heard either! Anyway- I would LOVE any suggestions and/or thoughts!
Pi Love!

I'm not sure about Follow Me (could be one we did as a instrumental only), but we did use Linger in our preference ceremony (at least one year, I know). If you've never heard it, it's a little difficult to describe the melody, but I've always liked it

If you need some help with words (and perhaps melody, if you don't have the wonderful ADPi music CD), let me know!

These are the words to Follow Me:

Chorus: Follow me where I go what I do and who I know make it part of me to be a part of you follow me up and down all the way and all around take my hand and say you'll follow me.

1st Verse: Its long been on my mind you know it's been a long long time I'll try to find a way that I can make you understand the way I feel about you and just how much I need you to be there where I can take to you when there's no one else around.

2nd Verse: You see I'd like to share my life with you and show you things I've seen places where I'm going to places where I've been to have you there beside me and never feel alone and all the time that you're with me then we will be at home.

My chapter changed part of Pi Pi to:

Violets, Diamonds, Lion Pride
Always Wanted ADPi
When I came to old BU
I knew I'd wear that white and blue

During the BU part we'd do a Sic'Em for our Baylor Bears, it was really cute!

We also did songs to Wishin', & Hopin', & Thinkin', & Prayin', Dirty Pop (*NSYNC), Boom Boom Pow (Black Eyed Peas), and This Is Why I'm Hot along with songs from the song book.

Next year we're doing Material Girl and changing the lyrics to Sorority Girl and I think we rewrite the lyrics to We Are Who We Are by Ke$ha

Does anyone else rewrite lyrics to popular songs for recruitment? We're still looking for ideas.

[honeychile]

Yes, but mine would be oldies but goodies! I'd love to hear the Boom Boom Pow one, though!

Every year at New Member Retreat our New Members divide into equal groups and are challenged to come up with a new chant or song It's super fun for the new girls and the actives get to hear all the collarborations. We also vote on the "number one hit" and use it the next year at Homecoming and Greek Week events! One of my favorites this past year was to the tune of Vanilla Ice's "Ice Ice Baby:"

"Stop! Collaborate and Listen!
ADPi is here with traditions.
Sisters, we look good in Diamonds.
Blue and white, we're fierce like lions.
All the others, they stay way behind us,
'Cause everybody knows we're the first and the finest"

Honestly I dont even know the original words to ice ice baby anymore because we have sang this so much this year

Cute. Will have to pass that on to my RVP, we might be "stealing" it .

The girls at ASU do some song/chant called Lions Roar, which is really cute but I wouldn't know how it goes if my life depended on it. LOL.

Another verse to Linger...

Hmm, Hmm, We'll all remember
Hmm, Hmm, throughout September,
Hmm Hmm Our Adipi and friendships true

Not sure why the reference to September, but it seem to work for us since our recruitments tended to be in September.

We changed the lyrics to We R Who We R for recruitment this year. We also used Born This Way. I dont mind sharing. :]

There's a video of it on YouTube ADPi Baylor University Fall Party Songs

Follow Me tune was a John Denver song many years ago but it's a gorgeous pref song...
