I was in the car with one of my brothers when this song came on and he mentioned how his dad was a LXA and that this song was written by a brother so when I got home I decided to reseach it. I guess it is not true.

Why would you say "your" ritual? I think you're an imposter.

Don't anyone answer this character!

In response to your PM:

"I'm slighty offended that you'd call me an imposter. I meant the specific ritual of your chapter (I'm sure that each chapter's ritual varies slightly).

(Edited by The Moderator)

...all I can say is, you've GOT to be kidding.

Would you like me to send you an ELC? I think you and your chapter could use one. How come you don't sign your name?

"I swear I'm a brother, Per Crucem Crescans!"
Vir Quisque Vir, Xalepa Ta Kala!

I've yet to meet any brother, much less an entire chapter, that doesn't understand MCR.

Delta Phi my brothers, Delta Phi.

Oh, and don't forget, Lambda Lambda Lambda!

Jono the watchdog! ha ha! Well I don't think any of you are brothers!
None of you mentioned ZAXO (or is that XAOZ, or XOAZ, or OZAX) as proof!

And who could possibly forget Lambda Lambda Lambda!

Yes, there are differences in ritual from chapter to chapter...like ours
uses the fifth degree of the Eulesian Mysteries, as described as optional
in the High Phi manual....so maybe they do that at Va. Tech!

Probably only those chapters who use the optional Rite of Rene Anjou
of the Order of the Crescent can understand MCR! But I thought
everybody did that one!

Seriously do you really think anyone was going to fall for this sad attempt?

Have requested that this poster PM me.

If not, I will delete his post and the post that copied it in their response.

There are certain things that can and cannot be posted.

Thank You all!

XOAZ

It's just a great song that LCA's all seem to identify with... much like Leafs fans do with '50 Mission Cap' from The Tragically Hip... or The Band Played Waltzing Matilda from the Pogues for Aussies and Commonwealth military types... it's one of those iconic songs. Of course there are exceptions - like in those misguided chapters that think country music is good or something

And just for you new folks - no, no member of the band was in the Toronto chapter... partied there once or twice, but not in the chapter

I am lamda chi at umkc, and as far as the song "magic carpet ride" goes, it is definately a nationwide thing. If you are lambda chi you should know why the song has such importance.

Tom Earp · #57 12-22-2006, 06:26 PM

Hey Bro. Welcome to GC and the LXA Thread!

I am in KC Ks and PMed you!

PM me and we can via Ma Bell=phone!

Have not been over there for awhile.

It's definitely a worldwide thing (can't say "nation" since we have chapters in Canada).

I remember how a lot of the guys were always screaming the song when it was played at parties... then I remember how many of the guys had the words wrong and didn't realize it (Alex... you moron... the song does NOT say "Three stars away from here!").

Shadowskream459 · #59 02-27-2009, 03:52 PM

haha Cube, we say that EXACT same thing. The sad thing is, we al know the actual line we've just done it for so long, "three stars" is tradition.

**The Phi in me smirks a bit.**

That tradition has not gotten here, but we're a bit new.
