Because of sidewalk songs (in the olden days), which sometimes lasted 10 minutes, all the 'rushee's' (900 to 1100) would sing this one song the entire 'rush' week back in the dorms. Would drive all the other chapters crazy! Somehow it was the only one the rushee's would remember.

This is the chant I thought of as soon as I read the question.

I remember this one! The Chi O's at my school did it, too. My best friend is a Chi O, so I remember her humming it under her breath during recruitment.

My favorite:

Alpha Ep's f-i-n-e fine
Right down the l-i-n-e line and
We will l-o-v-e love her
All the t-i-m-e time
We are b-e-s-t best
Of all the r-e-s-t rest and
We will cheer cheer cheer with all our z-e-s-t zest
Let's wear the royal blue
And let's show that white
And let's have fun tonight!
Yes, AΩE's f-i-n-e fine
Right down the l-i-n-e line and
We will l-o-v-e love her
All the t-i-m-e time
We are b-e-s-t best
Of all the r-e-s-t rest and
We will cheer cheer cheer with all our z-e-s-t zest

Every time I hear "Rockin' Robin" I still sing "She rocks on the hilltop, all the day long, rockin' and a boppin' and a singing her song, all the other Greeks on LBJ street, love to hear that Gamma going "tweet tweet tweet". Rockin' Gamma, Rockin' Phi, so go rockin' Gamma cause you're really going to rock tonight!"

AND to the tune of "Don't Let Go (of what we've got)".

Don't let go,
of what we've got,
don't let go sis we've got a lot
got a lot of love between us, hang on, hang on, hang on,
to what we've got.

That little badge of pearls upon our hearts
ain't a fortune baby but you know that it stands
for our love
The love you can't deny it
The love you just can't hide it
Sisters! Sisters! Sisters!

[ellebud]

These are just pieces of what I remember but:

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
I wanna go Pi Beta Phi
Boom! Boom!
That ain't no lie!
Don't wanna wear the arrow...don't wanna wear a key
Just wanna wear the anchor...

then something

And:
I'm a Kappa Kappa...
Betcha your life I am a ...
girl who wears the golden key!

Tell all those DGs Pi Phi, Thetas too, that they WON'T be seeing you
'Cause your going Kappa Kappa Gamma!

Sorry for the gaps, but I haven't heard those songs since the very early 70s.

The one I remember is something like "G Phi G Phi B ...Gamma Phi Beta!" something that sounds like "de-de"...it's very fast....and it gets completely stuck in my head.

One possibility -
(A round - half sing "Gamma Phi Beta - Gamma Phi Beta - Gamma Phi Beta - Gamma Phi Beta)

Half sings -

We are the girls who really are amazing!
With our crescents and pearls, we are true-hearted girls,
and after you're gone, you'll remember our song
we are the Gamma Phi Beta, Gamma Phi Beta, Gamma Phi Beta girls!

G Phi, G Phi B, Gamma, Gamma Phi Beta,
G Phi, G Phi B, Gamma Phi Beta girls!

As for de - de, hmmm . . .

There's "Hey Daddy", which has a "dum, de dum, de dum" part . . .can't remember all the words.

Add me to the "Red Hot Chi O" list. It is the only chant I have any memory of. I can sing it like it was yesterday, and it was first round at a large school.

[WVU alpha phi]

I rushed 5 years ago and still remember parts of a few songs.

Chi O did something with Coca Cola's theme:
"Chi Omega classic is always the one.."

Kappa:
"Three cheers for Kappa Kappa Gaaa-ma
Three cheers for girls who wear the blue and blue.."

AOPi:
"A O A O A O Cutie Pi"

Alpha Xi:
Some really peppy chant that ended with "Alpha Xi, Alpha Xi, Delllll-Ta!"

Delta Gamma:
"D-E-L-T-A G-A-M-M-A Delta Gamma, that's what I am-a"

[PKTKKG]

I guess since I also preffed Alpha Chi I remember some of their songs...

I wannna be an Alpha Chi
Yes, my oh my, something something

And then there was one where they clapped...

A-L-P-H-A C-H-I Omega, A-L-P-H-A C-H-I Omega
We are the Alpha Chis and we are really great, clap, clap, clap, clap

I also remember DZ singing something about its hot, its hot, its hot out here.

KD sang something about I'm KD born and KD bred and when I die I'll be KD dead.


And of course I know about a million Kappa songs

I love that one! It's:

Three cheers for Kappa Kappa Gaaamma!
Three cheers for those who wear the blue and blue!
And you can quote me when I say I am-aaaa
Kappa girl from KKG!
I'm true to the wise old owl who wears the golden key,
Blue ribbon gardens grow the fleur de lis,
Oh, the owl! The key! The fleur de lis!
The blue and blue! Yes, that's for me!
Rah rah for KKG!

Now I'm all psyched up for Recruitment... less than a month to go!

Three possibilities...

G Phi, G Phi B, Gaaaamma, Gamma Phi Beta
G Phi, G Phi B, Gamma Phi Beta Girls
Boom boom boom
(repeat)
--------------
G-A-M M-A
Gamma Phi Beta HEY
Gamma Phi, Gamma Phi, Gamma Phi Beta
--------------
I am a G
I am a G-A
I am a G-A-M-M-A Phi Beta girl
and I have G-A-M-M-A Phi
in my H-E-A-R-T
and I will L-O-V-E love it
til the D-A-Y I die

[PeppyGPhiB]

I'll always remember

"I wanna be a DG, oh yes, oh yes, oh yes I do
I wanna be a DG, and wear the bronze and pink and blue
Drop your anchor, come and be, part of our fraternity
We love DG, so will you, if you drop your anchor too"

[tri deezy]

"I'm so happy that I aaammmmmmmaa Kappa Kappa Gammmmmmma..."

Also, the SDT one, "something something some-thing, girls with personality. That's my sorority!"

Then mine,

"Badoom Badoom, Tri Delta, Badoom Badoom, Tri Delta, Badoom Badoom Tri Delta, Boom Boom Boom Boom Delta D D.

"When you're at home and safe in bed, let the Tri Delt spirit run through your head, when you awake you'll know it's true, Tri Delt wants a little sister like you! Go D-E-L-T-A, go D-E-L-T-A, go D-E-L-T-A, go Tri Delta, whaddya say?"

Our version ended "Gotta D-E-L-T-A, Gotta D-E-L-T-A, gotta D-E-L-T-A, pledge Tri Delta, go the right way"

It's definitely that one. It replayed in my brain for like a month afterward.
