RUSH SONGS

[lyrelyre]

Without a doubt, the most annoying rush song is Phi Mu's.

The Phi Mus at Oklahoma State have a song that everyone remembers and no one knows why. It's cute but not particularly easy to remember.

Are you a Phi Mu? Yes I'm a Phi Mu
For those three bright stars are beckoning me.
I'm glad to meet you, I'm glad to greet you
and pledge a fraternity
Whether your from Mississippi, Oklahoma, Caroline
North or South or West of the Mason-Dixon Line
Then you're a Phi Mu Hooray for Phi Mu
for I'm a Phi Mu too

I regretted them after the second day but I already could have sang their entrance song with them.

My only question is: how do you know what the songs sound like without the music (unless we include the rhythm and solfege in the post?)

Kappa has an official songbook, and I think it's going to be posted on the web soon...hmm, I should look into that.

For anyone interested in learning NON-rush dirty/drinking songs: There's a book out called The Erotic Muse which lists tons of dirty frat, sorority, and college songs. In some, different names of sororities or frats can be substituted. Some college libraries may have it, it's also owned by the Carnegie Library of Pittsburgh Music and Art Dept. It's very funny...I came from a Kappa chapter that loved to sing, we stole a few from the book

Two popular Kappa Rush songs:

to the tune of "The Ash Grove"

On the heart of each sister lies one key that binds us
A badge that reminds us of fraternity days
Down deep there's a friendship that needs no concealing
Our hearts it's revealing in so many ways
It is here that we treasure each day with new pleasure
Our friendships outlasting our collegehood days
And in the years after, with tears or with laughter
We'll always remember our dear Kappa days

to the tune of "Chitty Chitty Bang Bang"

We are Kappa Kappa Gamma
Kappa Kappa Gamma girls are we
We know, everywhere we go
We'll always wear the letters KKG
High, low, everywhere we go on Kappa Gamma we'll depend
We are Kappa Kappa Gamma, we're sisters to the end
We are Kappa Kappa Gamma, we're sisters to the
Kappa Kappa Gamma
Kappa Kappa Gamma
Kappa Kappa Gamma to the end

Yes. I was a music major in college (percussion, but I also sing and play the piano a little), and initiated my freshman year.

About the middle of my junior year, though, I realized I didn't want a career in music, so I finished my degree and applied to library school and the rest is history.
