LCA Chants

What are some typical LCA chants that you use around all of your chapters, or any songs that you all have as party songs?

Hey Vic,

Lets give a hip-hip hooray for dear old Lambda Chi,
Lets give a hip-hip hooray and shout it to the sky,

We'll make the rafters ring
When all the Brothers sing
About the Cross and Crescent
It's the grandest thing

We'll shout it loud and strong
We'll shout it all day long

Because we WANT- THE- WORLD- TO KNOW!! (pause)

We stand together now
We stand to win (and how!)
For dear old LAM-BDA- CHI!

Maybe some of the other brothers can correct me if I am wrong, but I think this song started at Wake WAYYYYYYY back in the day. I know that even now we yell it as loud as we can whenever we hand out bids on bid day. I hope this helps, and I am sure that I will get a chance to demonstrate it's cadence whenever we see each other next. Get your @SS up to Wake sometime and we will have a cookout and PARTY!!!

haha,

Well I've been known to be some what of a chant "motivator" over the years. But the chant I'm best known for is a wee bit crude.

ps. first post on GC

Well, with My Back Ground, I am still missing so much.

I dig like heck for questions asked.

But We as LXA Known as the Singing Fraternity seems to have been lost.

My Zeta never did this that I can Remember.

That is a shame, Ladies always Must Love it!

Well, maybe in My Mind, it is very neat!

OOPs. Dinner Burning!

In my undergrad days, long ago I heard:

A little tune sung immediately after Were all Good Brothers that started off as..."Rat Shit, Bat Shit..."

And a song that's lyrics rhymed with "Ya Know." To the tune of "the troops go marching in one by one"

And thats all I have to say about that.

The Toronto brothers were the first I found to post an mp3 from a CD that was handed out at a past General Assembly. There is a newer version that I think sounds more awesome but I keep losing the link.

Here is the link to the song book and CD:

The chant that we yelled was this:

We're the men of Lambda Chi
Cross and Crescent spirit high
Purple Green and Gold are We
The number one fraternity
I say Lambda, You say Chi
Lambda - Chi
Lambda - Chi
I say number, You say One
Number - One
Number - One
Gooooooooooo Lambda Chi!

Yours in ZAX,

Chip

Could someone PM me the Kazoo Kazam or Rat Shit, Bat Shit chants? I want to see if they're at all similar to the one we have at our chapter.

I happened to find full verses/songs on another Lambda Chi forum about chants and songs. I dont always promote other forums b/c G.C. is my favorite but I do encourage the networking of Brothers always!

RIGGY RIGGY RYE
WHO THE HELL AM I?
I'M THE BEST OF ALL THE REST
CAUSE I'M A LAMBDA CHI
WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

Heh heh...

We chant this at IM football and basketball games at FSU

Lambda C-H-I
you wish you were Lambda Chi
you aint no you aint
keep dreaming.

Very repetitive and easy to remember so its easy for sporting events.

Yea, as JT has said, we have a similar chant to the Rat shit, bat shit that follows our "Link", which includes the "We're all good brothers" chant.
It's interesting to see how different chants travel and evolve at different chapters...
My father, who also is a Lambda Chi from the Lambda Mu chapter (University of South Florida) apparently had a famous song called "Mimi, the Lambda Chi widow"... that's an odd one for sure...

Welcome aboard Our Bother

Keep posting and through in any time!!!!!

Hm, Do You Know a BIG Brother Named MATT?

wil919 · #15 02-07-2006, 10:51 PM

Haha, no... Matt Troy is a legend in the house, but not my big brother. My lineage does not extend to Matt's, but we're all brothers anyway, right?
