Songs/Chants

Hmmm...thought I would get this board going again!

Anyway, do you any of you have Pi Phi songs to share? This whole summer I've been looking for new, fun chants that we can do. My chapter has a retreat the first weekend we're back, and it'll be something great to share!

Well ladies, I hope you all had a great summer. Good luck to all who has rush in the beginning of school!

If the angels up above
Could hear us sing our song to you
They'd see that in our hearts
We're Pi Phi's from the start

Hey, girl
Well...I am also looking forward to rush because it will be the first time for me on the "other side."

We adjust pop songs to fit Pi Phi rush.
For example, we used Christina Aguilaras "Come on Over." We used...
"Hey, girl, don't you know, Pi Phi's got it goin' ooooon..yes we do. We got an invitation, don't you keep us waiting all night long. I know, you know, Pi Phi's the way to go!".........(chorus)"All we want is you, come over here rushee, all we want is you, you know you make us go crazy" etc.

You get the idea...I know, it's cheesey, but the I for sure remembered it!

Check the Bucknell Pi Phi website. It's suberb for chants and songs.

We sang the following song at Founder's Day..it was so cute. But it may be more appropriate for bid night or sometime after.

Remember the Pi Phi Arrow
The wine and silver blue
The loyalty and the friendship
You know they will bring to you
Forget all the Kappa's pleadings,
The gleam of Theta's kite
Come, put on the Pi Phi Arrow
And you'll know you've chosen right!

Remember the Pi Phi arrow
The wine and silver blue
The loyalty and friendship
Know they've brought to you
Be mindful as yuo travel
Your goals set ever high
The gifts our founders gave you
Was love in Pi Beta Phi

Good luck!
Pi Phi love and mine,
pbpck

We sing

Remember the Pi Phi Arrow
The Wine and the Silver Blue
The loyalty and the friendship
You know they will bring to you.
Forget all your tears and sadness
We’ll make your day grow bright
Come put on the Pi Phi Arrow,
And you’ll know you’ve chosen right.

At prefs, we sang this to the tune of "Ash Grove":

The wine and the blue are meant just for you As symbols of ideals of Pi Beta Phi,
The friendships so true, the girls of our longing
Are all part of being a Pi Beta Phi.
Looking back o'er our college days,
The friendships we made,
The fondness that stayed in Pi Beta Phi....

These memories we will cherish
And wish to share with you
In hopes you will join us in Pi Beta Phi.

there's one chant we do during rush at unc that EVERY rushee remembers, whether she pledges pi phi or not...it's hard to get the gist of it by reading it in a forum, but it's still a badass song- especially if every other sorority on campus knows it too!

boom BOOM i wanna go pi beta phi
boom BOOM and honey that aint no lie
boom BOOM i wanna go pi beta phi, dont you woohoo?
i want to be a pi phi cause it's the place to be HELL YEAH
we're the girls that got it and it's pi phi for meeeee
i wanna go pi beta phi boom boom and honey that aint no lie
boom BOOM i wanna go pi beta phi dont you you you you!!

we have a LOT of songs for rush that use pi phi well in them...
stayin alive is a really good one... if anyone wants the words, i'm more than happy to send em your way.

One of my all time favorites -- This used to be sung during rush, its great for bid day because of the shouting parts.

Chorus:
Pi, Pi Beta Phi
P - I - P - H - I Pi Phi
Me for, Pi for, Beta Phi for
I just love Pi Beta Phi

Now we sing to our Pi Phi
Vison of our binding ties
HONOR! FRIENDSHIP! LOYALTY!
Hail the best fraternity.

She's an angel in disguise
Sisterhood personified
Wears and arrow sleek and smart
Pointing high above her heart.

College days may come and go
Pi Phis linger in the glow
NORTH! SOUTH! EAST! WEST!
Pi Phis are the very best

We sang that on mine too, pbpck!!!!!!

My favorite:
Once there was a Pi Phi cutie
Had personality, charm, and beauty
Admirers came from miles away
and the lines grew longer day by day

(Chorus)
Pi Phi Girls Pi Phi Girls what I'm proud to be
Pi Phi Girls Pi Phi Girls what I'm proud to be
Wine and blue are the colors that are RIGHT FOR ME!
Pi Phi Girls Pi Phi Girls what I'm proud to be

She had a cadillac ford convert
Favorite pasttime was to flirt
Got around town knew who was who
but then those Pi Phis usually do

(Chorus)

Had a collection in a drawer
Rings and frat pins by the score
To those boys she was not true
But she sure was to the wine and blue

(Chorus)

We learned that one at one of our pledge meetings! I love the songs we did on Bid Day. There;s one we do to the joy of cola song that's really cute but I can't remember the words!

Ah...the Pepsi Pi Phi Song...sigh...I sang that song waayyy too many times during rush.

Anyway, I'll probably butcher the lyrics, but this is how it goes. (Including some dance directions.)

(start swaying to the left and right and snapping)
I know, when all is said and done
There's only one
Time keeps moving on
But the good things never change

Joy of loving, joy of life (there are some arm motions here)
Joy laughter, joy of sight
Joy of Pi Phi in your la la life...

Joy of friendship, joy of fun (point out)
Joy of sisters when you're done(point to sister next to you)
Greatest Butler chapter under the sun..(raise the roof motion)

Ba ba ba ba ba...ba ba ba ba ba...(weird finger pointing motion)
PI BETA PHI

Hehe..Jess, I'm glad you like the Pi Phi Cutie song! It's a fun one to sing!

*BTW, for those of you who don't know Jess and I are both proud Indiana Gamma's!

Our Chapter here at Virginia Delta sings "I Will Survive" but we alter the words some. It is a real ear catcher when we are all out together, and is a great way to end rush events, it lets all the pledges end on a happy note, singing Pi Beta Phiiiii!!!!

When it comes to the refrain:

Now go, Walk out the door,
Dont turn around now (turn around in a circle)
You're not welcome anymore
Werent you the one who tried to hurt me with Good-Bye?
Did you think I'd crumble? (HELL NO)
Did you think I'd lay down and die?
Oh no not I ,
Pi Beta Phi

(anytime you would say I will Survive you scream, Pi Beta Phi)
The last refrain you hold Phiiiiii And then we burst into a chant:
Viriginia Delta Give it a yell, give it a yell, give it a great substantial yell, and when we yell we yell like hell and this is what we yell Pi Phi, Pi Phi Pi Beta Phi!!! WOOOOO!!!

It is sooo much fun, and everyone gets a kick out of it no matter where we go!!! Anyways, just thought ya'll like to konw what we VA Deltas Do!!

We do something kinda different to the traditional:

P-I, P-H-I
P-I, P-H-I (FASTER) Pi Phi
Me for Pi for Beta Phi
For I just love Pi Beta Phi.

I also have some cute songs to "Baby Got Back" and "Hold Up" just write back if your interested.

Chapter is in a rut. At every sports game or what not, we always do the aforementioned bid day song ( Pi Pi Beta Phi, P-I P-H-I Pi Phi....). Does any one have any other chants or songs that would fit on the sidelines of Panhellenic soccer and such. Thanks so much!

UA Angel · #14 05-09-2002, 11:35 AM

Hello Ladies,

I was wondering if anyone had any good "good-bye" songs. And curious also to know if everyone sings while the rushee's are entering the house and/or when the rushee's leave.

An all time favourite for my Chapter is "one two three words" That's the one that most of them know.

One two three words carved on a golden dart
one two three words worn over my heart
one two three words love them until I die
one two three words Pi Beta Phi

A really lovely song espcially for Pref Night.

But if anyone has any suggestions for up beat more non conventional Pi Phi songs, it would be greatly appreciated. Some of my gals are finding that the songs that we know are all too much for pref night and not many hip hoppie cheering ones.

Beccaks23 · #15 05-09-2002, 05:50 PM

We sing:

clapping, and kinda fast
start off slow, but by the time you get to "come" start really fast

Why don't you come on in
and let the fun begin
and let us show you why we love Pi Beta Phi
we wear the Wine and Blue
the Golden Arrow too
we want to share our love and loyalty with you.

we just repeat that over and over again when the rushees come in and we sing the same thing when they leaving...I really like it.
