Fraternity & sorority chants and songs are part of folk's oral tradition. Yet I've not been able to find any examples of or discussion about fraternity & sorority chants on Mudcat. [I put in the words "fraternity chants" and fraternity song and fraternity drinking songs in Mudcat's lyrics & knowledge search box. Each time I came up with nothing. If there are any threads or posts on this subject I'd appreciate someone posting the links. Thanks]

To fill in this {possible} gap, I'll post some examples of Black Greek letter organization {BGLO} chants that I have heard, as well as examples that were submitted to my website Cocojams , or some examples that I found elsewhere on the Internet. I'll also include some comments in this thread bout the Black Greek letter fraternities' and sororities' traditions of chanting and steppin {the group movement/performance art which is used for chanting}.

However, I would prefer that this thread also include examples of {relatively non-profane} fraternity songs and chants from non-African American traditions.

I hope that others join in posting to this thread as a means of adding to the folkloric record.


Thanks!
