I did a mudcat forum search and could find no discussion of traditional sorority songs. These songs are learned & sung secretly by sororities and are often not written down anywhere.

Do you know any sorority songs that are passed on by word of mouth? If yes, I would be interested recording you for a folklore purposes.

Any help will be appreciated.

Sincerely,

Here is an example of a sorority song:

Take Your Man Around the Corner
(Tune: "Wake the Town and Tell the People")

Take your man around the corner
Where the lights are low.
Put your arm around his shoulder,
And then other down below.

When he starts to shake and quiver
And exclaim his glee,
Tell him it's the secret handshake
Of good ol' AGD.   [Alpha Gamma Delta]

If you sing this song, or know other sorority songs and wish to sing them, please email me at mudcat5.20.jpm21@neverbox.com. I can make the recordings anonymous if you like and not divulge your name or sorority.
