Hello everyone,If you are easily offended, please STOP READING. This thread is for mature audiences only. Please don't post "dreadful song" or "worst song written" as you are not helping.
Below is a traditional bawdy song titled: Sigma-bet (recording)
1. Do you sing this song?
2. If yes, when and where did you learn it?
3. Would you be willing to sing it for folklore purposes over the phone?
Any help is appreciated.
Sincerely,
John Mehlberg

Notes: This is from the singing of J.R. on the 18th of August 2005. A bowdlerized version of this chant is found on the Black Greek Soundz Phi Beta Sigma CD. Each of the black greek sororities & fraternities seem to have their own version of Greek alphabet which is either recited or sung. The tune is different for each organization.
Most songs in black greek fraternities & sororities are called "chants" even if they are sung.
Field Recordings:
- Field Recording - John Mehlberg Collection - See Notes.
- Digital Recording - J. R. - 2005.08.18
Commercial recordings:
- Black Greek Soundz
I have been told by several people that the above CDs produced by Black Greek Soundz contain *authentic* chants & songs by the various fraternities & sororities but I have only field collected from one person. If you know any of these songs or chants, could you please send me an email at john@mehlberg.com. Thanks!
