Subject: RE: Fraternity & Sorority Chants and Songs From: JohnInKansas Date: 14 Feb 12 - 03:00 AM Neither hazing nor drunkenness is exclusive to greeks. It's an almost universal problem on university campuses, or anywhere else where young people are unaccustomed to alcohol, and unaccustomed to being freed from parental and other supervisions common at lower level schools. That includes the military services, as another "example" of kinds of places where the problem occurs. Where the "newly free" are formed into "communities" somewhat independent of others, and especially where membership in the In some of the greek groups, the community support aspects are a stabilizing influence that helps the members learn the needed sense of responsibility. In others, it's just party time, and irresponsible activities persist quite stubbornly. There really are two sides to the coin, but as a confirmed GDI it might be better if I leave it to one (or more) of the frat rats with more intimate experience of it to offer any defenses of the greek systems.

Subject: RE: Fraternity & Sorority Chants and Songs From: GUEST,SB Date: 13 Feb 12 - 09:40 PM There doesn't seem to be any songs or chants honouring the many hundreds of kids (teenagers - black, white, straight, gay, male, female, whatever) who have died (been murdered) or maimed or raped in drunken hazing rituals over the last 60 years or so. Why not? Don't these youngsters deserve any recognition? Or is it an unsavoury aspect of frats or sororities that no-one wants to acknowledge? I understand that alcohol is a major problem in frat and sorority houses. I understand that many Greek orgs. have been booted off campus for underage drinking, rape of minors, and hazing. I understand that there are many deaths a year from abusive bullying of pledges, and extreme hazing rituals. And yes I know that hazing is illegal, but in which case why are there so many deaths from it - still? The hazing is encouraged in porn sites such as hazehim.com where amateur footage from hazing rituals is uploaded for cash. Perverts can then view this using pay-to-view. It seems that most ritual involve bum fucking or male rape. Also I read that Greek letter hazing is even more extreme in Japan (where school bullying is rife anyway), in Asia and Canada and Europe. But thank God not in the UK. Bearing in mind that many US politicians and leaders in industry and commerce were frat / sorority members its no wonder that the USA treats the rest of the world with arrogance as subordinate to it. |
Subject: RE: Fraternity & Sorority Chants and Songs From: JohnInKansas Date: 13 Feb 12 - 08:26 PM As a GDI, never much associated with frat rats, I don't have much attachment or familiarity to frat songs. I did, however, come across a couple of fraternity songbooks at the antique shop and one slow day I scanned them to PDF. Both for the same fraternity, 1954 "Songs of Beta Theta Phi", and 1955 (apparently identical) version of the same. In "publishing quality" each book is on the order of 300 MB, and my email balks at sending one. A "web quality" version is "only" around 32 MB and might offer better odds of successful transmission. Individual pages can be extracted, assuming I've got the energy. Lyrics appear only as part of the (piano?) scores, so separating them out is tedious, to say the least. While I don't know why anyone would be interested in this frat, it's possible that something in one of them might be similar enough to something interesting. I might respond to a PM, if anyone wants to discuss what's there and how to get it shared. There isn't a TOC, but the Index (with no correction for OCR errors) includes: Alpha Eta Song Alpha Marching Song (Brown) Alpha Omega Song (Moseley) Alpha Zeta Song (Blakeslee) Alternate Doxology (Tunison—Lozier) As Betas Now We Meet (Coulter) At the Beta Shrine (Williams) Banquet Song (Seaman) Beta Alpha Coming-In Song (Cahall) Beta Alpha Marching Song (Cahall) Beta And Idaho (Sower) Beta Days (Byrd—Ganiard) Beta Doxology (Tunison) Beta Friendship (Babcock) Beta Sires And Beta Sons (Lozier) Beta Sweetheart (Warner) Beta, We Praise Thee (Williams) Beta Theta Marching Song (Ford) Beta Theta Pi Betas Of Long Ago (Edwards) Beta's Bonds (Black) Beta's Emblems (Brooks) Carve Dat Canine (Covington) Chi Chapter March (Fifield) Clan Wooglin Marches (H.

Subject: RE: Fraternity & Sorority Chants and Songs From: LadyJean Date: 11 May 10 - 01:07 AM I started Transylvania College in 1973. Campus life revolved around Greek life. If you weren't Greek chances are you were spending Saturday nights in your dorm room. I went out for rush, and lasted all of two weeks. But I picked up a song or two. Tune; The Old Gray Mare We dig great big UH hairy chested men! Uh! hairy chested men! UH! hairy chested men! We dig great big UH! hairy chested men! We are the sweet Chi O WE are the sweet Chi O! We are the sweet Chi O We dig great big UH hairy chested men, we are the sweet Chi Oh We drink scotch and rye with the best of them, wine with the rest of them, beer with the Transy boys. We dig great big UH! hairy chested men. We are the sweet Chi O. The Phi Mus sang Souers Fideles. (French for Faithful Sisters, and I've probably mispelled the French for sisters.) Those are the words, Souers Fideles sung over and over and over to the tune of "Eidelweiss". To sing it properly, the words should be pronounces "surf eedell". I think one of the reasons I washed out of rush was that I thought it was funny. Then there was the kind of tuneless chant, Oh the Deltas! The Deltas! The Delta Delta Deltas! They're the Coolest, they're the sweetest they're the classiest! They're full of vim! They're full of strength! They're full of pep!

Subject: RE: Fraternity & Sorority Chants and Songs From: Azizi Date: 09 Oct 09 - 12:57 PM Joe, I think your comment is too broad brushed. I'm a very inactive member of a Black Greek lettered sorority-Alpha Kappa Alpha, Inc. I can say without equivocation that neither that organization nor any other Black Greek lettered sorority or fraternity that I'm aware of what most Americans would call "politically conservative". I'm sure that there are members within various Black Greek lettered organizations who are conservatives, and racists and sexists, but the organizations as a whole are not. Most of these organizations were founded in response to racism on university campuses, and, in particular, to the "White" Greek lettered organizations' prohibition against accepting People of Color as nembers of their sororities or fraternities. And, even those these organizations are called "Black" Greek lettered sororities and fraternities, they have members who are not Black. Furthermore, there are newer, multiracial university based sororities and fraternites which have been formed in the end of the 20th century. Joe, if by your comments you meant "White" Greek lettered sororities and fraternities, I would hope that a significant number of those organizations have moved past what undoubtedly was a racist, sexist, past. And also I would hope that some of those organizations' positions on issues-if they formally take such positions-would be politically liberal if not progressive. |
Subject: RE: Fraternity & Sorority Chants and Songs From: Joe Offer Date: 09 Oct 09 - 11:17 AM I think I'd be surprised to find a sorority or fraternity that didn't have a fair amount of racism and sexism (and political conservatism). I'm sure there are lots of good things to be said about such organizations, but I used to cringe at what I heard and saw when I visited fraternity and sorority houses. -Joe- |

Subject: RE: Fraternity & Sorority Chants and Songs From: Joe_F Date: 01 Sep 09 - 08:31 PM This does not strictly qualify, in that Caltech abolished fraternities in the 1930s (IIRC) and set up four student houses, into three of which it moved the three biggest fraternity chapters then existing, and into the fourth (Fleming House, to which I belonged from 1954 to 1958), the remaining smaller ones. The antiintellectualism reflected in this song, tho unlovely, was IMO a lesser evil than the cutthroat competition prevalent at some other prestigious colleges, against which it was fairly effective protection. TTTO John Brown's Body. On Caltech's dreary campus mid the iceplant and the smog, There are things that often happen not found in the catalog. Not everyone's a genius or an introverted queer, For Fleming House is here. Fleming House is here to stay, boys, Just for college fun and play, boys. To the Institute's dismay, boys, Fleming House is here to stay. Our teams bowl over others like a bowling ball does pins. We have our share of laughter as we rack up all our wins. Not one distinguished scholar, not a brilliant engineer, For Fleming House is here. (There may be another stanza, but if so, I have repressed it.) Mention of the smog makes this a fairly recent composition in 1954. |
Subject: RE: Fraternity & Sorority Chants and Songs From: Azizi Date: 24 Aug 09 - 11:39 AM Just for the record, I see there are a lot of versions of "Old Mother Hubbard...he gave her a bone of her own" posted on thread.cfm?threadid=41824#605081 "Nasty Nursery Rhymes" thread. And I didn't mean to imply that the Black Greek lettered fraternity that uses this rhyme was frontin like they had made it up. Using verses and a line here or there from schoolyard rhymes, spirituals, R&B songs, Pop songs, and other compositions is "standard operating procedure" when it comes to folk music. And I consider fraternity & sorority chants as a genre of folk music. |
Subject: RE: Fraternity & Sorority Chants and Songs From: Azizi Date: 24 Aug 09 - 10:34 AM By the way, I just read this example of an old schoolyard rhyme from a 2001 Mudcat thread posted here by Mudcat member Spaw: Old Mother Hubbard Went to the cupboard To fetch her poor dog a bone. But when she bent over, Rover came over, And he had a bone of his own. -snip- Spaw wrote that he remembered this as a schoolyard rhyme 40 years ago. I remember recently hearing a Black fraternity member reciting it along with other verses on a YouTube video. Unfortunately, I can't remember which video it was or which fraternity. I think it was Omega Psi Phi, Inc.-which makes some sense because of their "nasty dog" meme. But I'm not sure about that. I'm curious if anyone reading this thread knows that fraternity chant. If so, I hope that you post it here. Thanks in advance. |

Subject: RE: Fraternity & Sorority Chants and Songs From: Azizi Date: 11 May 09 - 08:45 PM Well, ILL IOTA, let me rephrase what I wrote. I'm going to take the liberty of reposting clean examples of your fraternity's chants under an agreement that I have with this forum's founder/owner that I can reposts guests' posts with citation. The reason for my fraternity/sorority page is to help ensure that those chants are preserved as part of African American (and others') history and culture. Thanks, again. |

I'm assuming that by IOTAs you mean this fraternity: http://www.iotaphitheta.org/ Is this right? ** I'm going to take the liberty of reposting this on the Fraternity & Sorority Chants page of my website: http://www.cocojams.com/fraternity_and_sorority_chants1.htm Thanks again!
