Zeta Cheers

[BrownEyedGirl]

Hey everyone! I was wondering if we could all share our favorite Zeta cheers, chants and songs! This past week our campus finished Sigma Chi Derby Days (ZTA won!) and I realized during some of the events how few cheers we have. Our chapter has so much spirit - I'd love to learn some new cheers and songs to share with my sisters. What are your favorites?

[ZTAngel]

I think most of you all know this one. My chapter doesn't know that many cheers. :( I'd love to hear what you all do.

Z, Z, Z with an E
T, T, T with an A
Z with an E
T with an A
ZETA TAU ALPHA!

[ZTAMich]

our pres and vp membership brought this one back from NLC this past summer and we love it. We line up on our stairs during recruitment and yell it out to get pumped up!

Zeta's in the front let me hear ya grunt say uhuhuhuh go Zeta
Zeta's in the middle let me hear ya giggle say te-hehehe go Zeta
Zeta's in the rear let me hear ya cheer say woohohohoho go Zeta

a Zeta song book should have some cheers or songs that are pretty peppy as wel.

[Dianne]

One of our chapter's faves is the Conversion song...I'm not sure how popular it is, so here are the words -
You will be a Zeta if you know what's good for you
So listen while we sing to you our songs of gray and blue
Our crest is best by test, you'll see
We'll always treat you right
So raise your glasses high and drink to ZTA tonight!
For you will find the girls as nice as they can be
So come along and join the best fraternity
We got that pep
(that pep) ----only seniors say this part
that go
(that go)
That makes you want to say
Halleuia, I'm converted and I'll be a ZTA!
Halleuia, I'm converted and I'll be a ZTA!

And of course Nickelodeon is one of our faves, too, but I think evreyone knows that one.

[muZTA]

At my school our very favorite cheer is the echo song. Here are the words, just repeat every line.
Z
ZT
ZTA
Zeta
We like, we like, we like Zeta
Oh no no no not another
We are the sisters of the ZTA fraternity, there are no others with out love and loyalty.
Z-Zeta, Zeta Tau, Zeta Tau Alpha
This all goes along with a little knee, clap, snap thing. It is really fun and we do it on the first day of rush. There is also this one that I love.
Z- T- ZTA
ZTA- Zeta Tu Alpha
Z-T- ZTA
Zeta Tau Alpha Girls
Also, what is the Nickalodean song, I don't think I know that one.
L.U.B.U.I.L-

Dianne, I haven't heard of the Nickelodeon one either. I have a few ZTA cheers I really love....we just use them a little too much, that's all! Here's one:

Ru-Rah
Ru-Rah
Who the heck are we?
We're the Zeta ladies,
We're the best sorority!
All the way, all the way, all the way, ZTA,
Zeta-Tau-Alpha!

A song I like is:
Hoorah for Zeta, Hoorah for Zeta
Someone in the crowd yelling Hoorah for Zeta
Z-E-T-A
Who's it gonna be today?
Zeta...that's who, rah, rah, rah!!

They look kinda silly typed out but are really cute in person! I'd love to hear anyone else's, though!! Dianne, I hear y'all use the same cheer at C of C that they do at Wofford - where the only word is "Zeta!" That one makes me smile....

[UDZETA]

This cheer is fun because there is a little dance that goes with it.
Hip-hop, Zeta rock,
Let me hear your left foot drop.
Boom! Shake it up, shake it up!
Boom! Shake it up, shake it up!
Hip-hop Zeta rock,
Let me hear your right foot drop.
Boom! Shake it up, shake it up! Boom! Shake it up, shake it up!

At MD we did that too but the last sentence was

Zeta Zeta all the way.

Then we did:

Z Z ZTA
Zeta Zeta Tau Alpha
Z Z ZTA
ZTA for me!

[zta_princess00]

Wow
I am the music chair at UM St. Louis and this is really helpfull. I would really love a pm from the Roo Ra girl or anyone else who know that tune and I will so call and you can sing it to me. It is like my personal goal to know all possible zeta songs.

My fav is

When I say Z-T- you say A
Z-T (A)
Z-T (A)
When I say Turquise you say Gray
Turquoise (Gray)
Turquoise (Gray)
When I say Number you say One
Number (One)
Number (One)
ZTA is number one!
ZTA is number one!

this one one is used to pump us up (ie during greek games or after rush parties)

ooooooooooooooooooooh oh!
gosh almighty
what the hell you say?
flim flam

I'm a Z-T-A

but the oooh at the beginning is held out really long until someone breaks it

The cheer is a knock-off of Ole Miss' Hotty Toddy.

[ZTAudiogal]

Zeta Tau Alpha, Z-T-A

Violets white, colors gray and blue.
Loyal girls who are faithful and true
Rah, rah, rah, rah, rah, Z-T-A
Zeta Tau Alpha, Z-T-A! Hey!

[ZetaLove1422]

Hip hop, Zeta Rock,
Let me see your right foot drop!
Boom! Shake it out, shake it out!
Boom! Shake it out, shake it out!
Come on, move your feet,
Groove it to the Zeta beat!
Boom! ShaKe it out, shake it out!
Boom! Shake it out, shake it out!
AW YEAH! LET 'EM SEE,
ZETA'S WHERE THEY WANNA BE!!
BOOM! SHAKE IT OUT, SHAKE IT OUT!
BOOM! SHAKE IT OUT, SHAKE IT OUT!

And....

Hold on, wait a minute
Nothings going on unless Zeta's in it
Move over, back up on it
Zeta's gonna get this party started! (x3)
And then another one (my fav!) is...

Z---T---A--- Don't play, all the way
We're the best, so give it a rest
Number one, and all the fun
We're the ones that make ya say
Ooh Aah! Zeta Tau!
Ooh Aah! Zeta Tau!

It's super cute!

[violetpretty]

This one I learned last semester when I was a Rho Gamma. Apparently the Iota Omegas got it from a sister who transfered from Miami Ohio. Months later, it STILL gets stuck in my head (but I love it because it's so cute)! It's to the tune of Supercalifragilisticexpiladocious.

Zeta Z-E-T-A-T-A-U-A-L-P-H-A!
Friendship love and sisterhood each and every day!
Once you are a part of it you'll always want to say
Zeta Z-E-T-A-T-A-U-A-L-P-H-A!

[PhenomenalZTA]

This one gets me going!!

Boom Boom
I'm glad I'm a ZTA
Boom Boom
Wouldn't have it any other way
Boom Boom
I'm a ZTA to stay
Won't you come my way
Boom Boom!

Zeta love is good!
Won't you join our sisterhood!
If you'd like to stay
You can be a ZTA!!


Yay!!!!!

[Kyma<3'sZeta]

I love Nickalodeon and the Zeta Z-E-T-A-T-A-U-A-L-P-H-A. I love when we sing them for bid night cause theres just sooo much energy!

Here's a cute little chant we just learned:

Who's wears the crown?
I say the Zeta's wear the crown,
And when the Zeta's wear the crown,
We make them ALL BOW DOWN!

It's really cute haha

[FSUZeta]

the tlc who visited kappa tau chapter during rush workweek last fall taught the girls a really cute chant from her chapter(kappa-u of texas):

Z--E--T--A--. we're the girls from zeta,

Come right in, you'll want to stay,

You could be a Z-T-A.

there is some rythmic snapping and arm swinging involved too. arms extended down by sides on Z and T and bent up at elbows with finger snap on E and A, and continue that thruout song. absolutely darling!!

[Kyma<3'sZeta]

So we just learned a song called Madness and it's really cute!!

Zeta Tau Alpha, Zeta Tau Alpha
Zeta Tau Alpha, Zeta Tau Alpha

(And half the girls repeat this over and over again, the other half sing:)

We call it fun but you may call it madness
Stay here with us and you'll forget your sadness
With the gold shield and crown
We are known all around
And when we are gone,
You will remember our song
We are the
Zeta Tau Alpha, Zeta Tau Alpha
Zeta Tau Alpha GIRLS!

[speedsters]

madness is one of my favourites!

i think because it reminds me of a camp song :)

[HollyKesten ZTA]

Madness is great, for the people who don't know nickolodean...

Oh that Turquioise Blue and Grey
They both stand for ZTA
They make you want to shout and say,
I'm glad that im a Zeta


The crown and shield will always be
a symbol of our loyalty
of truth and good and sisterhood
and love we share for Zeta

Zeta, We love you Zeta
A dearer group to us theres never been
We're proud to wear our Zeta Pin
Boom Boom Boom

We are proud that we can say
We belong to ZTA
Our love grows deeper day by day
in Zeta Zeta Zeta.

Another one that I like is called Hum dee Dum...

Hum De Dum

Sit right down and lend an ear

For all the Zeta’s are gathered here

To tell you once and maybe more

That Z-T-A you’ll just adore


Hum De Dum,

We are the Z-T-A

Hum De Dum,

We show it every day

Hum De Dum

We wear the blue and grey

Z-T-A, Z-T-A, Z-T-A


See those Zetas give a cheer

We are the tops every year

The others try to move ahead

But its never been done and its never been said.


Hum De Dum,

We are the Z-T-A

Hum De Dum,

We show it every day

Hum De Dum

We wear the blue and grey

Z-T-A, Z-T-A, Z-T-A
