DG Songs

[ibcrankieDG]

During Rush, and Ritual, and Serenades... it seems that we are always singing the same songs. I was wondering else you guys sing.

RUSH- When you go Away to College, Do I see an Anchor in your Eye, DG under the sea (we made up this for theme day), In the mood, Big Toe (I'm sure you guys don't use this one either), I think that's it...

SERENADES- A DG & her Boyfriend, & Heartless Hanna - of course!

And the ONLY Cheer we ever use is Ruh, Rah, Ramma!

Can you all please help me! I would very much like to get more songs - Cheers especially!

[DGforME]

[RACH_DG]

Hey, I didn't know some of those songs either!!! If you could e-mail me the words to DG under the sea, In the mood, Big Toe, A DG and her boyfriend, heartless hanna and also your cheer I would GREATLY appreciate it. I know all my sisters would love to have new songs we could sing!!! I will also e-mail you some of our cheers cause we have quiet a few!!! Thanks!! ITB, Rachel

[LGoddess27]

[RxyChrldr]

I would also love a copy of these lyrics if you get around to it :) Thx!

[Angels&Arrows]

at USM the two songs I remember during Greek Week, Derby Days and Rush were:

D-E-L-T-A Delta D-E-L-T-A
G-A-double M-A Gamma G-A-double M-A
We are the Delta Gamma's
We're bronze, pink and blue
We are the Delta Gamma's
Don't you want to be a DeeGee too?
Don't you want to be a DeeGee too?


I was Delta Gamma Born and Delta Gamma Bred
and when I die I'll be Delta Gamma Dead...
So rah rah for DeeGee, rah rah for DeeGee
Rah Rah for Delta Gammaaaaa

[GeorginaDG63]

hey ladies...i have not heard of half these songs so if you could please email them to me i would appreciate it!!! georginadepalma@hotmail.com
also, for our last Fall Recruitment, a few of our sisters redid the words to Nellys...Ride With Me...i thought it was the cutest song ever...so I figured i would write the words on here for you all to see them! here they are:
Where they at? (8 times)
If you wanna go and take a ride wit me
To learn more 'bout the sisters of Delta Gee
And why that we feel this way?
(Hey, must be Dee Gee)

If you wanna join a sorority
A feel of sisterhood like the girls of Delta Gee
And why that we feel this way?
(Hey, must be Dee Gee)

In the new school, new town, feel so right
Lookin, tryin ta spot someone real nice
Lookin for a little place where I know I'll feel at home
(feel at home)
We can be hangin' out (hangin' out) on a Friday night
or helpin the blind with Service for Sight
But as long as you got your friends girl, you know its on
(you know its on)
I see someone comin towards me who's so much more
Honest and real true
And sayin' she's my sister is somethin that I love to do
I'm always there for you
And that ain't nothin new
Dee Gee is friendship, loyalty, and sisters too
I like the way you're always there
And I like those stylish letters you wear
I like the way you always seem to care
And i can see you smilin way over there

(repeat chorus)

[LGoddess27]

[RxyChrldr]

omg the Nelly remake was way cute! One of the fun things they had in a skit was a little twist on Jay-Z's song H to the izzo...they instead sang "D to the izzo, G to the izzay"...it was really funny

[hannahgirl]

we don't sing a lot of those songs either. if any one has any new cheers or songs, let me know or email them to me (uadg@yahoo.com) it would be really cool to get some new stuff going in the chapter.
for recruitment in 2000 we did a remake of george michael's Faith which was really cute.

[wtrski44]

I am a Delta Gamma at northern illinois university and i know that we sing dear dg a lot at ceremonies.... I do not know the words right off the top of my head but if anyone would like them just feel free to email me!
love and i.t.b

[CarolinaDG]

You wanna know the funny thing? The tri-delt rho chi at our school was the one to teach us the Delta Gamma born and Delta Gamma bred song...

Here's one that we use a lot... I've drawn a complete blank on any others, though!
Delta, Delta Gamma
I'm so happy, that I am-a
Delta, Delta Gamma
With my sidekick,
A little Hannah
When you see the DG's walking
You will see the other's talking
How they wish that they could be
Just like me a, a little DG

[CarolinaDG]

BTW... What are serenades? I saw it on one of the DG's websites, but I have no clue what y'all are talking about.

well, big toes are a requirement for initiation of course! :D

and oh yeah, there's a song too. we used to sing it at round 2 of rush after the hectic first round where the rushees had to visit 18 houses.

it's really fast and fun and everyone gets a kick out of it!

does your big toe have a blister
from the walking that you've done?

have you done so much small talking
that you've almost swallowed your tongue?

are your smiling muscles cramping
and living's just no fun?

unh uh!

does your big toe have a blister
from the walking that you've done?

[etahannah]

what tune does it have?

i want to sing it to the "do your ears hang low" but i dont know if that is right! i could just be weird and crazy!!

noreen


eta: no smart comments on the weird and crazy!! haha...i know what you are all thinking! :p

[UGAnchora]

We sang this new song during rush, because our theme was the WIzard of OZ:

Somewhere there is a DG(to the tune "Somewhere Over The Rainbow")

Somewhere There is a DG
very near,
She's a friend I can count on
when no one else is here.

Delta Gamma is friendship
always true.
When college days are over,
Hannah will not leave you.

Our time for happiness is now
cause sisters we will always be
forever...

Our times of joy
will certainly
continue for eternity,
we're bound together.

When we chose Delta Gamma,
we did find,
Love and understanding,
Frienships of every kind.

[AngieWashU]

When I was a collegian--I graduated two years ago--I created a songs page for my chapter website. We have words to most of the songs you've all mentioned and a couple that you haven't.

http://www.restech.wustl.edu/~dgamma/dgsongs.htm

My favorite that you haven't mentioned is probably "Mmm, Mmm My Sisters" or "What Does It Mean to be A Sister?". "What Does It Mean to be A Sister?" is to the tune of "Friends" by Michael W. Smith. I'd be happy to help any of you with tunes--just PM me.

ITB,

[UMDG1873]

From hearing everyone talk, it seems like so many of y'all sing lots of songs. We hardly do any singing, except during rush! Even then, it's not really singing...it's more like screaming our heads off! Our door song is D-E-L-T-A, and when we're leading the girls out of the house, we sing the "Delta, Delta Gamma, I'm so happy, that I'm a..." song. Our skits change every year, but we don't use the older songs that I've seen in the songbook. Ole Miss doesn't have a Songfest or anything, either, so we hardly ever have an opportunity to sing DG songs (and most of us don't know them anyway :( ).

When we have a candlelight, we sing "Going to the Chapel." What kinds of singing traditions do y'all have?

[AnchorAlumna]

Doesn't anybody sing "Dream Girl" anymore? What a shame. It's a beautiful song, written just for DG. One of the DG songbooks even has the different parts written out.

[AnchorAlumna]

[notyouraverage]

We sing Dream Girl constantly! It was my absolute favorite song when I went through recruitment, but I have to admit I'm starting to get a little tired of it. It's completely beautiful though! I think practicing it for prefs just wore it a little thin...

[AngieWashU]

I love Dream Girl! The only time my chapter sang it was during candlepasses, so I can never hear it enough! (Sure, I say that now... :) )

My favorite DG song is probably "When You Go Away to College", although a CDC taught me a pretty song to the tune of "Dona Nobis Pachem" that I would love to hear a chapter sing.

[notyouraverage]

post the lyrics!

[AngieWashU]

Dee Gee and the Anchor
Now they are mine
Love and sisterhood
Through our lifetime

(It is either "our lifetime" or "my lifetime"). Enjoy!

[DGMarie]

A convention in DC a few years ago they gave all chapters a CD with the DG songs on it plus a binder with the lyrics. You might check with EO to see if they are still available. I liked being able to hear the tune to the songs as well as have the words.

[rosechr4]

Wow, my chapter must be a lot different than all of yours...

I've been in my chapter for almost 3 years now and I've never heard "When You Go Away to College" or "Big Toe"... And we've only sang "Dream Girl" twice...

But we do have a lot of fun songs we sing during Fall Recruitment.



This first one is to the tune of "High Flying Flag"

We're the Dee Gee Crew and we're welcoming youuu
To our house full of friendship and fun

:::::clap clap:::::

Let us tell you offfffff the house we loveeeeeeeeeee
The house that we know is for you

:::::clap clap:::::

Oh our hearts beat true for the bronze, pink and blueeee
And our anchors and sisters too

:::::clap clap:::::

So remember us at Delta Gee and keep your eye on the Dee Gee Crew

:::::clap clap:::::



This other one, we do for a different day/phase of Fall Recruitment
(Just clap throughout the entire song at an even/sort of fast pace)

Ohhhhh I wanna be a dee geeee
Oh yes, Oh yes, Oh yes I do

I wanna be a dee geeeee
And wear the bronze and pink and blue

Drop your anchorrrr,
Come and beeee,
Part of our sororityyyyy

We love Dee Geeeeeee,
So will youuuuu,
If you drop your anchor too

[ImaDeeGee]

Thank you for posting those lyrics! I have never heard the song that goes to "Your A Grand Old Flag" but I am taking the words to my chapter so we can start practicing! We are always looking for new songs!

[minDyG]

Dream Girl is my favorite too (obviously--i.e. my signature) and I sing it to my baby as a lullaby. I also sing her the one that goes "Out of my window, looking at the night / I can see your anchors shining bright / Swiftly flows the river to the sea / And your anchors do go silently / D G, I would like to go with you / I would like to sail the ocean blue..." She loves both of them! :)

I think the problem that most people are having is confusing the DG songs that are used for all the rituals with the chants (even the chants that are sung to a tune) from recruitment. That's why some people are like "I've never heard of that song..."

Also, I'm not sure if the song that Delta Iota sings for Senior Installation is a chapter thing, or if everyone uses the same one...but if there's a DG from UGA reading this, could you post the lyrics? I love that song and I tear up every time I hear it, but I can't remember the words.

[MardyPardy]

"When You Go Away to College" Is probably my favorite DG song. During my last collegiate year there were a few of us (myself included) that couldn't get through it without tearing up.

We have a small group (a triple trio) that sings O' Captain. Is anyone else familiar with that song? It's probably my favorite to sing.

i was speaking with an alumna from another chapter and they sing a different table grace....I thought "Lord now the board" was the only one...what are the lyrics to the other?

[AnchorAlumna]

Gracious Lord
We ask thy blessing
On thy bounty which we share
May Delta Gamma live forever
'Neath thy guidance and they care.

We sang that, standing behind our chairs, before we sat down to dinner (I'm tearing up, remembering those great days).
I believe it and others are in the DG Songbook, available from EO.

[banditone]

sorry to crash.

I've had it stuck in my head forever...
On my campus (U of Tulsa) they'd sing something that went: "DG, DG, Sweeter then a honeybee, DG to the bone"

There was a whole song, but that's all I remember... Sorry.

[AnchorAlumna]

Found this at the DG web site. Don't know the tune...sounds like a cute song, though.
Anchor of Gold
She wears an anchor of gold
And we are told, she's a DG to the bone
If you see that girl walking down the street
You can't leave that girl alone She's got eyes like a jewel, teeth like a pearl
Gosh, oh gee, she's a gift to this world
She wears an anchor of gold
And we are told, she's a DG to the bone
Delta Gee we love you, Delta Gee
First day of rush you go to all the houses
Second day of rush you're back where ours is
Delta Gee we love you, Delta Gee
We'll take Delta Gee, you know we love you Delta Gee

[AUDeltaGam]

sorry to crash.

DG, DG, Sweeter than a honey bee
Dg to the boney, bone, bone
When you see her walking down the street
You better leave her a-lone
She'd got eyes like stars,
Teeth like pearls
She's much cuter than the other girls
DG, DG Sweeter than a honey bee
DG to the bone

[banditone]

^^^^ Ahh!!!! Bringing back great memories of going house to house, serenading, then presenting our pledge classes to each other :D

[dgdramadawg]

Also, I'm not sure if the song that Delta Iota sings for Senior Installation is a chapter thing, or if everyone uses the same one...but if there's a DG from UGA reading this, could you post the lyrics? I love that song and I tear up every time I hear it, but I can't remember the words.

I remember using the "train song" for senior installation... was there another one y'all used after I graduated?

I love "Will You Wear Our Anchor," which we used to sing at prefs. I know a lot of girls didn't like it, though.

[minDyG]

I loved Will You Wear Our Anchor. I pretty much liked all the songs, though there were a couple I wasn't as crazy about as others. The one they sang at installation was, I've since discovered, Now and Forever by Carole King. Here are the lyrics if you're curious:
Now and Forever
You were a part of me
And the memory cuts like a knife
Didn't we find the ecstasy
Didn't we share the daylight
When you walked into my life
Now and forever I will remember
All the promises still unbroken
And think about all the words between us
The never needed to be spoken

We had a moment
Just one moment
That will last beyong a dream, beyond a lifetime
We are the lucky ones
Some people never get to do
All we got to do
Now and forever
I will always think of you

Didn't we come together
Didn't we live together
Didn't we cry together
Didn't we play together
Didn't we love together
And together we lit up the world

I miss the tears
I miss the laughter
I miss the day we met and all that followed after
Sometimes I wish I could always be with you
The way we used to do
Now and forever
I will always think of you
Now and forever
I will always be with you

[dgdramadawg]

We sang that at prefs, too. :)

[DGTess]

Ladies, at convention last year your chapter and alumni presidents were given CDs full of DG songs.

This is also from League of Their Own. We started using it while I was there! Glad people like it - it took some persuading to get people on board for adding it at prefs.

[AngieWashU]

The chapter I was advising started using Now and Forever during their pref ceremony five years ago. Anyone else start using it because of the CDC Jenny Levering? :)

One small change though, the chapter I advised switched out the word "daylight" for "sisterhood". ("Didn't we share the sisterhood?") Seemed appropriate.

[dukedg]

My favorite DG song is probably "When You Go Away to College", although a CDC taught me a pretty song to the tune of "Dona Nobis Pachem" that I would love to hear a chapter sing.

My chapter at Duke used to sing the Dona Nobis Pachem song (DG and the Anchor). We sang it in a three part round, which was beautiful and perfect for prefs or rituals when you need songs to last for a while!

[atomicflowers]

for recruitment we sang a lot of anchor in your eye and will you wear our anchor (that's probably my favorite one!)...and for rituals i remember singing will your wear our anchor and hmm my sister (i don't know if anyone else knows this...i'm from the eta chapter at the university of akron and there's a reference to akron in the song)...here are the lyrics just for kicks! lol

Hmm hmm, my sister
Hmm hmm, my sister
Couldn't get along without ya now
Got along without you before I met you
But I sure couldn't do it now

I came to Akron-U to find
The girls that really were my kind
And now I know I found the best
Because Dee Gee's are better than all the rest

there's another verse but no one really knows it so we just repeat that. =)

This particular song changes depending on the campus.

Welcome to GC....I'm an Eta DG too (alum)

[greyhoundrescue]

I know this is an old thread, but I've got some to add (especially since Recruitment is here again!)

At my chapter, we would do "Sweet Home Delta Gamma"--we were in Alabama, after all!

Also, my last year, a sister and i made up our own, to the tune of "My bologna has a fist name":
My sorority has a first name, it's D-E-L-T-A
My sorority has a second name, it's G-A-M-M-A
Oh, I'd love to pledge it every day,
And if you as me why, I'll say--
'Cause Delta Gamma has a way with G-R-E-E-K!

You could also do the "Oh! I wish I were an Oscar Mayer Weiner":
Oh! I wish I were a Delta Gamma sister
That is what I'd truly love to be!
Because, if I were a Delta Gamma sister,
Everyone would be in love with me!

If your chapter has a rival you really want to smash for a competitive event use the second part of this song (otherwise, please don't!!!!)
Oh! I'm glad I'm not a __________ sister
That is what I'd truly hate to be!
Because, if I were a _________ sister,
No one would be in love with me!

[USMAnchorGirl]

Since the collegiate members of my chapter are in the midst of recruitment too, I'll add the cheer we usually do!

Bim bam, by dam,
We're the girls of Delta Gam,
Fired up, ready to go,
We're the girls you need to know!
Look around and you will see
That number one is DELTA GEE!
Hip, hip, Dee Gee!
Hip, hip, Dee Gee!
Who's the best? Dee Gee!

[greyhoundrescue]

Hey! We did that one too, but a little differently:

Flim flam, by dam,
We're the girls of Delta Gam!
Fired up, ready to go,
We're the girls you need to know!
Look around and you will see
That number 1 is Delta Gee!
Hip hip, (pump your fist in the air twice) Dee Gee (make the signs as you say Dee Gee)!
Hip hip (pump your fist in the air twice), Dee Gee (make the signs as you say Dee Gee)!
Who's the best? Delta Gee (make the signs again)!

[baci]

Nice time of year for this song:

Will You Wear Our Anchor?
Will you wear our anchor, will you be the one,
Who will be our new sister, when morning comes?
Will you sail tomorrow, on the Delta Gee,
To new harbors of friendship, that you've yet to see?
Delta Gamma's calling, soon you will be gone,
But remember that DG is where you belong.
Will you wear our anchor, wear our pin with pride,
Will you be our new sister, you must decide.

I LOVE LOVE LOVE this song. We're singing it again for pref this year :D

[baci]

Good Luck^^

Love this song...goose bumps all the way!

[atomicflowers]

Good Luck^^

Love this song...goose bumps all the way!

thanks, baci! it made me cry when i went through recruitment/pref - the song really hits "home"!

can someone please post (or PM me) the lyrics to When You Go Away to College?

[ausguals]

You could also do the "Oh! I wish I were an Oscar Mayer Weiner":
Oh! I wish I were a Delta Gamma sister
That is what I'd truly love to be!
Because, if I were a Delta Gamma sister,
Everyone would be in love with me!




WOAH. After prefs today I started singing this and I had NEVER EVER heard it before!!! I thought I was making it up and I was so proud :(

[notyouraverage]

can someone please post (or PM me) the lyrics to When You Go Away to College?


When you go away to college
you must choose your goals in life
for nobody else can choose them for you
you must choose them for yourself.

You must also choose your sisters
sister for your whole life through
for nobody can choose them for you
you must choose them for yourself.

Watch the girls who wear the anchor
they're the ones who will be true
and then you will know that Delta Gamma
is the only one for you.

I sang that in two parts at my first "insider rush" during prefs with my Big. It was pretty special.

I love this song but of course we only use it for pref so I only get to hear it a couple of times a year! Thank you for posting these lyrics, notyouraverage!

here are two cheers that we usually do:

D-E-L-T-A
G-A-MM-A
Delta Gee, Delta Gee
rah rah Dee Gee
10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2...whoo! (throw arm in the air holding up 1 finger...as in, #1 =D)

leader: let me hear you Dee Gees yell!
group: what's that you say?
leader: i said let me hear you Dee Gees yell!
group: what's that you say?
group: (clapping) D-E-L-T-A, G-A-M-M-A
D-E-L-T-A
Delta Gamma girls, whoo!

and of course Dee Gees are what?! RED HOT!!

(why do i have a feeling that all of DG's cheers/songs are going to get posted in this thread?)

Check out youtube.com...search Delta Gamma or Delta Gamma songs. I stumbled across quite a few but just loved this one!

When you go away to college
...

I sang that in two parts at my first "insider rush" during prefs with my Big. It was pretty special.


I've heard it done in three parts at Washington University at St. Louis (my chapter of initiation). Amazing!

[stephanie1998]

These songs are bringing back memories for me! I love it!

We used to chant at the top of our lungs:
Delta Gamma D-G
We're the best Sorority
Flim flam give a damn
We're the Delta Gammas
HEY!

Also, when I was in college, a CDC came and taught us a dirty Delta Gamma song! haha! We thought it was hilarious. If you want it, email me at
DeltaGammaGirl1@aol.com

Steph

[bchapin]

hey i'm at the SDSU chapter and i've only heard like two of the cheers listed. or those are 2 that we do in san diego. and i know our chapter is definitely looking for new ones so i would love if you could email them to me :) sweetlilbethy6@yahoo.com

and for fall 08 this year we sang to miley cyrus - see you again it was super cute and i know panhellenic and a lot of the rushees really liked it. the lyrics are:

we've got our sights set on you
and we just can't wait.
DG is a house that will never be tamed
we knew you were something special
when you walked through the door
now DG can't wait to see you again.

we've got this way of knowin, when somethin is right
join delta gamma and be our sister for life
DGs have a deep connection,
always side by side
now DG can't wait to see you again.

our sisterhood's a dream
just take a look around
we're s s sisters and we just want to shout it out
felt like we couldn't breathe
before we joined DG
an anchor by our side and sisters for eternity
the next time we hangout, will be on bid day
our hearts can't rest til then
OoOoO
We, we can't wait to see you again.

We've got this crazy feelin deep inside
that you'd love delta gamma, because its so right
we are not mind readers, but we're reading the signs
that you can't wait to see us again.

Whenever we go out, the boys all check us out
they st st stutter when they ask us what we're thinkin bout
they all love delta g's, at all fraternities
all the boys stop and stare cause we're just bein DGs
the next time we hangout we will have fall 08s
our hearts can't rest til then
OoOoO
We, we can't wait to see you again

We've got our sights set on you and we just can't wait
our sisterhood's a dream
just take a look around
we're s s sisters and we just wanna shout it out
felt like we couldn't breathe before we joined DG
an anchor by our side and sisters for eternity
the next time we hangout will be on bid day
our hearts can't rest til then
OoOoO
we, we can't wait to see you again.

this year for philanthropy we did:
we're singing do do do do whop whop (x3)
do do whop whop DG
we want you to go DG
round here it's the very best thing
all you gotta do is pledge DG
now listen to the DGs sing
we're singing do do do do whop whop (x3)
do do whop whop DG
delta gamma, delta, delta gamma
welcome remember this we hope you go DG

we do like a bunch of snapping with this one too.

our welcome song for pref was To You, DG, Aloha which was cool because we did the lei ceremony
To you, DG, aloha
Aloha from the bottom of my heart
to your bronze pink and blue
to your sisters all true
anchored in friendship
that will last all life through
to you, DG, aloha
your cream rose
the fairest flower that grows
and in autumn, winter, spring
in summer, we will sing, sing to you
DG aloha

the one I'm surprised hasn't been mentioned, or maybe I just missed it, is Do I See An Anchor in Your Eye, I think that and Will you Wear Our Anchor are my two favorites.

DELTA GAMMA DELTA DELTA GAMMA GOOD NIGHT REMEMEBER THIS WE HOPE YOU JOIN DG
we're singing...and repeat til PNM's are gone and out of earshot.

We also sing another one for recruitment called Boom Boom, which is a cheer that our ATC that's a Delta Pi taught us. it goes
Boom Boom for the one that goes DG
Boom Boom For the one that I love
Boom Boom for the one that goes DG
With an anchor up above!
With a shield of white,
and an anchor bright
for every girl that PLEDGES RIGHT!
Boom Boom for the one that goes DG...repeat

The Spelling Song has two versions. Recruitment Version goes
With a D with an E With an LTA With a GAMMA
Oh Delta Gamma
That's what I am-a
I'm Delta Gam-born
and Delta Gam-bred
and When I die, I'll be Delta Gam-dead
'Cause I am a DG
And She is a DG
And we all love DG
And you should be a DG too

the regular version stays the same up til delta gam-dead then it goes rah rah for DG rah rah for DG rah rah for DG DELTA DG HEY!

Another cheer we have is for when we have a victory of some sort, like one of our sisters on the soccer team scores a goal or on bid day. it's one of our favorites. it goes
IT TAKES! IT TAKES! IT TAKES A LITTLE MORE TO BE A D E L T A, A DELTA GAMMA!

And there are a few songs HH has that I haven't seen yet. we obviously do Dream Girl for Candle Passes because our campus is too small for serenades and we do When you Go Away To College, Anchor In Your Eye, Out of My Window, Will You Wear Our Anchor, and MM My Sisters. Another Cheer is D-E-L-T-A:
D-E-L-T-A Delta D-E-L-T-A (no clap)
G-A-double M a
Gamma G-A-Double M A
We are the Delta Gamma's
We're the Broze Pink and Blue
We are the Delta Gamma's
Don't you wanna be a DG too?
Don't you wanna be a DG too?

D-E-L-T-A Delta D-E-L-T-A (Three Claps, then contiune clapping in rythmn)
G-A-Double M-A
Gamma G-A-Double M-A
We are the Delta Gamma's,
We're the Broze, Pink and Blue
We are the Delta Gamma's
Don't you wanna be a DG too?
Don't you wanna be a DG too?

The Romper Song, which is always done just for fun. It goes
Well I'm a Delta Gamma and I'm mighty proud to say
That all the other fraternaties may go along thier way
For I'm a Delta Gamma and as my life unfolds
I will stand by my fraternity and all that she upholds

And when I have a sweetheart I will want him straight and Tall
To know the Delta Gamma Song, the Delta Gamma call
and when we have a bungalowe all our dreams will all come true
for its when you marry a delta g your dreams will all come true

And when I have a daughter I will dress her like a dream
I'll send her off to college to be a DG queen
she'll never be a Phi Mu or wear a Kappa Key
She'll never be a Tri-Delta for she'll be a Delta G

And When I have a Son I will Show you something new
I'll make his little rompers out of bronze and pink and blue
and when he goes to college i know just what he'll do
he'll rush the Delta Gammas just like his daddy used to do

And when I go to heaven, meet St. Peter at the gate
and when he starts to question me, I'll tell him not to wait
For all the little angels the come from east to west
Oh every little angel wears an anchor on her chest

Mrs. St. Peter was a DG too!

Hey Look Us over is used during recruitment
Hey Look Us over, give us the eye
We're Delta Gamma and we can tell you why
We've got the friendship, we've got the fun
so give us a try and you'l know
We're always number one!

So if you go for the glamour, go for the class
go Delta Gamma like every classy lass
So if you're looking for the fraternity
that's right as right can be
here's the answer...DG!
