Lyrics to The Panhellenic Toast

Hi Everyone,

Below are the lyrics to the W&M Panhellenic Toast. My senior year I was the Inter-Sorority Council President at William & Mary and my favorite part of the job was getting to lead the Toast during Recruitment. Every year students, residents, tourists, and former alumni would also stop and listen as we sang (shouted) in Sorority Court. It's a fabulous tradition!

-Heather Irene, AXO


The Panhellenic Toast
The College of William and Mary

(Humming proceeds the song as Chapter members exits their houses)

All: Here’s to all the women of Greek Fraternity
Whatever their creed or motto, wherever they may be.
Our strength is on our country, our God, democracy.
May we never be found wanting in allegiance to these three!

Phi Mu: Now here’s to all the Phi Mu’s who wear the heart and hand
To the rose and white ribbons that bind us in our bond
From the lion we take our courage, our strength and honor, too.
May we always have the memory of that love that means Phi Mu!

Kappa Alpha Theta: And here’s to dear old Theta, colors of black and gold.
Our kites will e’re unite us with sisters young and old
Twin stars so brightly shining will guide us night and day
From Kappa Alpha Theta our hearts will never stray!

Kappa Delta: And here’s to Kappa Delta, the diamond shield we wear.
Throughout our lives in sisterhood our friendships we will share.
Our truth is in our emerald, our beauty our white rose
Through Ta Kala Diokomen our love forever grows!

Gamma Phi Beta: And here’s to Gamma Phis who crescent shines so bright.
With the pink carnation and browns of dark and light.
Our love is with our sisters and loyal we will be,
In Gamma Phi Beta true friendships you will see!

Pi Beta Phi: And here’s to Pi Phi angels, the wine and silver blue.
The friendships that we cherish, and sisters ever true.
Our hopes and aspirations, we aim our arrows high.
May we always be united in our Pi Beta Phi!

Delta Delta Delta: And here’s to all Tri-Deltas, the silver gold and blue.
The never ending circle, the pearl and pine tree, too.
Our sisterhood so special, good friends we’ll ever be.
Your happiness is our hope and love for the Deltas three!

Chi Omega: And here’s to Chi Omega, the cardinal and the straw.
And to the white carnation, the fairest flower of all.
And to the skull and crossbones, the letters and the owl
May we ever keep unbroken our love and sacred vows!

Kappa Kappa Gamma: And here’s to Kappa Gamma and to her key of gold.
Unlocking love and loyalty her bond will ever hold.
The beautiful and good to us will always be
The blue and blue, the friendships true of KKG!

Alpha Chi Omega: And here’s to the lyre with pearls of friendship true.
Our sisterhood we cherish in everything we do.
Together we will honor the sacred vows that tie.
And ever will we seek the heights in the name of Alpha Chi!

Delta Gamma: And here’s to Delta Gamma our anchor and our shield.
Our loyalty united, our friendships ever sealed.
The cream rose deems her beauty, amidst bronze pink and blue.
And to our own fraternity we always will be true!

Repeat first verse:

All: Here’s to all the women of Greek Fraternity
Whatever their creed or motto, wherever they may be.
Our strength is on our country, our God, democracy.
May we never be found wanting in allegiance to these three!

(song ends with all Chapters humming as they return to their houses)
