We often call them "circle songs." Common at homecomings and so forth.
Older chapters have them, whether they are HBCU or PWI. My chapter is young and small so we only sang the Sweetheart Song unless we were visiting another yard. We had a couple of songs, we made ourselves or got from older Sorors, that we sang on special occasions.
The choreography is something I only see when older Sorors have their circles at homecomings or when chapters pass the choreography down each line. I know a few 70s Sorors who showed me their dance routines. I love it.
This is great for tradition and culture. I can't blame younger Sorors for not knowing what older Sorors don't teach them or aren't around to teach them. Perhaps the biggest thing is making sure everyone knows the "official" songs that every Delta should know. Those other songs will either be taught or not taught depending on where you are and how important people think they are.
