Hey guys, sorry to intrude on your forum, but I had this in my files from forever so I thought I would share . . . you probably have these in your song book already. I gave some copies to our AGD chapter here but I don't think they were interested . . .

There are three songs so keep scrolling . . . and tell me if you like them? I think they are cute.

This is to the tune of Brown Eyed Girl by Van
Morrison Brown Eyed Squirrel

Hey where did we go
Days when Rush came
Down in the Gam house
Pledgin' a new name
Laughing and a running hey, hey
Skippng and a jumping
In the afternoon sun with
Our hearts a thumpin' with you
My brown eyed squirrel
You my brown eyed squirrel
Do you remember when we used to sing
Sha la la la la la la la te da Alpha Gam
So hard to find your way
On your own
I saw Gams the other day
My how they have grown
Cast my worries back there
Sometime I'm overcome thinking bout
Laughing and running
Behind the gam house with you
My Brown eyed Squirrel
You my brown eyed squirrel
Do you remember when we used to sing
Sha la la la la la la la te da Alpha Gam

Sweet Home Alpha Gamma : to the tune of Sweet Home Alabama

Big wheels keep on turnin
Carry me to SIU**
Sing songs about my sisters
I miss Alpha Gamma once again >
I hear others talk about it,
No one ever puts it down
And I know I will remember
There is no better one around
Chorus:
Sweet home Alpha Gamma
Where the girls are so true
Sweet home Alpha Gamma
Yes I'm coming home to you
In Alpha Gam we love our sister(ooh ooh ooh)
We'd like to share that love with you
With studies sport and lots of parties,
You'll always have enough to do
**Use your school.

Mombo#5

One,Two,Three,Four, Five
Everybody's on the bar so c'mon let's slide
To the hot guys around the corner
The boys say they've got some Jungle Juice
But I really don't wanna
Get a buzz like I had last week
So let's get on down and love those Greeks
We've got Freshman and Sophomores and Juniors and Seniors
And as we continue, you know we're getting sweeta
So what can I do, I really beg you my Lord
To me flirtin' it's just like a sport
Anything (school name, chapter - whatever fits) it's all good let me pump it
And then we're gonna jump it
A little bit of Alpha in my life
A little bit of Gamma by my side
A little bit of Delta's what I need
A little bit of sister's what I see
A little bit of Spring Break in the sun
A little bit of mixers all night long
A little bit of fun, yeah here I am
A little bit of you makes me your Gam
Jump up and down
And move it all around
Shake your head to the sound
Put your hands on the ground
Take one step left and one step right
One to the front and one to the side
Clap your hands once and clap your hands twice
And if it looks like this then you're doin' it right
A little bit of Alpha in my life
A little bit of Gamma by my side
A little bit of Delta's what I need
A little bit of sister's what I see
A little bit of Spring Break in the sun
A little bit of mixers all night long
A little bit of fun, yeah here I am
A little bit of you makes me your Gam
I don't really want to, fall in love with a Greek like you
But I can't run and I can't hide
You and me gonna get wild tonight

Okay I can figure out the tunes to 1 and 2 but I'm a little young for #3..can you provide the sheet music, lol?

Thats the best use of brown eyed girl by any sorority that I have heard before. I do believe every sorority uses that dang song.

I thought it would be a exclusive to AGD since it was their mascott.

I didn't think the song to mambo # 5 was that old???

These songs are GREAT! Mambo #5 was so cool my Senior Year, since we had a sister with every name in the song...we went nuts when we heard the song at parties or on the radio!

So I've been meaning to post this song on here for all of you, and rather than creating a new thread, I was a good girl and dug up an old one to reply to.

This song was written by Zeta Theta's Fall 1997 new member class, and it is sung to the tune of Madonna's "Material Girl." There used to be additional verses, but we shortened it to use it for our skit at recruitment, and these are the only lyrics I can remember.

Alpha Gam Girl

Some are sophomores, juniors, seniors,
A family all the same
AGD is the place for me
Where I want to stay

We come together, all united
In our sisterhood
We’re all different, but we love her
For her womanhood

‘Cause we’re living in an Alpha Gam world
And we are all AGD girls
You know that we are living in an Alpha Gam world
And we are all AGD girls

Some are athletes, scholars, workers
Some just like to play
Intramurals, formals, parties
Make my rainy day

Boys may come and boys may go
But sisters stand by me
Experience has made me rich
And now I’m AGD

‘Cause we’re living in an Alpha Gam world
And we are all AGD girls
You know that we are living in an Alpha Gam world
And we are all AGD girls

Yay, posts from Jen make my rainy day! Did I get all the words right? It took me forever to think of the "Some are athletes..." verse. I couldn't remember what happened after Alice kicked the soccer ball at the rushees in skit.

Considering the new members this past fall didn't know Hadie Kadie in December, I think it's safe to say they don't know Alpha Gam Girl. We'll have to have a fun song practice soon...tell Sandy she has to come and help us!

cute songs, although I have a hard time getting past the use of the word Gam.... since it means leg.

but that's just me

Pretty awesome Brown Eyed Girl song...it's a "thing" for our chapter to sing Brown Eyed Squirrel just about everywhere and do our dance and all...but we don't change the words, except for "squirrel".
