(Contact the Central Office if you don't have a copy.)Ī recording of some of our songs was commissioned by the Executive Council in 1952, featuring the Don Craig Male Chorus of New York. The current edition of The Chi Psi Story published nearly thirty Chi Psi songs, along with more than a dozen of the more popular collegiate fight songs and alma maters. Let’s have at it, lads!įor generations, Chi Psi has been known as the 'Singing Fraternity,' and songs have always been a great expression of our bonds of Brotherhood. By the singing of them, we will become more loyal clansmen, more enthusiastic Chi Psis. Our clan needs more songs and more singing. Shall we not, then, take immediate steps in the direction indicated? Everyone knows the tune to 'Chi Psis Ever” (a standard alma mater tune) and 'Chi Psis Are We” ('Scotland the Brave”). With a good choregus taking the lead, all members will gladly increase their repertoire during their undergraduate days … and beyond. The newest members should learn the most important and familiar songs at once. Make him the Choregus and charge him with leading the Alpha in song at every possible chance.

Find a Brother who has appropriate musical tastes and talent, who can carry a tune and break apart the harmony, who understands versification, and who is a loyal and earnest Chi Psi.

The sine qua non of a singing fraternity is a man at the head of the enterprise at each Alpha, suited by tastes and talent for the work. Everywhere that Chi Psi enthusiasm exists, it should find spontaneous expression in jolly Chi Psi songs.Īnd this leads to the suggestion of what would appear to be an essential piece. So we say, we must have more singing and more songs – at our banquets, in our Lodges.

How much happier, then, would be every Alpha’s life with loyal Chi Psi songs and airs! The Lodge would be more cheerful, and each Brother would surely be inspired to work all the more for the Fraternity. College life without music would be dull.
