PI BETA PHI ANTHEM Pi Beta Phi to thee, Our blest fraternity! We wave thy colors brave on high And fling them out across the sky. Now we our voices raise In anthems loud of praise; Long let them ring The while we sing Of dear Pi Beta Phi. When college days are o'er II. WELCOME SONG OF THE HOSTESS CLUBS We'll give you something to remember us by We shall do our best, all the while, trying to please you, III. THREE LITTLE WORDS Air: Three Little Words Three little words! Oh, what they mean to me, Pi Beta Phi! I hear those three little words, They're all I live for, they are my pride, And what I feel in my heart No other words as these are half so dear to me, Three little words, Nine little letters which we all love, Pi Beta Phi! IV. ALTHOUGH KAPPAS ALWAYS FAVOR Air: The Orange and the Black Although Kappas always favor The dark and silver blue To the black and gold are true, And honor give them due, Of the wine and silver blue. Through the four short years of pleasure In the "frat" we hold so dear, In the fading of the year, And honors high to woo, And the wine and silver blue. When the cares of life o'ertake us, Mingling fast our locks with grey, Ever from us pass away? As we think of friendships true, 'Neath the wine and silver blue. V. SPEED THEE MY ARROW TRUE Air: Ach Ist Es Moeglich Dann Speed thee, my arrow, swift as the flying dove, Be thou my messenger straight to her heart, Haste thee, my arrow, sleep on her gentle breast; Out in the twilight, stood I so true and brave, VI. MY PI PHI GIRL My Pi Phi girl, I love you, 'Deed I do, my Pi Phi girl. Your colors, wine and blue, To thee we're loyal and we're true. It seems to me you are the best Of all fraternities; For I love you—yes, indeed I do! My Pi Phi girl, I love you. VII. WHEN I WAS a FRESHMAN Air: Carolina in the Morning When I was a freshman I just hoped I'd get a bid to When I was a pledge I feared that even then I'd never be a Pi Phi; Pi Phi; And now I spend a lot of time just being glad I really It seems to me that any girl who knows what is right VIII. I DON'T WANT A KAPPA KEY Ruth Chase-Gutch, Iowa Beta I don't want a Kappa Key (Kappa Key), The Delta Gammas I can't see. Of all the "frats" that are on high (are on high) There's only one that I can spy (I can spy). The others may be mighty, But when I get pledged for life I'll be a Pi Phi. IX. SWEETHEART SONG Montana Alpha There's a sweetheart so true to the Wine and the Blue, He's the idol of all my dreams, And the light that lies in his wonderful eyes, Is the lovelight so fair bringing happiness there. When the sun sinks to rest in the flaming West, He appears before my eyes. In my heart is the cry, I'll be true till I die To the sweetheart of Pi Beta Phi. X. PI BETA PHI SYMPHONY Music by Violet Veerkamp, Missouri Gamma Whatsoever things are true, XI. PLEDGE SONG One day I met someone who wore An arrow made of gold; That pin nor what I was told. Chorus: Pi Beta Phi, I've always wanted to pledge my love to I love the things you stand for, your colors wine and And if I live by Pi Phi ideals, an arrow may be mine And now I'm pledged to Pi Phi, My dream really came true, Since Pi Phi, I'm pledged to you. XII. PEARLS OF PI BETA PHI Words by Christine Jones, Vermont Alpha Our own fraternity, Pi Beta Phi, XIII. SERENADE SONG Moon is high, high in the skies We've sung songs of arrows gold, of colors wine and We're loyal to our sisters, and we're proud to sing to But the moon way high, high in the skies, Says, "Go home, you Pi Phis," So we're sayin', "Good-night," sayin', "Sleep tight," Sayin', "We'll come back again another night." We've come to the end, we'll sing you our call, Tra-la-la-la, Tra-la-la-la, XIV. WHY DO I LOVE THE ARROW? Why do I love the arrow ? What does it mean to me ? Pure as is gold are the friendships that its tiny chain All things so true, all things fine, lovely, too, Why do I love two colors, wine red and silver blue? Sisterhood's tie, in our Pi Beta Phi, XV. EVENING SERENADE Air: Juanita Soft through the twilight Fall the notes of Pi Phi song; See the Pi Phi throng. Listen to the songs we sing, Gentle slumbers bring. Chorus: Do you hear our happy song? Of our merry throng. Moonlight above us, Summer winds our steps attend; Only summer friends; Of our friendship pure and true; For the wine and blue. Chorus: Listen to the songs we sing; Gentle slumbers bring. XVI. I MET A MAN SO CHARMING I met a man so charming (as all Pi Phi men are) ; Now one day this man so charming went riding out (Of course he was out riding in his big Pierce-Arrow And while he was out riding there came an awful rain; Now, Pi Phi men so charming, take heed where're Whene'er you go out riding in your big Pierce-Arrow Be sure to seek the arrow which always points Until you reach the Pi Phi house and find your true XVII. THE PI PHI GOAT Air: Solomon Levi The Pi Phi girls have got a goat, He isn't any kid, And eats just what he's bid, To bread and cake and pie, Of our Pi Beta Phi. Chorus: Dear little goatie, tra la la la la la la, Our goat's a loyal Pi Phi, He's trusted and he's true, And he wears the wine and blue; To help the cause along, We sing of him this song. His hair is white and glossy, too, His horns are long and sharp, Like an Aeolian harp. For he's a Pi Phi true, And a bow of wine and blue. XVIII. SMILE!
