FRATERNITY SONG "BROTHERS OF THE GOLDEN HEART"
BROTHERS OF THE GOLDEN HEART,
MAY WE NEVER, NEVER PART.
LET US DRINK AND LET US BOAST,
TO OUR FRIENDSHIP RAISE A TOAST.
RAISE OUR GLASSES TO THE SKY,
WE'LL BE SIG EPS 'TIL WE DIE,
BROTHERS OF THE GOLDEN HEART,
BROTHERS OF THE GOLDEN HEART.
Submitter comment:
THIS SONG SHOWS THE LOYALTY AND LOVE THE BROTHERS HAVE FOR THE
FRATERNITY. IT RAISES A TOAST TO THE BROTHERHOOD. ALSO
EXPRESSED IN THE SONG IS THE FACT THAT THE BROTHERS WILL
"NEVER, NEVER, PART." THIS IMPLIES THAT THE BROTHERS WILL
KEEP IN CLOSE CONTACT THROUGHOUT THEIR LIVES.

FRATERNITY SONG "HAIL FRATERNITY"
HAIL FRATERNITY,
WE'LL EVER SING OUR PRAISE TO THEE,
WE LOVE THY COLORS TRUE,
WE LOVE THY BROTHERS TOO,
YOU'RE THE EMBLEM OF SINCERITY.
HAIL FRATERNITY,
WE ARE PROUD OF YOUR FAME,
MAY THERE NEVER BE A STAIN,
AGAINST THY DEAR OLD NAME,
SIGMA PHI EPSILON! HEY!
Submitter comment:
SIMILAR TO THE OTHER SONGS, LOVE AND LOYALTY TO THE
BROTHERHOOD IS EXEMPLIFIED HERE. THE SONG IS SUNG WITH
A FAST MELODY, USUALLY SUNG AT NATIONAL MEETINGS. IT
IS RECOGNIZED THROUGHOUT THE NATION AS ONE OF THE
MOST PRIZED SONGS IN SIGMA PHI EPSILON.
I FIRST HEARD THIS SONG AT BOWLING GREEN STATE
UNIVERSITY, IN FEBRUARY, 1978, AT THE SIGMA
PHI EPSILON NATIONAL MEETING.

STAND HIM IN THE CORNER
STAND HIM IN THE CORNER AND HOLD HIM TIGHT LIKE THIS,
PUT YOUR ARMS AROUND HIS NECK AND ON HIS LIPS A KISS,
'CAUSE HE LOVES ME,
AND IF HE STARTS TO MURMUR AND IF HE STARTS TO SHY,
JUST TELL HIM IT'S THE SACRED SEAL OF OUR DEAR SIGMA-TRI.
SO I STOOD HIM IN THE CORNER AND HELD HIM TIGHT LIKE THIS,
I PUT MY ARMS AROUND HIS NECK AND ON HIS LIPS A KISS,
'CAUSE HE LET ME,
THEN HE STARTED TO MURMUR AND THEN HE STARTED TO SHY,
AND NOW WE HAVE A LEGACY TO OUR DEAR SIGMA-TRI.

Song:
I gave my love a cherry that had no stone.
I gave my love a chicken that had no bone.
I gave my love a ring that had no end.
I gave my love a baby with no crying.
How can there be a cherry that has no stone?
How can there be a chicken that has no bone?
How can there be a ring that has no end?
How can there be a baby with no crying?
A cherry when it's bloomin', has no stone.
A chicken when it's pippin', it has no bone.
A ring when it's rollin', it has no end.
A baby when it's sleeping, has no crying.

If you don't love me, love whom you please;
Throw your arms round me,

Give my heart ease, dear, give my heart ease.
Throw your arms around me, give my heart ease.
