FRATERNITY SONG "RUM, RUM"

RUM, RUM, THE FOOTSTEPS COMING,
BEAT LIKE THE SOUNDS OF DRUMMING,
BEAT FOR OUR VOICES HUMMING,
SIG EPS ARE WE.
WE MARCH THE ROAD TOGETHER,
AND WE WILL SING FOREVER,
THIS BOND WILL NEVER SEVER,
SIG EPS ARE WE.
MIGHTY WE'LL ALWAYS BE,
A BROTHERHOOD OF UNITY,
GLORY TO THE GOLDEN HEART OF OUR FRATERNITY.
TO SIGMA, OUR HEARTS ARE CLINGING,
PHI, THROUGH THE AIR GOES RINGING,
EPSILON, WE'LL KEEP ON SINGING,
SIG EPS ARE WE.

Submitter comment: AGAIN, THIS SONG IS SUNG AT PARTIES. THIS SONG SIGNIFIES THE
LOVE A PERSON HAS FOR HIS FRATERNITY. HIS PRIDE AND JOY
FOR THE FRATERNITY IS EXEMPLIFIED BY THIS SONG.
IT IS SUNG WITH A FAST BEAT.
