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.
