I Love the Pin The Creed Alpha Delta Pi Blessing Dreams ADPi and Phi Chapter Songs
Barges Someday, Somewhere Pass it On Little ADPi Linger
Sacred Bonds ADPi Pledge SongI love the pin you let me wear
I love the Greek that's written there
I love the violets, flowers of Spring
I love the message that they bring
I love the diamond and clasped hands
I love the best pin in the land
I love to wear your closer to my heart
For I love you, Alpha Delta Pi
I believe in Alpha Delta Pi
I believe that my sorority
Is more than a ritual; more than a Symbol
That it is a way of life
Hear us sing with one accord
Praises for thy gifts, O Lord
For thy gift of daily bread,
For the paths in which we're led
From thy throne of love on high,
List to Alpha Delta Pi
Amen
May all of your dreams bloom like daisies in the sun
And may you always have stars in your eyes
And may you not stop running, not until your race is won
And may you always have blue skies (repeat as chorus)A dream is something you can make to keep within your heart
To build on when you're glad or when your world's been torn apart
A dream is something all your own that no one else can steal
A dream is something you can make come real (chorus)Now you can share a laugh with any stranger you may meet
And you can share your money with a beggar on the street
But you can only share a dream when love has set it free
So please won't you share yours with me(Parts split here)
Altos:
Cause I know there's a place in the sun
Where there's hope for everyone,
Where my poor restless soul's gotta run
And I know there's a place in the sun and before my life is done,
Gonna find me a place in the sunSopranos: Sing Chorus
Everyone at end: And may you always have blue skies.
Barges (This song is special to Phi Chapter as our original house on
campus overlooked the Ohio River, giving a good view of
the barges going by.)Out of my window looking through the night,
I can see the barges flickering light.
Silently flows the water to the sea,
And the barges do go silently.Barges, I would like to go with you,
I would like to sail the ocean blue.
Barges, are there treasures in your hold?
Do you fight with pirates brave and bold?Out of my window looking through the night,
I can see the barges flickering light.
Starboard shines green and port is glowing red,
I can see the barges far ahead.Barges, I would like to go with you,
I would like to sail the ocean blue.
Barges, on the rivers you may roam,
On the rivers you are always at home.
Someday, somewhere,
I knew something beyond compare
Would come my way,
Forever more to stayAnd I know God made it,
And I know He sent it,
And I know He kept it just for me. (repeat as chorus)Its Sisterhood
Was a mystery unknown,
And yet, one day,
I knew I'd find it for my own.(Chorus)
I prayed so long
For Alpha Delta Pi
To be part of me,
Forever till I die.I'm so glad God made it,
I'm so glad He sent it,
I'm so glad it's now a part of me.
It only takes a spark to get a friendship going.
And soon all those around will warm up in its glowing.
That's how it is with ADPi, once you've experienced it.
You want to sing, it's fresh like Spring,
You want to pass it on.What a happy house this is when we are all together.
As Sisters we exist, we live for one another.
That's how it is with ADPi, once you've experienced it.
You want to sing, the love it brings,
You want to pass it on.I wish for you, my friend, this happiness that I've found.
You can depend on us, it matters not where you're bound.
I'll shout it from the mountaintop: I've come to ADPi!
It's given me the love you see,
And now I'll pass it on.
Little ADPi, like a gem you are
I believe you must have been a star
When your heart is ours, sadness there is none
Shining bright as diamonds, ADPi we're one.
Hm-mm-mm-mm I want to linger,
Mm-mm A little longer,
Mm-mm In Alpha Delta Pi with you.Hm-mm-mm-mm It's such a perfect night,
Mm-mm It doesn't seem quite right,
Mm-mm That this should be our last with you.Hm-mm-mm-mm And as the days go by,
Mm-mm We'll think of you and sigh
Mm-mm This is goodnight, and not good-bye.Hm-mm-mm-mm We'll all remember,
Mm-mm Throughout September,
Mm-mm Our ADPi and friendships true.
Sacred bonds of mystic union,
Sealed by frienships' ties,
All our faith we freely pledge thee,
Alpha Delta PiIn the portals of they temple,
Kneeling at the shrine,
We have heard of hidden wisdom,
And it shall be thine.
ADPi Pledge Song (This song is from the 1950s at Hanover)
When I get up each mornin' and I go my way,
I think of all the things I have to do and say.
I have to wear my beanie and my pledge pin
To keep away the devil and resist all sin.'Cause I'm an AD pledge and I don't go out with boys.
I'm an AD pledge and I resist all earthly joys!
I never see the Cabin or the Soda Bowl
'Cause I am always studyin' in my cubbyhole.When nighttime rolls around, I always tell the Lord
That I was nearly perfect yet got no reward.
He tells me to be patient for an active soon I'll be,
And I'll come out of hiding for the boys to see!No more an AD pledge by a campus cutie,
Not an AD pledge, but a HANOVER BEAUTY!
I'll play the field, and I'll have a ball,
And all the boys will get to hear my love call (everyone yells)
