1) Come gather ye men of the purple and gold, Men of old SAE. We'll sing of the deeds that are gallant and bold, Sing of old SAE.
2) Let every good fellow now join in a song
Men of old SAE. Success to each other, and pass it along, Sing of old SAE.
3) Come all you good fellows and join in with me,
Men of old SAE. And raise up your voices in close harmony, Sing of old SAE.
4) Should time or occasion compel us to part,
Men of old SAE These days shall forever enlighten the heart, Sing of old SAE.
Chorus: Sing of Minerva! Sing of the lion! Sing of the men who are loyal and fine; Friends that will last, future and past, Sing of old SAE. COME SING TO SIGMA ALPHA EPSILON Come sing to Sigma Alpha Epsilon, And to Minerva who will lead us on, And to Phi Alpha with its guiding light, And to the lion who will fight, fight, fight. And when in years to come we’ll tell our sons About the very best fraternity, We’ll sing of Sigma Alpha Epsilon, swing along,

With S-A-E. COME SING TO SIGMA ALPHA EPSILON (medley with “Marching”) Come sing to Sigma Alpha Epsilon, And to Minerva who will lead us on, And to Phi Alpha with its guiding light, And to the lion who will fight, fight, fight, And when in years to come we’ll tell our sons About the very best fraternity. We’ll sing of Sigma Alpha Epsilon, swing along, With S-A-E. Hail to the purple, hail to the gold, Hail to Phi Alpha, motto of old. Minerva true, the lion too, We’re loyal sons of S-A-E. We’re marching one by one To Sigma Alpha Epsilon. Honor, loyally, her name as we go marching on. Ever shall we stand, as brothers in our mighty band. Phi Alpha, hail to thee, And sing to dear old SAE. Phi Alpha! FRIENDS (verse and chorus) The chairs all are empty; The last guest has gone. The candles burn lower and lower And sputter on and on. But after the last guest’s departed, Haunting the smoke laden air, There remaineth a lingering presence, The ghost of good fellowship rare. Chorus: Friends, friends, friends You and I will be, Whether in fair or in dark stormy weather, We’ll stand or we’ll fall together For SAE, We will always be, Our bond celebrating till death separating Old pals from me. FRIENDS (chorus only) Friends, friends, friends
60
You and I will be, Whether in fair or in dark stormy weather, We’ll stand or we’ll fall together For SAE, We will always be, Our bond celebrating till death separating Old pals from me. HAIL TO THE PURPLE, HAIL TO THE GOLD Hail to the Purple, Hail to the Gold! Hail to Phi Alpha, motto of old! Hail success, Fraternity, in years yet to come! Hail Sigma Alpha … Epsilon. HEIGH HO Heigh, ho, anybody home? We are the men of SAE We have come to serenade you... (repeats in rounds) HER LOVELINESS Her loveliness, her tenderness have stolen all my dreams. The sight of her will always bring a thrill. The magic in her voice is like a melody it seems. I love her now, I know I always will. The sweet perfume of violets, the moonlight in her hair, With happiness around her ev’rywhere, And from the start she won the heart of my Fraternity. She wears the pin of SAE. HERE’S TO SIGMA ALPHA EPSILON Here’s to Sigma Alpha Epsilon, And to the royal purple and the gold, And to all the brothers strong and true, Who are gathered in the, gathered in the fold. Here’s to Minerva, mother of us all. May we e’er be faithful to her call. May the violet ever fragrant be, SAE, our beloved Fraternity. JUST AS THE VIOLETS GROW Where did our love have its beginning? How did I chance to make you mine? Our lives did cross and come together, Just as the violets grow. Just as the lovely violets grow.
61
Wear my pin now as love’s true symbol, Proof that thru love our hearts did bond. We’ll share one path of life forever, Just as the violets, violets grow. Just as the violets, violets grow. MY FRATERNITY My Fraternity, dear old SAE, It’s the grandest one of old. Friends so dear to me In my Fraternity Of the purple and the gold. It’s where good fellows meet, Old friends they greet, And through years their friendships deepen. My Fraternity, my Fraternity, It’s dear old SAE. PHI ALPHA BORN I’m Phi Alpha born, And I’m Phi Alpha bred, And when I die, I’ll be…Phi Alpha dead, So rah, rah, Phi Alpha, Alpha, Rah, rah, Phi Alpha, Alpha, Rah, rah, Phi Alpha, S-A-E!

Each flower may bring a dream to you As one flower does to me. A dream of friendship firm and strong, In my fraternity. Chorus: Violet, Violet You’re the fairest flower to me. Violet, Violet Emblem of fraternity. With your perfume memories come Of Sigma Alpha Epsilon. Dearest flower beneath the sun, My Violet. YOURS IN THE BONDS I am yours in the bonds of old SAE.
