LEGACY OF THETA

 

THE LEGACY OF THETA

Now I'm an Alphaman, proud to wear my pin

Make no mistake the House of Alpha is why I wear a grin

But here in Illinois in February of 1910

The House was built by THETA that's why cordiality exists within

 

Alpha is the Brotherhood that brings us all around

But THETA is our home, our love, our manhood training ground

The bootcamp of brotherhood, the love for all mankind

Yes, I'm my brother's keeper, that's the THETA state of mind

 

We're the Thrillers of Manila, the Eighth Wonder we have been called

THETA's arms are stretched out waiting, holding an umbrella for us all

Brothers, just stop and listen, THETA welcomes you with a song

Like a 113-year-old grandmother 'Baby, where have you been so long?'

 

As we celebrate our 113 years, our hearts all filled with pride

Just remember what you learned from her and lock it deep inside

"THETA's in my heart, sir!!", as recollection weaves its spell

113 years of memories, with stories yet to tell

 

So open up your hearts and let the knowledge flow

The future of THETA depends on it, our brothers need to know

College days swiftly pass, life's hurdles clearly in view

But you know how to handle them 'cause THETA's deep in you

 

One more thing before I leave

For every brother with THETA on his sleeve

Ask yourself, honestly,

"What type of legacy will I leave?"

 

Alpha is the Brotherhood that brings us all around

But THETA is our home, our love, our manhood training ground

The bootcamp of brotherhood, the love for all mankind

Yes, I'm my brother's keeper, that's the THETA state of Mind
