My alma mater is in Greek. That means I win, right?
Sophia philae paromen
philokaloumen
met'eutelias
philosophoumen...
The words are adapted from Pericles' funeral oration.
Our fight song is in Greek, too.
You're right. He's evil. But you should see him naked. I mean really!

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
Calli, you forgot the best part!
Rah rah, Carolina-lina, rah rah, Carolina-lina, rah rah Carolina-lina, GO TO HELL STATE!!
The Alma mater starts with "Hark the sound of Tar Heel voices, ringing clear and true" but that's all I remember.

The only song I can associate with my alma mater is "Muddy Water" by the Standells, because the dorm specified in the song is supposedly the one I lived in Junior year.

Eureka! I think otaheite apples are the fruit I fell in love with when we went to Jamaica when I was about 14. Boys were selling them by the side of the road and I kept getting my father to stop so I could have another one.
From memory:
On the city's western border
Reared against the sky
Proudly stands our alma mater
As the years roll by.
Forward ever be our watchword.
Conquer and prevail!
Hail to thee, our alma mater
Vanderbilt all hail!
Of course, it's no longer on the city's western border, but it was in 1873.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Happy birthday, MM!
I would have thought I knew my alma mater, but no. It is none of the regularly-sung songs.

You Americans have weird traditions. My school had no song. (If it did, it would have been some plainsong Latin thing -lots of High Anglican wooo going on there.)

"already on the kiss-cam with Karl Marx"-
No idea. And ASU is so rah-rah and Mike Love that that must have taken some conscious screening. I can say that "Community" is more accurate than one might think possible, so: Go Human Beings!
