Only thing I ever knew was my hs fight song. Which might not have been official, but it began "Roll on Trojans..." so....yeah.
Giles, if you would like to get by in American society, then you are going to have to follow our traditions. You're the patriarch. You have to host the festivities, or it's all meaningless.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Punishingly Intricate
I have no idea of my college had an alma mater. But my high school one? I know and can still sing toay:

Ursuline to you are turning
loyal hearts with love alight
while beside the lamp of learning
shines our colors--red and white
It goes on for a while after that and into ranges that, really, only dogs can hear.

I always thought alma mater meant the school you graduated from.
It means that, too.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
It means that, too.
That makes no sense. I vote against that.

All the alma mater talk earwormed me on that somehow, but it's not a bad earworm to have.

That's one of my favorite Steely Dan songs! It's one my Sam and Dean playlist.
