Jubilate, Song of Phi Gamma Delta
by Phillip E. Lyon (Ohio Wesleyan 1916) about 1928
Hail, sons of destiny!
Sing a song of praise all glorious,
Proclaim it proudly,
Shout it loudly,
Magnify thy name!
Hail to thy gleaming star,
With its purple light victorious;
Undying fame attend thy name,
Thy rule shall ever be courageous.
Sons of mighty men shall know forever and for aye.
Phi Gamma Delta, Hail to thee,
All hail and evermore for thee
We'll swear eternal victory,
Phi Gamma Delta, Hail!
,Fraternity Songs
Fraternity songs have been around as long as fraternities themselves. Phi Gamma Delta printed its first of over eight songbooks in 1886, and produced at least three official albums. Individuals and chapters also made albums and tapes. The first official record was recorded in 1922. A record was reportedly produced in the 1930s (we have no copy of it), and a third came in 1947, consisting of two records with ten songs sung by the Fraternity Glee Club. The most recent album was recorded in 1960 and is available today on a remastered CD.
The Songs of Phi Gamma Delta (1960)
Recorded June 1960 at RCA Studios, New York City. Produced by Richard Maltby (Northwestern 1936). The seventeen-voice male chorus was organized and supervised by Michael Stewart, conducted by James Leyden. Song arrangements by Maltby and Leyden. Hummel Fishburn (Penn State 1922) consulted.
