Ok...i totally yanked this off of

cyberjunkie's journal...

Here's to Alpha Phi Omega,

  Loyal includees we,

True to self and each other,

  Firm in loyalty.

Daily working,

daily striving,

  Ever more to be,

Men of

Wait, wait... I'm definitely not a "man" either. Can we say "Gender neutral participants"?

OK...

Gender neutral participants of Alpha Phi Omega,

  Our fraternity.

Uh, oh... I've never liked the term "fraternity"...

it has such negative connotations. Can't we just be a "nonaffiliated, non-Greek

student organization?"

Gender neutral participants of Alpha Phi Omega,

  Our nonaffiliated, non-Greek student organization.

(Brothers start to cross arms to clasp hands)

Um, I'm not comfortable holding hands with people.

Why don't we just touch "auras?"

(Now standing with hands almost touching, feeling neighbors' auras)

Includees clasp the hands of includees,

  Strong the circle

Now does anyone really think that this is a "circle?" It's really more of a "nonspecific geometric shape."

Includees clasp the hands of includees,

  Strong the nonspecific geometric shape we,

Ever mindful, ever serving

  All humanity.

Nope... not "humanity". How 'bout "universality?"

Ever mindful, ever serving

  All universality.

Now we raise our grateful voices

  In our song to thee...

Stop! Not everyone believes in a "god"... can

we say "nondenominational supreme being or power that may or may not exist?"

Now we raise our grateful voices

  In our song to thee... nondenominational supreme

being or power that may or may not exist,

Gender neutral participants of Alpha Phi Omega

  May we always be.

OK, let's do it one more time to make sure we've got

it.
