Dedicated to the many brothers who compose and arrange the music of the fraternity. Their talents enrich our lives.

Dear Beta Brothers:

Welcome to the 27th Edition of The Songs o f Beta Theta Pi. There are a few changes since the 26th Edition, the most exciting of which is the inclusion of a new Beta Song "Wooglin Gives Us the Reason Why" by Jason Warnke, S. Florida '96. Jason and the Beta Chorus performed this new song at the 1994 and 1995 Conventions to standing ovations. Our Fraternity is fortunate to have so many great, wonderful and beautiful songs. We are the beneficiaries of the outpouring of notes, words and emotions of those who have gone before us. The blending of voices and minds in song is the most fraternal o f activities. A singing chapter is always a good chapter! I have met many of my best friends through singing. My first chorus experience was the Beta chorus at Alpha chapter. My first quartet experience was with the Alpha quartet. My best memories of fraternity life involve singing. Singing nourishes the spirit.

Things you should know about the Beta music program are: 1. All songs in the songbook are in four-part harmony, the perfect style for a male singing group. The four parts are: Tenor, the top most notes on the top line Lead, the lower notes on the top line, which in all cases is the melody line. Baritone, the top most notes on the bottom line Bass, the lower notes on the bottom line 2. There are four learning tapes, one for each part, to assist in learning the songs. 3. All songs are general Fraternity songs, with the exception of For the Staunchest. 4. All indexes show the "key" and "first note" for ease in establishing pitch. 5. The pace is shown in beats per minute.

Again Stephen B. Becker, Florida '69 was instrumental in the production of this songbook. We all thank him most sincerely for his many contributions to our fraternity. In this book we have preserved the past, added a new song from the present, and built a platform for future editors. Take these songs; learn them, sing them and teach them to the next generation of Betas. Come brothers swell the Beta chorus.

Yours in kai
