Emerald and Maize !

[Verse 1] First week on campus, nervous smile on my face Looking for a place where I might find my space Then I saw those colors shining bright in the sun Emerald and maize, and I knew I'd found my one They welcomed me in with a laugh and a cheer Showing me a sisterhood that grows stronger every year Learning what it means to stand proud and believe In Women Excelling in Agriculture, achieving dreams [Pre-Chorus] Scholarship to guide us Leadership to lead Fellowship beside us Service where there's need [Chorus] Oh, Sigma Alpha, we're growing strong together Through every season, every kind of weather Yellow chrysanthemums blooming by our side Baby bull spirit and a whole lot of pride From rush week dreams to lifelong memories made Hand in hand beneath those emerald and maize shades We're building futures and friendships that'll stay Forever Sigma Alpha, every step of the way [Verse 2] Study groups and projects, helping one another shine Late-night talks and laughter that carry through time Community service with our sleeves rolled high Giving back together underneath Louisiana skies Greek events and family days, everyone around Making memories that echo through the years we've found Banquets filled with stories, celebrating all we've done And every challenge faced together, never just one [Pre-Chorus] Scholarship to guide us Leadership to lead Fellowship beside us Service where there's need [Chorus] Oh, Sigma Alpha, we're growing strong together Through every season, every kind of weather Yellow chrysanthemums blooming by our side Baby bull spirit and a whole lot of pride From rush week dreams to lifelong memories made Hand in hand beneath those emerald and maize shades We're building futures and friendships that'll stay Forever Sigma Alpha, every step of the way [Bridge] Crawfish boil on a warm spring night Music playing underneath the lights Exchanges with the fraternities down the road Alpha Gamma Rho singing loud along the way we go Charter bus rolling to Bourbon Street Dancing and laughing to a New Orleans beat Semi-formals, formals, moments we'll never outgrow The bonds we built are the richest thing we'll ever know [Final Chorus] Oh, Sigma Alpha, we're growing strong together Through every season, every kind of weather Yellow chrysanthemums blooming by our side Baby bull spirit and a whole lot of pride From rush week dreams to lifelong memories made Hand in hand beneath those emerald and maize shades Women excelling, reaching higher every day Forever Sigma Alpha, we'll always find our way [Outro] Scholarship, Leadership Fellowship, Service too Emerald and maize forever Sigma Alpha, here's to you.
