Title: “My ATO Girl”

Semester/Year: November 15, 1972

My ATO Girl, how I love you,

You are the sweetest girl to wear the Gold and Blue,

Come, sweetheart, tell me now is the time

Won’t you wear my pin,

To show that you are mine.

Context:

This is a song that was used by the Alpha Tau Omega Fraternity to serenade sororities in order to get them to be their pair for events. The song is an invitation by a fraternity to a sorority. This song is an example of fraternity’s culture to seek out sororities as a tradition. This tradition has continued today between fraternities and sororities.
