Sing the Fraternal Hymn of Alpha Sigma Tau. 

Life’s gray shadows may creep o’er us,
Sad our hearts and old,
But with thee our fond tho’t lingers,
Emerald and gold!
Dear old Alpha Sigma Tau,
Glory be to thee,
May we ever live to honor
Thy dear memory.

Tho’ our lot be high or lowly,
Be it weal or woe,
Bound by ties that naught can sever,
We will onward go!
Dear old Alpha Sigma Tau,
Tho’ we’re far from thee,
Still our hearts beat warm and true to,
Thy dear memory.
