Pin Song
Tell me why she wears his pin; Tell me why she's strong for him; Tell me why she is so true; She told me why, now I'll tell you: Because he is a Kappa Bold; Because he is a knight of old; Because he wears the Kappa shield, That is the reason she had to yield. So dance her in a corner, hold her tight like this. Put your arms around her waist, and on her lips a kiss-(if she'll let you). And if she starts to murmur, if she starts to cry; Just tell her it's the sacred seal of Kappa Alpha Psi.
