ALMA MATER

Sing praise to Alma Mater dear,For V.P.I. we’ll ever cheer;

Come lift your voices, swell the song,Our loyalties to her belong.

ChorUs

So stand and sing all hail to thee.VT, all hail to thee.

The Orange and Maroon you see,That’s fighting on to victory;

Our strife will not be long this day,For our glory lies within this fray.

All loyal sons and daughters, one,We raise our banner to the sun;Our motto brings a spirit true,

That we may ever serve for you.
