KSU Alma Mater and Fight Song

THE KENNESAW STATE UNIVERSITY ALMA MATER

Lyrics by Cynthia Parks (KSU1982)

18th Century German Melody “Gaudeamus Igitur” (Let Us rejoice Therefore), Anonymous

Kennesaw, dear Kennesaw,

Nestled in the Georgia pines,

What a special place you hold,

Treasured in this heart of mine.

For the candles you set burning,

Lighting paths of love and learning.

For the gifts you have given me,

Kennesaw, I will cherish thee.

Kennesaw, dear Kennesaw,  

Fairest of the Southland’s fame,

Sons and daughters gathered here,

Stand to praise thy lovely name.

For the friendships that were made here,

For the dreams we dare to dream here,

Kennesaw, we will cherish thee,

Kennesaw, we will cherish thee.

THE KENNESAW STATE UNIVERSITY FIGHT SONG

by James Sochinski (KSU 2012)

We Are The Owls and We Bring The Fight,

All Through the South-land, All Know Our Might!

From the Moun-tain We Bring Spi-rit, Heart, and Vic-to-ry!

Let’s Go Owls!

Our Men and Wo-men Bring Ho-nor and Fame,

Strong in the Class-room, Strong in the Game.

From the Moun-tain We Bring Spi-rit, Kennesaw! It’s On to Vic-to-ry!

Go Owls!

Fight Owls!

K-S-U! K-S-U!

We Are The Owls and We Bring The Fight,

All Through the South-land, All Know Our Might!

From the Moun-tain We Bring Spi-rit, Kennesaw! It’s On to Vic-to-ry!
