OU Chant

Written in 1936 by faculty member Jessie Lone Clarkson Gilkey, fans, current students, players, and all OU alumni are encouraged to stand and raise one finger during the playing of the Chant to show unity. 

O-K-L-A-H-O-M-A
Our chant rolls on and on!
Thousands strong
Join heart and song
In alma mater's praise
Of campus beautiful by day and night
Of colors proudly gleaming Red and White
'Neath a western sky
OU's chant will never die.
Live on University!
