school song

Campus pride melody

A school song is an anthem associated with a particular school, college, or university, typically sung at athletic events, graduations, and reunions.

Most institutions have one, ranging from stately alma mater hymns to rowdy fight songs meant to rally crowds: The band struck up the school song after the touchdown.

Students often learn theirs during orientation.
