The Oglethorpe University fight song, “The Stormy Petrel March,” was arranged in 1987 by music professor Dr. Irwin Ray, who retired in 2017.

Learn the lyrics, or just hum along, as the University Singers lead us in a spirited rendition.

Lyrics:

Come on ol’ Oglethorpe
We’re going to take the lead
Our flag will fly on high
And help us now succeed
We’ll wave the Black and Gold
And fight with all our might
Oh! Stormy Petrel! Stormy Petrel!
Fight! Fight! Fight!
