Alma Mater

From humble farm beginnings
Sprung up from sandy earth
Among the tow’ring pine trees
Stands a treasure of great worth.
Her price cannot be measured
In silver or in gold
But in the love and loyalty
That many hearts enfold.

Chorus:

Georgia Southern University.
On Eagles’ wings you soar.
We pledge to you our loyalty
And love for ever more.
