When first coming to campus, every Bear learns these iconic lyrics. These songs and chants are used primarily during Welcome Weekend activities, but also whenever the Bears want to be vocal about their Flaherty Spirit!!
Fierce, Fab, Fresh, Fine
F-L-A-H to the E-R-T-Y
Fierce, fab, fresh, fine
We're the greatest of all time
LOUDER & FASTER
F-L-A-H to the E-R-T-Y
Fierce, fab, fresh, fine
We're the greatest of all time
LOUDEST & FASTEST
F-L-A-H to the E-R-T-Y
Fierce, fab, fresh, fine
We're the greatest of all time
*3 quick claps* WHAT?!
Fierce, fab, fresh, fine
We're the greatest of all time

F-L-A-H to the E-R-T-Y
Fierce, fab, fresh, fine
We're the greatest of all time
*3 quick claps* WHAT?!

Fresh Girl of the Flaher
Now this is a story all 'bout how,
My life got flipped, turned upside down,
And I'd like to take a minute, just sit right there,
And we'll tell you 'bout the fierce, fab girls of the Flaher.
In (City, State you're from) born and raised.
Now East Quad is where we'll spend most of our days,
Chillin' out, maxin', relaxin' all cool,
As we finally get to hang out at our dream school.
When I thought of the Dome, I knew life was all good,
NDH, Club Hes all in our neighborhood,
So when I got my acceptance, I jumped in the air,
Cuz I was movin' in soon with the girls of the Flaher.
I called for an uber and when it came near,
The license plate said "fresh" and had dice in the mirror.
If anything I could say that this uber was rare,
But I thought "nah, forget it' - 'Yo, home to the Flaher."
I pulled up to the dorm about 10 or 11,
And I yelled to my parents, "Hey 'rents, is this heaven?"
I looked at my new home,
I was finally there,
To sit on my throne as a girl of the Flaher.

Flaherty Girl
This a number one Flaherty sound,
Yeah we bout to get down,
Who the hottest in the world right now?
Just touched down in South Bend town.
Bet they give me a crown,
Tell them put the flex points in my hand right now,
Tell Sister Mary we need more seats,
We made too many friends in the first week.
Take me on a trip I'd like to go some day,
Take me to North Quad, I'd love to see NDH
I really want to come kick it with you.
We'll be all your Flaherty girls, Flaherty girls.
He said, "Hey sister, it's really really nice to meet you"
I just met this Keenan guy who's just my type.
Like the way he's speakin', his confidence is peakin,
Don't like his gelled-up hair,
But Imma like what's underneath it - HIS BRAIN
And, no, I ain't been to SDH
Or the Rock or Recker's to be fair, South Quad's a real rampage.
First let's see Club Hesburgh, I'll show you to my rector.
You're going to like all of these Flaherty girls, Flaherty girls.

Notre Dame Victory March
Cheer, cheer for old Notre Dame,
Wake up the echoes cheering her name,
Send a volley cheer on high,
Shake down the thunder from the sky.
What though the odds be great or small
Old Notre Dame will win over all,
While her loyal sons are marching
Onward to victory.
Wake up the echoes cheering her name,
Send a volley cheer on high,
Shake down the thunder from the sky.
What though the odds be great or small
Old Notre Dame will win over all,
While her loyal sons are marching
Onward to victory.
Notre Dame, Our Mother (Alma Mater)
Notre Dame, our Mother
Tender, strong, and true
Proudly in thy heavens,
Gleams thy gold and blue.
Glory’s mantle cloaks thee
Golden is they fame,
And our hearts forever,
Praise thee Notre Dame,
And our hearts forever,
Love thee Notre Dame.
Tender, strong, and true
Proudly in thy heavens,
Gleams thy gold and blue.
Glory’s mantle cloaks thee
Golden is they fame,
And our hearts forever,
Praise thee Notre Dame,
And our hearts forever,
Love thee Notre Dame.
