-====== Ring Out Ahoya ====== 
  
-There's often a lot of debate about what Ring Out Ahoya means.  While the answer may not be completely clear cut, there are a few things that Marquette grads associate with the term. 
- 
-===== The Fight Song ===== 
- 
-First and foremost, Ring Out Ahoya is Marquette's fight song.  The lyrics, which are bit campy, are very easy to learn: 
- 
-(singing) \\ 
-Ring out Ahoya with an M.U.Rah Rah,  \\ 
-M.U.Rah Rah, M.U.Rah Rah Rah Rah Rah \\ 
-Ring out Ahoya with an M.U. Rah, Rah, \\ 
-M.U. Rah Rah for Old Marquette. Rah! Rah! Rah! \\ 
-(chanting) \\ 
-Go! Go! Go! Marquette!\\ 
-Go! Go! Go! Go! \\ 
-Goooooo! Goooooo! Go! Marquette! \\ 
- 
-You can listen to the [[Marquette Band:]] playing the fight song [[http://www.muscoop.com/uploads/RingOutAhoya.mp3|here]]. 
- 
-===== The Origins of "Ahoya" ===== 
- 
-This is the part that's more difficult to answer.  The term "hoya" may come from an Indian word, or Greek and Latin.  However, it does have a deep rooted connection with Catholic Jesuit schools including the Georgetown University Hoyas.  [[http://www.hoyasaxa.com/sports/hoia.htm|HoyaSaxa.com]] has en excellent write-up on the possible origins of this word.
