While ‘Hell Week ’is a thing of the past on most college campuses, Hell Week songs live on in the memory of many Lambda brothers. Played more-or-less continuously through work projects and rituals during our week of bonding, these are the songs we still love to hate, the ones that burrowed into our brains—though we still turn the radio up when they come on (if they come on).

Here are some of the Hell Week “Hits” from years gone by (and thanks to all the Brothers who responded to our nostalgic Facebook request). Did we miss yours? Let us know!
