I Must Be Psycho

About a year ago I switched up my CC signature to "Loyal Strong True" because I thought it would be awesome.



Well, looks like the PR guys have followed my lead. Looks pretty good too w/ KVN.

Yeah, those marketing guys check out the site to stay on top of what the fans are talking about! ;)

Often times, a marketing event happens in reaction to the previous leader or in this case team leaders campaign. This is awesome! And in stark contrast to the outgoing leaderships mantra of Self, Facade, and grit.

Whatever happened to "Stalwart, brave and true"? Why the change?

The change happened a long time ago - I'm not sure when. My parents learned - and taught me - "Stalwart brave and true". But when I got to BYU it was loyal. I think I still sing stalwart though.

Stalwart is one of those words that used to be commonly used, but is not often heard these days. Maybe that's a factor.

According to Wikipedia: The lyrics, as sung at BYU events, were altered from the original version sometime in the 1990s due to pressure from women's groups on BYU campus. The lyric "stalwart men and true" was changed to "Loyal, strong, and true."

I learned the words as "Stalwart men and true" and didn't even know about the change. Given that BYU excels in women's sports (like Volleyball and Soccer), I don't have any problem with the change. I'm just surprised I hadn't noticed.
