There are a number of chants shouted throughout CTYI, usually in the opening/closing ceremonies, but also when a big group of students are together in one place
To anyone who's adding a chant:
Please, please, please put your chant in the right section. Most likely, it will be an in-joke. Don't put it in minor, unless a good amount of people chant it
Major
Please don't put any chants here, unless they
- have been here for at least two years
- are responded by almost everyone, if not everyone
- are uttered in both sessions
