Learning to Love St. Olaf

because we are at St. Olaf

because Northfield is quirky

because we smell Malt-o-Meal

because we live on the Hill

because it is a community

because we are not at Carlton

we keep are rivalry strong

as we chant Um Ya Ya

because we never settle for “just ok”

we study 24/7

and we choose tea over coffee

because it has something for everyone

because you have been asked if you have seen the Snitch

because there was an activities’ fair

because we get too many emails from different organizations

because we are freshmen

because we want to find ourselves

because we have set high goals

because we strive for the future

because we are here

because we are Oles
