Don't know the tune to the NU Alma Mater? Can't remember the words to All Hail, our fight song?
Listen to both songs here, as sung by Northeastern's own a cappella group, The Downbeats.

Song Lyrics
Alma Mater Oh, Alma Mater here we throng And sing your praises strong. Your children gather far and near And seek your blessings dear. Fair memories we cherish now And will forever more. Come, let us raise our voices strong. Northeastern we adore.
All Hail Northeastern Mark the loyal host of Northeastern Hark the sound of our refrain Praise the glory of our Alma Mater May we guard her from all stain In whatever field the battle wages Where our joys and hopes are high It's the Red and Black that flies foremost, Defiant in the sky
All Hail, Northeastern, We sing in jubilee, All Hail, Northeastern, March proudly, ever free; All Hail, Northeastern, We give salute to thee, Through the years, We ever will acclaim Thy glorious destiny.
The Downbeats
Since 2000, The Downbeats have been entertaining the NU community with their a cappella performances. On special request, they have recorded Alma Mater and All Hail for our enjoyment.
