ALMA MATER - "HAIL TO UNCP"
Where Carolina's lofty pine trees
Pierce the southern blue,
Proudly stands our Alma Mater
Courageous, strong and true;
Black and gold float on forever
Symbol of loyalty,
Pembroke, our Alma Mater,
Hail to UNCP!
Hail to thee, our Alma Mater;
Guardian of our youth
Ever lead thy children onward
Into light and truth;
Unborn youth will take our places
To praise thee endlessly
Pembroke, our Alma Mater,
Hail to UNCP!
'Neath thy ever verdant pine trees
We rally to thy call,
Ever loyal sons and daughters -
Ambassadors we all -
Bound by ties of love and service
Friendship and loyalty,
Pembroke, our Alma Mater,
Hail to UNCP!
Raise the chorus, blend the voices,
Let the echoes ring
To our loving foster parent
Loudly praises sing;
Swell the chorus 'till it reaches
On through eternity
Pembroke, our Alma Mater,
Hail to UNCP!
