The history of the FSU Warchant as told by the Originators.
Thirty years ago in Palm Beach County young men who lived west of Military Trail were called “cowboys.” Chief among the cowboys for the purpose of our story was one Rob Hill. Its been said each of us will be famous for fifteen minutes. Well, Rob Hill’s exposure to fame only lasted about fifteen seconds but it was a doozy.
On a forgotten football weekend long ago, a camera crew from ABC in search of local color descended on the Theta Chi fraternity house and asked to meet or see evidence of Rob Hill. Little Theta Chi pledges went scurrying through the hallways, camera in tow until they stopped in front of a framed display with small photographs of each Fraternity member.
Out of breath, bursting with pride, the boys pointed to one picture and the cameras focused in. “That’s him!” they said. “That’s Rob Hill, the man who invented the Seminole Warchant!”
Whether Rob Hill was in fact the singularity at the point of the Big Bang is open to speculation, but there’s no question that the three significant players in creating the Seminole Warchant were: the Scalphunters, the Theta Chi Fraternity and the Marching Chiefs.
In mid-January, 2008 there was a long thread on Warchant.Com focused on the origin of the Seminole Warchant. The Chant is now almost twenty-five years old, and the true origins of such things tend to grow indistinct behind clouds of memory. I was pleased to see that many dozens of respondents possess a remarkably accurate picture of how the Warchant began. Individual accounts of a central legend sometimes drift apart from each other, but those on Warchant.Com all stayed pretty much in the same room.
