Fight, Fight, Fight for NAU,
Take the ball and follow through,
Lead the Blue and Gold to fame,
As we win another game.

So fight, fight, fight,
With all your might,
For we want a victory tonight.
Alma Mater
Hail Alma Mater
Hail NAU
Thy name forever
A guiding light so true
Strong as the pine trees,
Our love will never fail,
To Thee, Alma Mater,
Hail! Hail! Hail!
Homecoming Dedicatee
In 1936, grateful students of Northern Arizona Normal School dedicated Homecoming to the one and only Mother Hanley, the beloved house of Morton Hall, chaing the day to Hanley Day and founding the tradition of the Homecoming Dedicatee. To become a dedicatee, a faculty or staff member must have been with the university for at least 10 years. The dedicatee is selected by students in campus clubs and organizations; utmost secrecy is maintained until the dedicatee is "tapped" by Chain Gang right before Homecoming. For these special few, being named Homecoming Dedicatee is an unforgettable experience, and for some, the highlight of their NAU career.
Logging Wheels
Intertwining Flagstaff's history as a lumber town with one of NAU's oldest and dearest time-honored traditions, the NAU Logging Wheels have carried the Homecoming King and Queen in nearly every parade since 1934. Donated in 1974 by Sedona's Walter and Dorothy Norman Nelson, '32, the current set of wheels replaced an original set which was donated in 1932 by Joseph C. Dolan of Arizona Lumber & Timber.
The Chop
Before every home football game, NAU Chain Gang members present the copper axe. At this point, a member does the traditional "chop".
