What is Hotty Toddy?

Hotty Toddy is the official Ole Miss rallying cry and signature greeting. The chant's earliest documented printed form appeared as "Heighty! Tighty!" in a November 19, 1926 edition of the student newspaper, The Mississippian.

This is Hotty Toddy

It's our cheer, but it's so much more. It's defined by moments of absolute joy. It's an exchange between kindred spirits. It's a response to a conquered challenge. It's your first day on campus. It's your last day. It's every time you return. It's an emotion felt only by those who've walked the hallowed grounds of the Grove. Yes, Hotty Toddy is our cheer, but it's so much more.

Are you ready?
Hell yeah! Damn right!
Hotty Toddy, Gosh almighty,
Who the hell are we? Hey!
Flim flam, bim bam,
Ole Miss by damn!
