Rock Chalk Jayhawk is the University of Kansas chant used at sporting events to support and cheer on the Jayhawks. Rock Chalk Jayhawk was conceived in 1886 by the University of Kansas science team. It was originally "Rah Rah Jayhawks" and later changed to Rock Chalk Jayhawk at the suggestion of an English professor giving reference to the chalk rock that is a common mineral in western Kansas. The chant begins slowly with the repeating of ""Rock chalk--Jay-Hawk--KU" twice and then following with three quick repetitions.
