Our CREED I believe that the true spirit of
Fraternalism is a personal devotion to one's
ideals. It has its roots in definite, tangible
things. It springs out of a love of God and
worth of one's fellow man. It grows into qualities
of mind and soul. It is not the attitude toward
a few selected ends, but rather the abiding
spirit in which all things are done, all difficulties
met, all successes received, all obstacles
overcome. "I believe that the true spirit
of Fraternalism is a breath that breathes
itself into the life and being of those who
live it, becoming an unconscious part of them,
ruling and molding their thoughts and acts.
We may call it the right attitude towards
life, towards the world, towards right and
wrong, towards the beautiful and good, towards
duty and faith in God. "I believe that
the true spirit of Fraternalism is a thing
that grows. It is first associated almost
exclusively with a narrow circle of fellow
students, but it broadens with a widening
understanding until it takes in all the important
relationships of life. It enters the domain
of private life as thoroughly as in public
life. It teaches the fulfillment of obligations
to school, state and church. "I believe
that Sigma Tau Gamma endeavors to bind men
together in a fraternal brotherhood based
upon these eternal and immutable truths, which
are set forth in the Principles and in the
Code of Conduct of our Fraternity. "In
this belief, I will endeavor to make my college
and my own chapter of Sigma Tau Gamma more
honored and respected by all men, and will
endeavor to conduct myself so that I will
ever bring credit and honor to our Fraternity."
