I believe in Theta Chi, its traditions
and its ideals. Born of sturdy manhood, nurtured by resolute
men, enobled by high and sacred purpose, it has taken its
place among the educational institutions of America as a promoter
of knowledge, an advancer of culture and a builder of character.
It inspires true friendship: teaches truth, temperence,
and tolerance, extols virtue, exacts harmony, and extends
a helping hand to all who seek it.
I believe in the primacy of Alma Mater: in the usefulness
of my Fraternity, in its influence and its accomplishments
and I shall do all in my power to perpetuate its ideals,
thereby serving my God, my country and my fellow-man.
