To
live constantly above snobbery of word or deed;
to place scholarship before social obligations
and character before appearances;
to be in the best sense democratic rather than "exclusive",
and lovable rather than "popular";
to work earnestly, to speak kindly,to act sincerely,
to choose thoughtfully that course which
occasion and conscience demand;
to be womanly always; to be discouraged never;
in a word, to be loyal under any and all circumstances
to my fraternity and her highest teachings and
to have her welfare ever at heart
that she may be a symphony of high purpose and helpfulness
in which there is no discordant note.
