I
believe that Phi Kappa Psi is a brotherhood of honorable
men, courteous and cultured, who pledge throughout
their
lives to be generous, compassionate, and loyal comrades;
I
believe that I am honor bound to strive manfully for
intellectual, moral, and spiritual excellence; to
help and
forgive my Brothers; to discharge proptly all just
debts; to
give aid and sympathy to all who are less fortunate;
I
believe that I am honor bound to strengthen my character
and deepen my integrity; to counsel and guide my Brothers
who stray from their obligations; to respect and emulate
my
Brothers who practice moderation in their manners
and
morals; to be ever mindful that loyalty to my Fraternity
should not weaken loyalty to my college, but rather
increase devotion to it, to my country, and to my
God;
I believe
that to all I meet, wherever I go, I represent not only
Phi Kappa Psi, but indeed the spirit of all fraternities;
thus I
must ever conduct myself so as to bring respect and
honor
not to myself alone, but also to my Fraternity;
To
the fulfillment of these beliefs, of these ideals, in the
noble perfection of Phi Kappa Psi, I pledge my life
and my sacred honor.
