Our
Creed
--By Dr Edward H. McCune,
Founder and Past President
"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 maind 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 recieved, 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 beautifal and good,
towards duty and the 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 set 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."
