Front Back
#1
1.Get acquainted as quickly as possible with those in my chapter who command genuine admiration and respect. Imitation is the wet nurse of leadership.
#2
2.Look up friends and acquaintances of my home town and preparatory school and go out of my way to speak to them on street and campus. Some snobs are born; many snobs are self-made; most snobs get that way traveling the path of least resistance.
#3
3.Discard old high shool habits; paraphernilia and thought processes not valid for college life. Even a fish evolves in freer waters.
#4
4.At my own volition read and study the history of my fraternity. History is made by those who know history.
#5
5.Do and overdo every chapter task assigned to me. Fraternity row is dotted with ruins caused by too many gold bricks.
#6
6.Show hospitality for all guests. Even skin-deep courtesy finally soaks in.
#7
7.Attend every chapter meeting. Here unfolds the drama of fraternity, and no one act or scene can I afford to miss.
#8
8.Learn to meet and know my professors on a man to man basis. Since the Garden of Eden, apple polishing is in bad repute.
#9
9.Withhold premature judgment on my fellow pledges; but search for every grain of gold in their characters and personalities. Guilt soon shows itself up; gold exists only for those who find it.
#10
10. Write to my parents at least once a week. Loyalty begins at home.
#11
11. Discharge promptly and cheerfully all financial, social, and other obligations incumbent on me as a member of the fraternity. One turn of the top decides if I am a “put” or a “take.” And, what a difference it makes in fraternity success or failure.
#12
12. Go to church regularly. A fraternity ideal can flower into worship or wither by the wayside.
