To realize that within our grasp, in Zeta Tau Alpha, lies the
opportunity to learn those things which will ever enrich and ennoble
our lives; to be true to ourselves, to those within and without our
circle; to think in terms of all mankind and our service in the world;
to be steadfast, strong, and clean of heart and mind, remembering that
since the thought is father to the deed, only that which we would have
manifested in our experience should be entertained in thought; to find
satisfaction in being, rather than seeming, thus strengthening in us
the higher qualities of the spirit; to prepare for service and learn
the nobility of serving, thereby earning the right to be served; to seek
understanding that we might gain true wisdom; to look for the good in
everyone; to see beauty, with its enriching influence; to be humble
in success, and without bitterness in defeat; to have the welfare and
harmony of the Fraternity at heart, striving ever to make our lives a
symphony of high ideals, devotion to the right, the good, and the true,
without a discordant note; remembering always that the foundation
precept of Zeta Tau Alpha was love, "the greatest of all things."
