Phi Kappa Tau, by admitting me to membership, has conferred
upon me a mark of distinction in which I take just pride. I
believe in the spirit of brotherhood for which it stands. I shall
strive to attain its ideals, and by so doing to bring to it honor
and credit. I shall be loyal to my college and my chapter and
shall keep strong my ties to them that I may ever retain the
spirit of youth. I shall be a good and loyal citizen. I shall try
always to discharge the obligation to others which arises from
the fact that I am a fraternity man.
