Just a Little Something For Everyone
 
THE GREEK THAT'S WRITTEN THERE

It makes little difference
The size of your pin
Whether it's large or small,
And if it's plain
Or brilliant with jewels
Is of no concern at all,
But the vows that you took
Along with your pin,
Have you worn them constantly,
Quietly, deep in the heart
Where no one looks to see?
Have you touched the stars
You reached for once
In your own small
piece of sky?
Have you striven for the honorable,
The beautiful,
and the high?
What difference then
The shape of the badge,
Be it
Diamond or quill or square
The important thing is
How much do you love
The pin you chose to wear?

I had this framed on my wall in college. I think it's so true. I need to dig through my boxes to find it again, since I haven't unpacked at all since moving home :)

That is a great poem! I think I may include it on the Panhellenic site I'm working on now for my job as Panhellenic Public Relations! I love it!

This part reminds me of Kappa Delta's open motto! :)
