It took me a while to resond to this super thread. I wanted think about it a while. Unfortunately, many of yall picked some of the same ones I did.
Mine are: "To honor my home, my country my religious faith..." and "To welcome the oppertunity of the world's work in the community where I am placed because of the joy of service....." I first line I chose because in the US people have the right to choose what ever religion they want to practice and the US is a kind of melting pot for all of us. This is important to me because of my Judiasm. (I know that sounds a little cheesey) But I think it is true.
I chose "To welcome the oppertunity of the world's work..." because doing something for my community satisfiys me and I have done community service before my Alpha Gam days. I chose to do community service in high school because I chose to be in Anchor Club. I also did some service type activities in my temple youth group. In Judiasm we call these types of service activities "mitzvahs" (pronounced mits-vahs). Service activities can include: local (school, town projects) to helping or serving your country (i.e. military etc...) or global like giving to a cause to help Israel. (i.e. United Jewish Appeal, planting a tree in Israel) Or local such as your local Jewish Federation to fund a needy Jewish family. So inconclusion, my two favorite lines I chose seem to go hand in hand with each other. Lisa
