[Optimist Prime]

I believe in Theta Chi, its traditions and its ideals. Born of sturdy manhood, nutured by resolute men, enobled by high and sacred purpose, it has taken its place among the educational institutions of america, as a promoter of knowledge, an advacer of culture and a builder of character-----------it inspires true friendship, teaches TRUTH TEMPERANCE AND TOLERANCE extols virtue, exacts harmony and extends a helping hand to all who seek it, i believe in the primacy of alma mater, in the usefullness of my fraternity, in its infulence and its acomplishments and I shall do all my power to perpetuate its ideals, thereby serving my God, my Country, and my Fellow-man
