Going Back to the Original Post

Right now I don't have the Creed posted anywhere in my office at home. This fact surprised me when I read your original post. Back in the mid-1960s, when I was an Active, it really was not emphasized by my Zeta. But, I think that over the past 20 years or so it has become very important to our Zeta members. I don't think I ever memorized it, but many of the younger guys, say 40 years and under, know it by heart. So, I will have to do something about my oversight.

Also, I believe that the Creed needs a good review and a "make-over" to make it easier to read, understand, and memorize. Nothing radical needs to be done, just a good edit. As I have mentioned before, I think the creed was "lifted" from another important document in bits and pieces with little attention to the readabilty and flow of the text. I hope someone at IHQ can do this revision someday and get the proper approvals to issue a new version of the Creed. Any thoughts on that idea....

Yours in ZAX,

Mike Raymond, Zeta-Upsilon Zeta
