Forgot to post my own...
My first quote can be seen in my signature at the end of this post so look at that...
the other one is like this
Again, the Beta is distinguishable and distinguished from all other kinds of fraternity men whatsoever by just a little warmer and stronger, just a little tenderer and more eduring fraternity feeling than any of them can attain to. For it was always so.
I do not in the least know how it happened nor why it persisted after it happened, but a long time ago there came in to Beta Theta Pi a fraternity spirit that was, and is, and apparently will continue to be, unique. We know it, who are inside and they see and record it who are outside the Beta pale.
Whether young or old, in college or out, from the small school or the great university, we are conscious of a heritage of genuine fraternalism that has not been vouchsafed in like measure --I say it deliberately -- to any other of the great college fraternities.
And we cannot doubt that in this, as in other respects, our 'future will copy fair the past,' and that in the world of fifty years from now, as in that of years ago -- as in that that lies around us today -- the first mark of a Beta will be his Beta Spirit
