(After all these years I have the Alpha Gamma Delta Purpose more firmly memorized than the P.E.O. Objects and Aims! Phrases from the first sometimes slip in when I recite the other. I was in Beta Sigma Phi for a couple of years and still remember parts of that creed, too.)

Here's the O&A, and an editorial from a former president expanding on it.

http://www.peointernational.org/reco.../pres-desk.php

The objects and aims of this Sisterhood shall be general improvement which shall comprehend more especially the following points:
To seek growth in charity toward all with whom we associate and a just comprehension of and adherence to the qualities of faith, love, purity, justice, and truth.
To seek growth in knowledge and in culture and to obtain all possible wisdom from nature, art, books, study, and society.
To radiate all light possible by conversation, by writing, and by the right exercise of any talent we possess.
To aim at self-control, equipoise and symmetry of character and temperance in opinions, speech and habits
It shall be the chief duty of each member to consider thoughtfully the full import of P.E.O. This will include a sincere regard for our influence in the community, a careful consideration of feeling when speaking, and a determination to do all we can at all times and under all circumstances to express a loving concern for each sister.
