#1 Favorite quote

"Again, the Beta is distinguishable and distinguished from all other kinds of fraternity men whatsoever by just a little warmer and just a little stronger, just a little tenderer and more enduring 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 into 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 vouch safed 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 our 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."
— Willis O. Robb, Ohio Wesleyan 1879

#2 Favorite Quote:

Red (morgan Freeman's Character) from Shawshank Redemption: "Get busy living, or get busy dying."

or,

Martin luther King(I am paraphrasing here): "In times of great crisis' and injustice, it's not the words of our enemies that we'll remember, it's the silence of our friends."

Damn. Gets me everytime.

I love the Dr. Suess quote. It was the theme for our Rush last year.

Here's my fave quote.

"Some say that friends must always hold hands but true friends don't need to hold hands because they know that the other hand will always be there to help"
I'm not sure who said it, but it reminds me of my Pi Phi sisters!
