Credo
Since the Beginning, wherever men have come
together, there have I been. My membership is legion.
From the humble home and from the stately mansion;
from the rolling farms and from the noisy factories;
from the East and West and North and South
have my followers come.
They who understand my meaning have followed
in the footsteps of the Man of Galilee. In
peace, they have been their brother’s keeper,
and in the agony of war, their blood has enriched
the Fields of Flanders and reddened
the sands of the Pacific.
Their reward has been the Inspiration of
their Youth;the Driving Power of their Manhood;
the Memories of their Maturity. They
have fought the good Fight and these, my
sons, I am justly proud.
Who am I? My name is FRATERNITY.
And because I have given Man that which
he craves, I shall endure. My sons shall neither
falter nor fail. They shall add new lustre to my name.
