i found this on the bulletin board of fredonia's chapter
of phi mu alpha sinfonia. i found it extremely noteworthy.
(edited slightly to be less gender-specific)
ten commandments for a fraternity brother
remember that the pin you so proudly wear over your heart
is not merely to show the world that you are a fraternity
brother; but also to remind <you> that you are one.
your fraternity is no more or less than what you make it.
honesty, integrity, courtesy, and fraternity should be
synonymous terms.
it is but an honor and a privilege to be a fraternity
brother. be appreciative by acting the part at all times.
love your fraternity brother more than yourself, and the
one without the pin no less.
do not be a snob because you wear a pin, for good hearts
also beat beneath vests that do not bear pins.
a fraternity can either make or break one's character. it is
up to you which one happens.
put forth your best efforts each day in the classroom, in your
friends, and in the fraternity, and you will reap a plentiful
harvest.
do not join a fraternity with the idea 'whats in it for me?'
rather, challenge yourself with 'how much can i put into it?'
always remember that you are one of many, yet a thousand eyes
are upon you and will judge you and the fraternity by your
deeds, words, and character.
