S Y M P H O N Y
To live constantly above snobbery of word or deed;
to place scholarship before social obligations and character before appearances;
to be in the best sense, democratic rather than "exclusive," and lovable rather than "popular;"
to work earnestly, to speak kindly, to act sincerely, to choose thoughtfully that course which occasion and conscience demand;
to be womanly always;
to be discouraged never;
in a word, to be loyal under any and all circumstances to my Fraternity and her highest teachings and to have her welfare ever at heart that she may be a symphony of high purpose and helpfulness in which there is no discordant note.
Written by Ethel Switzer Howard, Xi Chapter, 1904
