Creed

Justice to each fellow man

Wisdom in each deed and plan

Loyalty to every friend

Faith that sorrow can transcend

Truth to God and truth to self

Honor valued over wealth

This is the creed that in us lies

The creed of loyal Theta Phis

The white rose for its purity

The sapphire blue for loyalty

The compass for its needle sure

That holds our course firm and secure

The silver for a precious faith

That knows no end not even death

This is the creed that in us lies

The creed of loyal Theta Phis

Resolution

New Members, at this meeting, let us keep our visions clear, our values high and our perceptions keen, but above all, let us be charitable as we deliberate.
