Part 1.
My brothers, having been found worthy, you have
had the ceremonies of Initiation conferred upon you, a distinction
which few merit, and an honor to which few attain.
Part 2.
By this act of ours you know yourself to be the special object of our
esteem. By this act of ours you know that our implicit confidence
is placed in you.
Part 3.
You are never to engage in anything that would
prove derogatory to your character as a high-minded man and a
gentleman. Let your conduct at all times be an evidence to the
world of the noble purposes and designs of this Fraternity. Let your
motives be pure and honest, and in your intercourse with others let
your deportment be genteel and affable, being ever mindful of what
you speak, to whom, when, and where.
Part 4.
In a word, let your life be
an exemplary one; by so doing you will not only identify yourself
with respectable society, but you will advance the interests of the
Fraternity of which you now have the honor of being a member.
Part 5.
Our brothers, who are found in all parts of the world-North,
South, East, and West-and on whose breasts glitters in its purity,
the emblem or our Fraternity, will always receive you with welcome
hands and warm hearts, and stand ever ready to assist you in
time of need.
Part 6.
Henceforth you are bound to us by the most sacred
ties of friendship and love. In weal or in woe, in sickness or health,
in poverty or wealth, through youth, manhood, and old age, you are
indissolubly linked to us by that firm chain, the links of which can
only be broken by the angel of death.
Part 7.
Your joys, your sorrows, your
afflictions, have all become ours. When the dark clouds of adversity
gather around you and your heart is sore, your faith weak, and
your courage well-nigh gone, forget not that there are strong arms
around you, true hearts upon which to rest, and tender sympathies
from which to draw consolation for the past, comfort for the present,
and hope for the future.
Part 8.
Remember, too, that the bond is reciprocal. To you we have committed
the care of our reputation, and our honor is in your keeping.
The stain of dishonor will blacken not your character alone, but
will also rest upon us.
Part 9.
Think no thought, utter no word, do no deed,
which will, through you, cause the name of Sigma Chi to be dishonored.
Strive ever to conform to that standard of manhood which
is noblest and best.
Part 10.
Cherish within your heart the love of those
principles which control and direct the actions of all truly honorable
men, keeping ever before you the obligations which you have
voluntarily taken upon yourself.
Part 11.
Let your whole life be such that
when you go down to the dark river of death and its chill water
dampens your feet, you may be able to say, looking back over your
past life
Part 12.
I have fought the good fight; I have finished my work; The
White Cross of Sigma Chi has gained new luster by my life
Part 13.
Bidding you Godspeed, my brothers, I greet you forever in the
sacred bonds of Sigma Chi.
