The Delta Oath

I will strive to reach the highest educational, moral, and spiritual efficiency which I can possibly attain.

Part 1

I will never lower my aims for my temporary benefit which might be gained.

Part 2

I will endeavor to preserve my health for however great ones mental and moral strength may be, physical weakness prevents the accomplishment of much that otherwise might be done.

Part 3

I will close my ears and seal my lips to slanderous gossip.

Part 4

I will labor to enable the ideals and purify the atmosphere of the home.

Part 5

I will always protest against the double standards of morals.

6

I will take an active interest in the welfare of my country, using my influence toward the enactment of laws for the protection of the unfortunate and weak and for the repeal of those depriving humans beings of their privileges and rights

7

I will never belittle any race and will try to persuade others to take the same just stand

8

I will not shrink form undertaking what seems wise and good because handicaps or obstacles of any kind confront me, but striving to preserve a calm mind with a courageous spirit, barring bitterness from my heart.

9

I will strive all the more earnestly to reach the goal
