Tau Epsilon Phi
Creed
| |
To live in the light of
friendship...
to judge our fellows not by
their rank not wealth but by
their worth as men,
to hold eternally before us the
memory of those who we have
loved and lost,
to hold forth in the solidarity
of our brotherhood the nobility
of action which will make for
the preservation of our highest
and worthiest aim,
and thus be true to the ideal of
friendship.
To walk in the path of
chivalry...
to be honorable to all men and
defend that honor,
to fulfill our given pledge at
all times,
to be true to the precepts of
knighthood and win the love and
care of the women of our dreams,
and thus be true to the ideal of
chivalry.
To serve for the love of
service...
to give unselfishly that which
we may have to offer,
to do voluntarily that which
must be done,
to revere God and strive in his
worship at all times,
and thus be true to the ideal of
service.
To practice each day friendship,
chivalry, service...
thus keeping true to the these,
the three ideals,
of our fraternity,
this is the Creed of TAU
EPSILON PHI.

The Bridge
Builder
An old man, going a lone
highway,
Came at the evening, cold
and gray,
To a chasm vast and deep and
wide,
Through which was flowing a
sullen tide.
The old man crossed in the
twilight dim,
The sullen stream had no
fear for him
But he turned when safe on
the other side
And built a bridge to span
the tide.
"Old man," said a fellow
pilgrim near,
"You are wasting your
strength with building here.
You journey will end with
the ending day,
You never again will pass
this way.
You've crossed he chasm deep
and wide.
Why build you this bridge at
evening tide?"
The builder lifted his old
gray head--
"Good friend, in the path I
have come," he said,
"There followeth after me
today,
A youth whose feet must pass
this way.
This chasm that has been
naught to me,
To that fair-haired youth
may a pitfall be.
He, too, must cross in the
twilight dim--
Good friend, I am building
this bridge for him."
- WILL ALLEN DROMGOOLE
(1860-1934)
