The Creed of Phi Kappa Tau

     Phi Kappa Tau, By admitting me to membership, has conferred upon me a mark of distinction in which I take just pride. I believe in the spirit of brotherhood for which it stands.  I shall strive to attain its ideals, and by so doing to bring to it honor and credit.  I shall be loyal to my college and my chapter and shall keep strong my ties to them that I may ever retain the spirit of youth.  I shall be a good and loyal citizen.  I shall try always to discharge the obligation to others which arises from the fact that I am a fraternity man.
