 The Delta Zeta Creed

To the world,

I promise temperance, insight and courage.

To crusade for justice

To seek the truth and defend it always.

To those whom my life may touch in slight measure,

May I give graciously of what is mine.

To my friends, understanding and appreciation.

To those closer ones, a love that is ever steadfast.

To my mind, growth

To myself, faith

That I may walk truly in the light of the flame.
