We, the members of Zeta Beta Tau fraternity, believe that the development of
the individual as a responsible, mature member of society is the primary goal
of the university today.
We believe that fraternity offers to the university community a unique, desirable
and successful means of achieving this goal.
In fulfilling the purposes of fraternity, we dedicate ourselves to the principles
of:
INTELLECTUAL AWARENESS. Fraternity creates an atmosphere conducive
to the expansion of the individual's intellectual horizons, the interchange
of ideas within the academic community and the pursuit of scholastic excellence.
SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY. Fraternity requires the individual
to commit himself and accept his responsibility to participate.
INTEGRITY. Fraternity generates a standard of personal integrity – a framework for the individual to maintain honesty, exhibit loyalty
and retain a sense of self-discipline.
BROTHERLY LOVE. Fraternity inspires and expresses the interrelation
of the individual with his fellows, his pride in the institution and respect
for the wisdom of its tradition.
