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 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 to 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 these -- the three ideals -- of the founders of our fraternity -- this is the Creed of Tau Epsilon Phi.
