2. To champion a lifelong commitment to brotherhood, learning, ethical leadership, and exemplary character. 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 bring to it honor and credit. I shall be loyal to my college and my chapter, and keep strong my ties to them that I may ever retain the spirit of youth. I shall try always to discharge the obligation to others which arises from the fact that I AM A FRATERNITY MAN. – Roland Maxwell, USC ’22 STATE OF THE FRATERNITY
