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 it's ideals, and by so doing to bring to it honor and credit.   I shall be loyal to my college and chapter, and shall keep strong my ties to them that I may ever retain the spirit of youth.  I shall strive to 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.
