Chi Omega Symphony

“To live constantly above snobbery of word or deed; to place scholarship

before social obligations and character before appearances; to be,

in the best sense, democratic rather than ‘exclusive’, and lovable rather

than ‘popular'; to work earnestly, to speak kindly, to act sincerely, to

choose thoughtfully that course which occasion and conscience demand;

to be womanly always; to be discouraged never; in a word, to be loyal under any

and all circumstances to my Fraternity and her highest teachings

and to have her welfare ever at heart that she may be a symphony of

high purpose and helpfulness in which there is no discordant note.”

ETHEL SWITZER HOWARD
