I believe that Phi Kappa Psi is a brotherhood of
honorable men, courteous and cultured, who pledge
throughout their lives to be generous, compassionate,
and loyal comrades;
I believe that I am honor bound to strive manfully
for intellectual, moral, and spiritual excellence; to
help and forgive my Brothers; to discharge promptly all
just debts; to give aid and sympathy to all who are less
fortunate;
I believe that I am honor bound to strengthen my
character and deepen my integrity; to counsel and guide
my Brothers who stray from their obligations; to respect
and emulate my Brothers who practice moderation in their
manners and morals; to be ever mindful that loyalty to
my Fraternity should not weaken loyalty to my college,
but rather increase devotion to it, to my country, and
to my God;
I believe that to all I meet, wherever I go, I
represent not only Phi Kappa Psi, but indeed the spirit
of all fraternities; thus I must ever conduct myself so
as to bring respect and honor not to myself alone, but
also to my Fraternity;
To the fulfillment of these beliefs, of these ideals,
in the noble perfection of Phi Kappa Psi, I pledge my
life and my sacred honor.
