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 to bring to it honor and credit.

I shall be loyal to my college and my chapter and shall keep strong my ties to them that I may ever retain the spirit of truth.

I shall 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.
