The Delta Zeta Creed
To the world
I promise temperance insight and courage,
To crusade for justice, to seek the truth and defend it always.
To those whom my life may touch in slight measure
May I give graciously of what is mine.
To my friends
Understanding and appreciation
To those closer ones
Love that is ever steadfast
To my mind
Growth
To myself
Faith
That I may walk truly in the light of the flame
Dorthy M. Williams
