• 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.
