...beautiful ladiesTo live constantly above snobbery of word or deed; to place scholarship before social obligations and character above 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 thoughtfullythat course which occasion and conscience demand;to be womanly always; to be discouraged never;in a word, to be loyal to my Fraternity and her highest teachings and the 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 Xi 1904
