Oath

Rather than talking out the side of my neck and having my thoughts swirl through my head, I decided to take the true definition of the word oath, and break down the definition and apply it in our everyday rituals in our respective fraternities and sororoties. Now oath as defined by Merriam-Webster as a solemn usually formal calling upon God or a god to witness to the truth of what one says or to witness that one sincerely intends to do what one say. Now think about this, an oath is basically an act that is witnessed by God to uphold your word. Now what is your word in terms of your fraternity. What did you promise to do before God in terms to make your organization better or to hold yourself to the standards that your founder members set out before. Making an oath is important because once it's set, its up to you to make sure that your standards are in tune with the standards of your organization. I feel that you really can't be a productive member of your organization unless you uphold the oath. Now let's go back and see what kinds of oaths you took when you became a member of your organization. For me, I know I took an oath to become a catalyst for change and to help my community in any way that I can. So for me that's what I need to make sure I never turn my back on what I promised to do.
