The Prayer of Chi Phi Fraternity

ALMIGHTY FATHER, who dost vouchsafe to direct those who acknowledge Thee in all their ways, look, we beseech Thee, with favor upon our Fraternity. Make it a blessing and a benefit to all its members. Deliver us from those evils to which we may be at any time exposed. Grant us the light of Thy Truth and the illumination of Thy Spirit that we may always do that which is acceptable in Thy sight. Unite us in the bonds of love. Keep us in charity with all mankind. Incline our hearts to walk humbly before Thee and help us so to acquit ourselves in this life that we may dwell with Thee in life everlasting. Amen.

The Creed of Chi Phi Fraternity

I believe in the Chi Phi Fraternity. From its triple origin, Chi Phi sets forth and maintains values that others in society have dared to compromise. Truth, honesty, and personal integrity are the foundations upon which Chi Phi is built. A man's word is his bond. Chivalrous behavior crosses the ages to touch the heart of Chi Phi.

I believe in the friendship of Chi Phi. Whether on the road or in the chapter house, the hand of Brotherhood is always extended. The strength obtained from the union of congenial minds is the backbone of the Fraternity. Our founders sought for nothing less.

Finally, I believe in the future of the Chi Phi Fraternity because I believe in myself. When I put forth my best effort and combine that with the strength of my Brothers, we can achieve the victory of continual existence.

As long as the Almighty permits, I will strive to better myself through the teachings of my Fraternity. Being a more aware citizen, a more able person, and a stronger Chi Phi shall be my reward.

The True Gentleman 

The true gentleman is a man whose conduct proceeds from goodwill and an acute sense of propriety, and whose self-control is equal to all emergencies; who does not make the poor man conscious of his poverty, the obscure man of his obscurity, or any man of his inferiority or deformity; who is himself humbled when necessity compels him to humble another; who does not flatter wealth, fringe before power, or boast of his own possessions or achievements; who speaks with frankness but with sincerity and sympathy always; whose deed follows his word; who thinks of the rights and feelings of others rather than his own; and who appears well in any company, a man with whom honor is sacred and virtue is safe.
