"Brother Sigmas, we belong to a society worthy of our highest
regard and warmest affection. We are united in the strong and enduring
bonds of friendship and esteem. Let us each and all so do our duty
and conduct ourselves that we bring no dishonor upon our society
or each other. And we may have the high and proud satisfaction of
knowing that our beautiful white cross, at once the badge of our
society and the emblem of purity, will never be worn over any breast
which does not beat with pure, generous, and noble emotions, and
by no man who is not a man of honor."
--Isaac M. Jordan, August 1884
