HOUSE of ALPHA

  

GOODWILL is the monarch of this house

Where men, unacquainted, enter, shake hands,

exchange greetings, and depart friends.

Cordiality exists among all who abide within.

 

I am the eminent expression of friendship.

Character and temperament change under my dominant power.

Lives once touched by me become tuned,

and are thereafter, amiable, kindly, fraternal.

 

I inspire the musician to play noble sentiments,

and assist the chemist to convert ungenerous personalities

into individuals of great worth.

I destroy all ignoble impulses.

I constantly invoke principles which make for common brotherhood,

and the echo resounds in all communities,

and princely men are thereby recognized.

 

Education, health, music, encouragement, sympathy, laughter:

All these are species of interest given on self-invested capital.

Tired moments find me a delightful treat,

Hours of sorrow a shrine of understanding,

 

At all times I am faithful to the creed of companionship.

To a few I am the Castle of Dreams,

Ambitious, successful, hopeful dreams.

To many, I am the Poetic Palace

where human feeling is rhymed to celestial motives.

To the great majority,

I am the Treasury of Good Fellowship.

In fact, I am the College of Friendship;

The University of Brotherly Love;

The School for the Better Making of Men.

 

I am ALPHA PHI ALPHA !
