The Creed - answer To bind men together in a brotherhood based upon eternal and
immutable principles, with a bond as strong as right itself and as lasting as humanity; to
know no North, no South, no East, no West, but to know man as man, to teach that true
men the world over should stand together and contend for supremacy of good over evil;
to teach, not politics, but morals; to foster, not partisanship, but the recognition of true
merit wherever found; to have no narrower limits within which to work together for the
elevation of man than the outlines of the world: these were the thoughts and hopes
uppermost in the minds of the founders of the Alpha Tau Omega Fraternity.
