The Badge of Theta Chi Fraternity

I am the badge of Theta Chi.
I was born among the granite hills of Vermont.
I am as old as the ideals of humanity. I am everlasting youth.
I am the symbol of the Fraternity.
I am the two Greek letters, O and X.
My constitution is pure gold.
I represent truth, honor, character, strength, achievement.
I cannot be given away.
I cannot be exchanged.
I cannot be sold in barter or in trade.
Once accepted, I remain a possession forever.
I am worn over the heart.
My intrinsic value cannot be estimated.
I am treasured, cherished, honored.
My influence continues throughout life.
I am proud of my patriotic devotion and service.
I shall remain always undivided in my loyalty and allegiance to my flag—my country.
I am the badge of Theta Chi.
