Lesson 2 - Brotherhood

Question 1

Creed

Answer 1

Alpha Kappa Psi recognizes that
We live in deeds, not years;
In thought, not breath;
In service, not in figures on the dial.
We count time by heart throbs,
When they beat for God, for man, for duty.
He lives most who thinks most,
Is noblest, acts the best.

Answer 9

(Verse 1)
Should old acquaintance be forgot, And Alpha Kappa Psi?
Shall we pass slowly out of view, Without regret or sigh?

(Chorus)
For Alpha Kappa Psi, my friend, for Alpha Kappa Psi;
We’ll bless the days that we have spent,
In Alpha Kappa Psi.

(Verse 2)
We’ll work with might and main to win
Our meed of daily praise.
But ne’er shall we in after years
Forget fraternal days!
