Creed
Gamma Phi Beta from the past has given a heritage that makes a fuller
life.
Gamma Phi Beta in the present bids us strive for lasting values and
ideals.
Gamma Phi Beta in the days to come will prove that fundamentals can
endure.
Therefore we shall embody in our lives the truths that make for finer
womanhood.
Once more we pledge a loyalty that means adherence to all true and
noble things;
A learning that enriches all our days with magic gold that is forever
ours;
A labor that each hour will glorify the simple, common task, the common
cause;
A love that will be strong and great enough to encompass and to pity
all the world.
Love, Labor, Learning, Loyalty--Our Creed
