Covenant of Service

Accepting the divine privilege of single and collective responsibility as life’s noblest gift, I covenant with my fellow Exchangites:

  • To consecrate my best energies to the uplifting of Social, Religious, Political and Business ideals;

  • To discharge the debt I owe to those of high and low estate who have served and sacrificed that the heritage of American citizenship might be mine;

  • To honor and respect law, to serve my fellowmen, and to uphold the ideals and institutions of my Country;

  • To implant the life-giving, society-building spirit of Service and Comradeship in my social and business relationships;

  • To serve in Unity with those seeking better conditions, better understandings, and greater opportunities for all.
