Wikipedia defines an oath as:
"Oath is is either a statement of fact or a promise calling upon something or someone that the oath maker considers sacred, usually God, as a witness to the binding nature of the promise or the truth of the statement of fact. To swear is to take an oath, to make a solemn vow."
The oath that I made to my fraternity is an oath that I don't take lightly. I realized that after class last week.
If my fraternity is to grow and prosper on this campus, I have to live my oath and make sure that my brothers do the same. I don't hold my brothers accountable enough sometimes, and that is something I intend to do better. To really make a difference in my fraternity, I have to make a difference in how I hold myself and others accountable. I also have to hold myself and others to a higher standard.
My oath needs to reevaluated, just to make sure that I am following it as I should. This oath will last a lifetime, so I must make sure that I am doing all I can to uphold it and make it a part of everyday.
