"'E consider the fraternity responsible for a positive contribution \.JJ to the primary functions of the colleges and universities, and therefore under an obligation to encourage the most complete personal development of its members, intellectual, physical, and social. Therefore we declare: ( 1) That the objectives and activities of the fraternity should be in entire accord with the aims and purposes of the institu­ tions at which it has chapters. ( 2) That the primary loyalty and responsibility of a student in his relations with his institution are to the institution, and that the association of any group of students as a chapter of a fraternity involves the definite responsibility of the group for the conduct of the individual. ( 3) That the fraternity should promote conduct consistent with good morals and good taste. ( 4) That the fraternity should create an atmosphere which will stimulate substantial intellectual progress and superior intel­ lectual achievement. ( 5) That the fraternity should maintain sanitary, safe, and whole­ some physical conditions in the chapter house. ( 6) That the fraternity should inculate principles of sound busi­ ness practice both in chapter finances and in the business relations of its members.
