I had intended to re-read my Sigma Light just before the 2005 Conclave, but never got around to it. Given the recent passing of Bro. Hall, I decided to open it up and this poem at the beginning jumped out at me. I would hope that those close minded individuals would do the same and be reminded of a more humble time. Maybe their outlook would change and they’d show true brotherhood.<\/p>\n

\nAchieving greatness which the world proclaims,
\nRegarding life with tenderness sublime,
\nAnd with design which knows no race or clime,
\nAppeals to selfish man to serve and love
\nGod’s handiwork created from above;
\nPHI BETA SIGMA stands this test of years
\nSupremely over blight and cringing fears.
\nWith unflinching will that cannot fail,
\nThe sacred cause advances to prevail.
\nGive us the conscience staunch and spirit brave,
\nTo master stormy sea and angry wave,
\nAnd as the curtain falls o’er the brief life,
\nWe’ll march triumphant from this din and strife.
