Poems
Recite Invictus
Out of the night that covers me, Black as the pit from pole to pole
I thank whatever gods may be, For my unconquerable soul
In the fell clutch of circumstance, I have not winced nor cried aloud
Under the bludgeoning of chance, My head is bloody, but unbowed
Beyond this place of wrath and tears, Looms but the horror of the shade,
And yet the menace of the years, Finds, and shall find me unafraid.
It matters not how straight the gate, How charged with punishments the scroll,
I am the master of my fate, I am the captain of my soul.

Poems
Recite Kappa of My Dreams
When, with the break of day
Each Brother, as he kneels to pray
Will mention Kappa in his say
That’s the Kappa of my Dreams;
And ‘ere the noonday sun is high
Will pause and think of K A Psi
And perform some deed in Phi Nu Pi,
That’s the Kappa of my Dreams
When each member shows he cares
How every other Kappa fares
And our obligation jointly shares,
That’s the Kappa of my Dreams;
And when Greeks from every place
Admit that Kappa leads the race
And our Achievements set the pace,
That’s the Kappa of my Dreams.
When inscribed upon the campus scroll
And on every college honor roll
The name of each youth in our fold,
That’s the Kappa of my Dreams;
And when in every place you roam
Any territory you may comb
You’ll find each Chapter with its home
That’s the Kappa of my Dreams
And when the evening shadows fall
All Kappas will answer to the call
And over the meeting hall,
That’s the Kappa of my Dreams;
And when every Brother knows our laws
And is so dedicated to the cause
That the Grand Polemarch may be chosen
By drawing straws,
That’s the Kappa of my Dreams.
