From Duncan Drewette

Who remembers the words to opening Prayer/Devotion that we used to recite at the beginning of each Frat meeting. I believe it started with "Oh most high and exalted potentate, we are gathered here  etc. etc." something about "guardians of the seven candles of Virtue etc. etc."

  1. As I recall the opening of the meetings:

    The president of the chapter: “Who is this gathered before me?”

    The members: “Oh most high and exalted potentate before you is gathered Alpha and Omega, protectors of the seven candles and the sword of brotherhood.”

    The President: “Then let the brotherhood speak out in the voice of unity and lay down their precepts.”

    All members: “We the brotherhood of Alpha and Omega believe in the rights and consideration of others and stand associated together to attain the joys and glories of a strong fraternal brotherhood.”
    For those who may have forgot,
    THE SEVEN CANDLES
    FAITH:
    HOPE:
    FORTITUDE:
    TEMPERANCE:
    JUSTICE:
    PRUDENCE:
    CHARITY:
