Which statement from the Creed expresses a responsibility toward others as a fraternity member?

• A. I shall strive to lead my chapter to national championships.
• B. I shall keep secret the inner workings of the fraternity.
• C. I shall discharge the obligation to others which arises from the fact that I am a fraternity man.
• D. I shall avoid involvement in community service.

Answer: (D)

Being a fraternity member carries a responsibility to others, expressed as obligations you owe to fellow members and the broader community. The statement that fits this idea best is the one that says you will discharge the obligation to others that arises from being a fraternity man. It explicitly links membership to a duty to help, support, and serve others, embodying the sense of brotherhood and service at the heart of fraternity life.

The other ideas shift focus away from service and duty: pursuing championships talks about achievement, keeping inner workings secret emphasizes confidentiality, and avoiding community service runs counter to the very idea of acting in service to others.
