Our Creed
I believe in MUSIC, the noblest of all the arts,
a source of much that is good, just and beautiful;
in FRIENDSHIP, marked by love, kindness, and sincerity;
and in HARMONY, the essence of a true and happy life.
I believe in the bond of our Fraternity, loyal, generous, and self-sacrificing,
and its strength shall ever guide me in the path that leads upward toward
the stars.

Our theme song: The Triangle
Oh, tell us what this life would be, if it were not for song.
For music soothes the troubled heart, and makes our courage strong.
But sad would all our music be if we knew not a friend.
Our lives would very lonely be, our cares would never end.
With MUSIC, FRIENDSHIP, and HARMONY, our lives are filled with power.
As music sends our paths, and brightens every hour.
MU PHI! MU PHI! MU PHI EPSILON!
