and I will always be loyal thereto.
I do further solemnly promise and declare ~ that I will comply with the Congressional Charter ~ By-Laws and Ritual of this order ~ and I will always be loyal thereto ~ that I will never wrong or defraud this organization ~ nor a member thereof ~ nor permit any wrong to be done to either ~ if in my power to prevent it.
I will never propose for membership ~ any person not eligible ~ nor one whom I know to be unworthy.
