 
Opening Ritual
Sisters in Beta Sigma Phi,
We pledge ourselves anew
to the aims and purposes of our glorious sisterhood.
More tolerance for our fellow beings
through a better understanding of them,
a clearer and deeper appreciation
of the cultural and finer things in life four ourselves,
and a determination to give
the best that is in us to our sorority
and to assist in any and every way
to shed the light of our torch
throughout the world.
Closing Ritual
Eternal father, shepherd of the stars,
guide us that we may follow
only the good,
only the true,
only the beautiful.
Hold aloft to us the guiding torch of wisdom
and help us to push on,
undaunted,
towards its light.
Illume our souls with thy wisdom,
that we in turn may light the way
for those who follow us.
If the road we take seems obscured in dust,
give us the skill and grace
to pave it with stars,
to transmute the dust into stardust.
Grant us such clearness of vision,
such sweetness of spirit,such earnestness of purpose,
that we may follow the torch to our goal.
May the lord watch between me and thee,
while we are absent one from the other."
