The 5 principles of Sigma Theta Epsilon are: We seek fellowship, the joys and blessings of intimate comradeship with its power to encourage, to give and to receive. We seek the deep personal discussions, the wholesome and relevant social activities, the cheerful, honed, unswerving loyalty of friendship. We seek to serve, to give to the world talents given to us. We seek to give our Brotherhood a more complete understanding of the arts of living and to develop their talents in order that they may enjoy the more abundant life. We seek to give leaders dedicated to the principles of Christian living and brotherly love. We seek to serve as workers in any worthwhile project, having for its purpose to serve as disciples of our Lord. We seek faith. We seek in our hearts and souls that faith in God, His manner of working, and His love, that nothing can dispel. We endeavor to build a faith in humanity and eventual victory of the right. We seek reverence, that constant acknowledgement of God as the motivating power in our lives. We try to exemplify in our every word and action the respect we hold for the pure love of our Creator, friendships and worthy deeds. We seek love, that spirit which is God within us. We seek to attune our lives in order that His love and mercy may find experession through us. As God is love wihtin us, coordinating our every effort and motivation our every effort, our every action, so love of God through Jesus Christ is the cornerstone of our fraternity, completing and giving purposeful life in our Brotherhood.
