Here is why every woman, Alpha Chi Omega or not, should live by The Symphony.
To see beauty even in the common things of life
Take the time to look around you; to appreciate things that you may have overlooked initially. Take every negative situation and turn it into a positive one and remember how much you are blessed. We have so much to be thankful for.
To shed the light of love and friendship round me
Show love to everyone, wholeheartedly. Be a best friend, confidant, and sister, even when it is hard. All people deserved to be loved, and you deserve to show your love. Be the sunshine on a rainy day.
To keep my life in tune with the world that I shall make no discords in the harmony of life
Be one with everyone and everything around you. Learn and grow with the ever-changing statues quo of society. Be the difference that makes its point through class and sincerity, not sass and obscurity. Be someone that other women strive to be like.
To strike on the lyre of the universe only the notes of happiness, of joy, of peace
Be positive and uplifting. We all have upsetting situations, but it is how we handle them with such grace and ability that sets us apart. Don't be afraid to smile and laugh because the world is a good place. You deserve to be happy. Be whole, be genuine, and be poised.
To appreciate every little service rendered
Take the time to say thank you. Thank your family, your friends, the man who held the door open for you and the woman who lent you her umbrella in the downpour. If you are grateful for the people in your life and for everything they do for you, make sure they know it. Sometimes we get so caught up in this fast pace culture we live in that we forget to slow down and just be appreciative for people and what they do for our wellbeing.
To see and appreciate all that is noble in another, be her badge what it may
Every woman deserves to be emboldened, encouraged, and empowered. Every woman does not just mean every woman in your chapter or every woman in your family; it means every single woman. Be the woman that makes a positive impact on another woman.
And to let my lyre send forth the chords of love, unselfishness, sincerity
Love, unselfishness, and sincerity are three words that should be in the back of your mind at all times. Be a woman who is loving, unselfish, and sincere. There is nothing more powerful than a woman who is beautiful on the inside and the out. Carry these three words with you every minute of every day and do your best to practice them in your daily life.
This is to be my symphony.
