Past Supreme Chief Laura Vande Waa
Being A Pythian Sister
Have you ever stopped to ponder the wonderful lessons we teach?
The beautiful truth, the way of life that's within each sister's reach?
Have you ever paused to think a while what an example our lives could be?
Have you ever stopped to ask yourself, what does being a Pythian Sister mean to me?
As I ask myself this question, the first thought that comes to my mind,
Is the Sisterly LOVE, which we stand for, does it benefit all mankind?
Does it eliminate hatred, resentment and anger too?
It would if we earnestly practiced it for that's what it's mean to do.
Then next I thought of EQUALITY, that principle so divine,
Without it we couldn't be Sisters, and your problems couldn't be mine.
If we believe in our teachings, our motto must ever be,
Work for the good of the Order and work for EQUALITY.
FIDELITY is our next lesson and I'm sure we can all recall,
The solemn obligation and vows we took that night in our Temple hall.
We promised to always be faithful, to promote interest and harmony,
Without these we cannot succeed at all, we must have FIDELITY.
Then last comes the virtue, PURITY, most important of all I would say,
For it tells us how we must live our lives as we journey along life's way.
And if we observe its lessons, the footprints we leave behind,
May help to serve another or ease someone's troubled mind.
Do we really believe in our teachings? Do we mean what we say and do?
Since no one may judge another's thought, I'll leave it up to you.
Examine yourself sincerely and honestly search your own heart,
And if you find the true Pythian SPIRIT you'll know you are doing your part.
By, PSC Laura Vande Waa
