Ask yourself this...
"What
kind of a chapter would my chapter be,
Il all the members were just like me.
You can thoughtfully ask yourself that question,
Il not. perhaps it's a swell suggestion.
You
can sit by the fireside, smoking your pipe.
Find fault with the officers, censure and gripe.
Or you can be one who is always on call
Both ready and willing to carry the ball.
To your fellow members you soon will be known,
As true loyal worker, or else as a drone.
You can pass on new members, or you can refuse,
To take any part beyond paying your dues.
You
can stand on the sidelines, or jump in and play,
Attend every campout or just stay away .
You can visit his home when a member is ill,
Or leave all the calling to JOE or BILL.
Whatever
your talents, some job you can do,
So say to yourself as the past you review.
What kind of chapter would my chapter be,
Il all the members were just like me,"
