Alpha Phi Omega in Zeta Omega 
I looked upon slumbering Nature, and with deep reflection discovered
the reality of a vast and infinite thing — something no power could
demand, influence acquire, nor riches purchase. Nor could it be
effaced by the tears of time or deadened by sorrow.
As the Sun withdrew his rays from the garden, and the moon threw
cushioned beams upon the flowers, I sat under the trees pondering upon
the phenomena of the atmosphere, looking through the branches at the
strewn stars which glittered like chips of silver upon a blue carpet;
and I could hear from a distance the agitated murmur of the rivulet
singing its way briskly into the campus trees.
When the birds took shelter among the boughs, and the flowers folded
their petals, and tremendous silence descended, I heard a rustle of
feet though the grass. I took heed and saw a young man approaching my
arbor.
After he looked about in every direction, I heard the young man
saying, “Sit by me, my FRIEND, and listen to my heart; smile, for your
happiness is a symbol of our future; be merry, for the sparkling days
rejoice with us.
It is something that gathers strength with patience, grows despite
obstacles, warms in and flourishes in rainy season, casts a breeze in
and bears fruit in summer — I found ALPHA PHI OMEGA in ZETA OMEGA.
