The objects and aims of this sisterhood shall be general  improvement, which shall comprehend more especially the  following points: To seek growth in charity toward all with whom we  associate, and a just comprehension of, and adherence to,  the qualities of Faith, Love, Purity, Justice and Truth. To seek growth in knowledge and in culture, and to  obtain all possible wisdom from nature, art, books, study,  and society and to radiate all light possible by conversation,  by writing and by the right exercise of any talent we  possess. To aim at self-control, equipoise and symmetry of  character, and temperance in opinions, speech and habits.

It shall be the chief duty of each member to consider  thoughtfully the full import of P.E.O. This will include a  sincere regard for our influence in the community, a careful  consideration of feeling when speaking, and a  determination to do all we can at all times and under all  circumstances to express a loving concern for each sister.
