- druWhile this was the creed of my fraternity "Primum, Vir Esto" First, be a Man, here Vir is a Masculine form I prefer to think of it instead as meaning the archaic English form of Man as in "Human"
Yet, I retain some of the Stoic attributes as well.
Represents the Stoic attributes
That I am "human"
Side note: males used to be called "Werman" hence man meaning all humans.

This is the motto of my Alma Mater and my Fraternity and I have adopted it as my personal motto as well. I will strive always to act as the ideal of a Man. Someone who looks out for others and protects them. To judge a man in terms of being a human. To be compassionate and caring of others
