Which line is part of the Creed?

• A. We count time by heart throbs, When they beat for God, for man, for duty.
• B. Alpha Kappa Psi recognizes that We live in deeds, not years; In thought, not breath; In service, not in figures on the dial.
• C. We live in deeds, not years; In thought, not breath; In service, not in figures on the dial.
• D. Our creed is a guide for wealth.

Answer: (B)

The Creed teaches that a member’s value is shown by actions, not by how long one has lived or by empty counts. That sentiment is captured by the line that states we live in deeds, not years; in thought, not breath; in service, not in figures on the dial. In this set, the line presented with that exact creed content—and commonly used in AKPsi as the creed statement—is the best match. The other options introduce ideas not part of the Creed (time counted by heart throbs; wealth as a creed) or miss the familiar phrasing, so they don’t fit as the creed wording.
