for their talent, ability, nobility, dependability and unity but most of all,
for their strength of character, in living with the high ideals of humility and
friendship. Tandu Legis is a venue which will give their potential hermanos and
future lawyers, the chance to feel for themselves the camaraderie and deep sense
of brotherhood unique only to the fraternity.
