The Pledge of Student Support for the Millsaps College Conduct Code

As a community of scholars dedicated to the call of service and
learning, we seek to promote intellectual growth, social unity,
spiritual development, and a greater Millsaps College for
years to come.

We understand that in belonging to such a community dedicated
to scholarship and excellence we must call ourselves to the
highest of standards.

We call ourselves to personal integrity—displaying absolute honesty
and extraordinary character.

We call ourselves to a mature social development—respecting each
other’s race, religion, creed, class, sexual orientation,
or disability.

We call ourselves to a respectful life—respecting one another’s
privacy, property, and personal development.

We call ourselves to mature academic development—fulfilling the
college’s mission of ad excellentiam.

We call ourselves to be concerned and compassionate for those
inside and outside our community.

To ourselves, each other, and to this sacred community,
we commit ourselves.
