You will find the Statement of Induction in the Chapter Manual.  In addition to consulting the Chapter Manual at :  http://www.phibetadelta.org/images/stories/PDF/phibetadelta-chapter-manual.pdf ,   please see the Initiation Guide

These are twelve possible or suggested initiations ceremonies for Phi Beta Delta. Remember that we are a nonsectarian organization, so no initiation should have religious or philosophic symbols, which would make someone uncomfortable because of their faith or indeed their lack of specific denominational affiliation. The initiation should be ecumenical and embracing. Unlike other Greek societies we do not require a set initiation service of chapters, but rather leave to each chapter its induction format. What we do require is that the initiation be conducted with considerable honor, that the history and symbols of the society be explained thoroughly to the candidates and that the ceremony be memorable and meaningful.
