Why do organizations have a ffa creed?
Every first year FFA member( greenhand) must memorize the FFA Creed. The creed was written to join members together with those first two words...I believe. Even those FFA members who are out of high school probably can say at least one of the five paragraphs. To me the creed was the first step, the first time you feel that togetherness. Knowing that you are not alone and that everyone in your class has to get up and say the same thing. Congratulations on wanting to be in the FFA it is truly an amazing experience.
