How to Join
To inquire about membership, talk to a current member or contact a local chapter. To find chapters in your area, contact the Grand Secretary of that state or province. If you are in Indiana, you may use our List of Chapters to find one near you. The Grand Secretary can help you contact that Chapter. Petitions are carefully read, eligibility investigated, and election to membership must be by a vote of the Chapter. The Order strives to select persons of mental, moral, and spiritual quality who will work together in harmony to perform its objectives.
