Finding Membership
|
| A man or woman of good character, who is loyal to his or her country and believes in a Supreme Being, the Creator and Preserver of the Universe, is eligible for membership. Odd Fellowship strictly forbids any interference with one's religious beliefs or political opinions. A candidate must be sponsored by a current member, so the first step towards joining is to find someone who is a current member. The form below will allow you to meet a member who will be glad to share Odd Fellowship with you. |
After You Have Applied for Membership
|
When the lodge has received your application, they will appoint an interviewing committee of three members. These members will call on you, both to ask questions and to answer any questions you may have concerning the lodge. One purpose of the interviewing committee is to give a candidate at least three familiar faces in the lodge. At the next meeting, the interviewing committee will report back to the lodge. The lodge will ballot to accept you as a member. If you are accepted, the lodge will then send you a letter announcing your election to membership and the date and time for initiation. |
