One often hears that you get out of life what you put into it. The same is true of your association with DeMolay. Jump in with both feet! Stand up in your Chapter and volunteer to be on a committee. Ask to take charge of a special project for the Chapter such as coordinating a dance, a car wash, or even a movie night at someone's home. Your Chapter can provide you with the help to get started off on the right foot. Just step up, ask how you can get involved, or suggest some activity you particularly enjoy as an event the Chapter should try as a whole. How about hiking, Go-Kart riding, or the formation of a computer club. The opportunities in Delvlolay are endless. You can accomplish most anything ( you like, but your first duty is to get involved! You will also be asked as part of your first duties as a member to share DeMolay with two other deserving young men (your friends perhaps!) within your first year of membership. It is also important to memorize your obligations in the initiatory and DeMolay degrees as soon as you have received them. This requirement may be different from jurisdiction to jurisdiction so check with Chapter members for specific requirements and assistance.

  • Separately Elevates and Broadens Our Masonic Experience
    There Is So Much More Message from Robert O. Ralston, 33o Sovereign Grand Commander, A.A.S.R., N.M.J. One of the many exciting insights that is revolutionizing American business is something called teaming. Automobile designers, manufacturing experts, marketers, advertising specialists, engineers, and others at Ford locations across the world worked together to create the new Ford Taurus car. The end result is a far better product brought to the market in loss time and at lower cost. The total resources of the Ford Motor Company were involved in creating the new car. And it all happened because of teaming. The lesson of teaming applies to Freemasonry. Each Masonic body has a unique perspective on our Fraternity, as well as specialized resources and members with unusual expertise. Each Masonic organization is an incredibly important and valuable resource for all of Freemasonry. Each Masonic body contributes to the rich texture of the Fraternity, builds member allegiance, serves noble charitable purposes, and extends the reach of Freemasonry. But even with the many wonderful accomplishments of the individual organizations, we cannot fulfill our Masonic mission alone. Each group is a facet on the Masonic jewel. Each Masonic body makes a contribution that enhances the lives of the others. We are enriched by each other. Most importantly, we are all Masons. The Symbolic Lodge binds us together, and it is this common Masonic experience that makes it possible for us to be Knight Templar Masons, Scottish Rite Masons, and Shrine Masons. What we do separately elevates and broadens our Masonic experience. The Internet is making it possible for tens of millions of people around the world to talk to each other at home and at work.
