Membership Requirements
Any person of good character, of any race, gender, nationality and social status, who is loyal to their country and believes in a Supreme Being, is eligible for membership. Odd Fellowship strictly forbids any interference with one’s religious beliefs or political opinions.
An active member must sponsor a prospective member.
If you do not know anyone that is an Odd Fellow, find a local lodge, drop in on the day of a meeting about 30 minutes before the scheduled time, and introduce yourself. Most Lodges are eager to find new members and will be glad to meet you.
You may also contact the Grand Lodge office for any assistance.
Lodges charge an initiation fee and annual dues. The amount of dues is set by each Lodge.
Submitting an application does not guarantee acceptance of membership to a Lodge. The Lodge will ballot to accept you as a member. If the vote is favorable, you will be brought to the next Initiation and start a lifelong journey of helping your fellow man and expanding your fraternal relations with the world.
