Learn More About the Fun, Adventure and Growth You’ll Enjoy as a Member of DeMolay

What is DeMolay? DeMolay is fun. DeMolay is and can be most anything you would like it to be. We have sports, ceremonies, all sorts of competitions in all sorts of areas and it’s the largest fraternal (fraternity) organization for young men in the world.

What do you do? We do almost everything and anything. We have dances, parties, and picnics. We play most sports from basketball to softball to volleyball.

How big is DeMolay? DeMolay was started in 1919, and since that time over 4 million young men just like us have joined. Today there are about 1500 chapters, located in the United States, Canada and several other countries.

Who belongs to DeMolay? Lots of guys just like us, who like to have fun at great activities and to learn things that will prepare them (and us) for the future.

What are the membership requirements? To join DeMolay, you must be a young man between the ages of twelve and twenty-one; believe in a supreme being; be a person of good character and good reputation; and petition a DeMolay chapter.

How much does it cost to join? It varies from Chapter to Chapter but there is only a one time life membership fee. We do have to pay for some of our activities, but that’s to be expected.

When and where do you meet? Most of the Chapters meet in Masonic Buildings. We meet twice a month, once to conduct business and plan projects and activities, and once to initiate new members or work on some type of project, like finishing last minute details for a service project or a dance.

Can I attend a meeting? Well, you can’t formally attend a meeting until you join, but you can come to our activities and meet some of the guys. If you really want to attend a meeting to see what it’s like, you can come down to our next meeting for a while and I will introduce you to all the guys.

Are there any girls in DeMolay? DeMolay is an organization for young men, but there are girls at some of our activities. There are other organizations, for young ladies, similar to DeMolay, and sponsored by the Masonic Family, such as the IORG.

What makes DeMolay different from other young men’s organizations? What sets us apart from the other young men’s groups is that we have a feeling of “brotherhood” that comes from belonging to our fraternity. DeMolay will provide you with many lasting experiences.
