Membership

How To Become a Member

 

To be eligible for membership in the Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks,you must be a citizen of the United States over the age of 21 who believes in God.


You must be sponsored by a member of the Elks Lodge and reside in the jurisdiction of the Lodge you wish to join. You also need two other Elks who will be your co-sponsors. The Elk who proposes you for membership must obtain a Membership Application from the Lodge Secretary.


After your proposer fills in the required portion, you will be given the Application for Membership. Fill it in, following the instructions and answering all questions. Return the completed application with the application fee of $25 to the Lodge Secretary.


Your application will be read at a regular Lodge meeting. It will then be forwarded to the Investigating Committee. This committee will report to the Lodge concerning your membership. The members will be given a notice not less than 10 days nor more than two months before the vote will be taken.


When the vote is concluded, you will be notified and asked to present yourself for indoctrination. You may invite your spouse or any other family member if you choose. However, the initiation is only open to candidates for membership. During indoctrination, you will learn more about the Order's programs and charities. You will also be told during the program the date you will be initiated.


After initiation as an Elk, you can take part in all meetings and social functions of the Lodge.

If for any reason your application is rejected, you cannot make application for membership for six months from the date of rejection.
