What is the Independent Order of Odd Fellows?

The Independent Order of Odd Fellows is one of the oldest and largest fraternities in the world.  We are non-political and non-sectarian.  Membership is open to all regardless of sex, race, religion, political affiliation and social status -all bound by the desire to improve ourselves and the calling to live and promote the principles of Friendship, Love, and Truth which transcends labels. We believe that by developing close friendships among each other and by working together in our communities, we can make a difference in the world and among ourselves!  Discussing political, sectarian or any other debate is forbidden in the Lodge, so it breaks down the social walls and labels used to view others and opens hearts and minds to start seeing people as Brothers and Sisters.

Valediction:

I believe...my community deserves my best work, my modest pride, my earnest faith, and my deepest loyalty, as I perform my duty "to visit the sick, relieve the distressed, bury the dead and educate the orphan" and as I work with others to build a better world...

Why did I choose to participate with the Odd Fellows?

• NON-POLITICAL
• NON-SECTARIAN

Ask yourself...

• Have you been searching for a way to help others and be a part of
  something bigger than yourself?
• Do you want to learn to be a better person and empower yourself to be more successful in all parts of your life?
• Do you want to help make your community a better place and help those in need?
• Do you feel lonely or crave quality social interactions and want to be part of something important?
• By becoming an Odd Fellow you will learn to base your thoughts and actions on the philosophical principles of the Order.
  
  

We believe that life is a commitment to improve and elevate the character of mankind through service and example. Our legacy has been 200 years of helping each other and others without seeking anything in return.  Odd Fellows are aware of the vanity of earthly things, the frailty and inevitable decay of human life and the fact that wealth has no power to stop the sureness of eventual death.

Now ask yourself, “How am I going to spend my life?”
