How to Become an Elk.
Elks is an exclusive membership
You must be sponsored by another Elk to join.
To qualify as an Elk you must:
- Be over 21 years of age
- Be an American Citizen
- Believe in God
Once you can say yes to these 3 criteria, then ask yourself if you already know a friend who is an Elk and ask them to sponsor you.
If you do not know any Elks then do the following:
- Come to the lodge, and pay them a visit (Don’t forget to complete the visitor’s book found at all lodges!)
- Talk to someone in the office (if they are busy you may have to schedule) and ask more.
- Complete a membership form (completely!). Remember you will need a sponsor.
- Pay the application fee (it varies in price from lodge to lodge)
- You will undergo an Investigation, Orientation and finally your big night, Initiation.
After Initiation you will then be able to go to any lodge in America, walk in, sit down and find that you will be treated with respect, hospitality and kindness.
You’ll make new friends and have fun with your new fellow Elks.
Elks - Why we joined
There are hundreds of reasons why we joined, most of them are about coming together as a team and helping the Veterans, the less fortunate, and the elderly. Most of us have been in one or more of those categories. That's why we joined to assist those whose shoes we shared in the past. We are a Benevolent Order.
ENF Scholarships for teens
The Elks is second, only to the United States government, in giving out scholarships to teens looking for financial help for college.
Each year the Elks give out 750 new four year scholarships to seniors in high school to help in paying tuition to colleges around the country.
