Membership

The AOH National Constitution specifies the following as one of the duties of the National Vice President: “Be responsible for advancing and promoting the Degree work of the Order” (Article X, Section 2, B).

The Rituals and Degrees of the AOH are an important component of who and what we are as an organization. While it is essential for us to urge our members to take the Major Degree, it is also incumbent on us to assure that the Degree Teams themselves are available to perform this service wherever required. During the first week of September I mailed a Degree Team Profile form to be completed by each of our teams. My purpose was to ascertain which teams are currently active, as well as to update contact information for all teams.

The teams are being listed below in the hope that counties, states, and regions will now start to plan for Major Degrees in their respective jurisdictions.
