How to Kill a Lodge

  • Don’t come.

  • When you do come, come late.

  • Never accept an office. It is better to stay out-side and criticize.

  • The officers asked for the job, let them do all the work.

  • Never pay your dues in advance. Wait until you get your moneys worth and then wait a while longer.

  • It is good to tell your officers failings to visitors, they might be a long time finding them out.

  • If there are a few zealous workers in the Lodge inform everyone the Lodge is run by a clique.

  • Disagree with established rules and regulations, let people know you have a mind of your own.

  • Keep talking to the brother next to you in open Lodge, it makes for good fellowship.

  • If one brother has said or done something you don’t like, be mad at the whole Lodge.
