Not long ago, I got an email from Samoset Tribe #22 located in Vallejo, CA. Above, you can see some of the feedback they received from their applicants. Below are the remarks from the email's author, and the photo displays just a selection of the responses.
"About 6 months ago, Samoset significantly updated the membership application and added questions such as: Why are you interested in joining the Red Men? What special skills do you have to offer the fraternity? Finally, we asked applicants what they wanted the fraternity to offer them? The responses from our local community boil down to a handful of general reasons for joining the Improved Order of Red Men, which were quite helpful to recognize. We also began to put together a plan for meeting those needs."
What was your reason for joining? We'd love to know
