When Dad Land and others formally organized the Alumni Association
in 1929, one of their main goals was to re-involve majority members
with the fraternity and recognize outstanding Senior DeMolays. The
International DeMolay Alumni Association provided Senior DeMolays and
other friends of DeMolay with an opportunity to remain involved with
DeMolay. It also extends the bonds of fraternalism throughout their
lifetimes.
Membership in the International DeMolay Alumni Association is open to
any male over the age of 21 who believes in the future of DeMolay.
Local Alumni Associations assist chapters and reinforce the concept
that membership in DeMolay is a lifetime opportunity. Today, after 66
years and a reorganization in 1984, the Alumni Association's main goal
is still the same.
Now more than ever, the Order of DeMolay depends on the support and
leadership of alumni and friends. As the Order faces the challenges of
the future, the leadership of Senior DeMolays and friends will become
increasingly important.
The International DeMolay Alumni Association has become the vehicle for
alumni involvement and leadership for over 5,000 life members. As the
official organization of Senior DeMolays and friends of the Order, the
Alumni Association offers a special way to lend support to the mission,
purpose, and principles of the Order of DeMolay.
DeMolay has made a significant impact on the lives of thousands of young
men, and in turn, they have responded by significantly adding to our
quality of life through their professional and career accomplishments.
They have brought honor to themselves and to the Order of DeMolay.
The list of prominent Senior DeMolays includes astronauts, governors,
members of Congress, generals, inventors, entertainers, ambassadors,
writers, athletes, major corporation executives, and a President of the
United States.
Annual Memberships
Annual memberships in the Alumni Association are available for only $25.
This program is designed for those brothers who prefer to pay an annual
fee, rather than a lifetime fee. An annual member receives a membership
card and subscription to the Alumni Association Newsletter. The Newsletter
will keep you up-to-date on DeMolay and the DeMolay Alumni Association.
More importantly, an annual member is eligible to become involved in a
local alumni association.
Both the Newsletter and local associations are designed to strengthen the
bond of brotherhood within the Alumni Association. Annual membership fees
are not tax deductible.
Life Memberships
Life memberships in the Alumni Association can be obtained for $100.
A life member does not pay an annual membership fee. Life membership
fees ARE NOT tax deductible.
Life members receive an embossed membership certificate, card, lapel pin,
and a subscription to the Alumni Association Newsletter. Life members are
also welcome to become involved in a local association.
For your convenience, you may pay by check or credit card.
An Alumni Association Trust Fund has been established within DeMolay
International. Therefore, annual and life membership fees are not
tax deductible when computing U.S. federal income tax.
All life membership fees (and one-third of the annual fees) are placed
into this trust fund. The principal can not be spent. Only the
investment or interest income from the trust may be used.
The interest income from the Alumni Association Trust Fund is used to
promote the Order of DeMolay, to organize local alumni associations, and
to provide increased education opportunities for the young men of DeMolay.
