“The main purposes of our degree program are: “Waken a pride in the ancient race of our forefathers and develop an interest in the history and destiny of that race”.
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.
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.
Whenever the Major Degree is performed, in addition to the qualified candidates for the degree, we also welcome and encourage Officers, Sponsors, and all Major Degree Members to observe the candidates learn the Lessons and take the Test of Our Order, in accordance to our laws. Candidates and observers alike should be informed, that proper dress code is in order (no sneakers, shorts, tee shirts, etc.), so that the ceremony is conducted in the dignified manner that it deserves.
