Becoming a Member

Note from our Registrar What to Expect How to Join Resources Forms for Membership

The Ohio Society is always delighted to welcome new members, or transfers from other chapters.

This year our Ohio Society was awarded in Washington DC from our National Biennial Council the distinction of honorable mention in the 2022-2024 National Membership Drive. We added the fifth highest percentage of new members-26 new members at 13.33%. Our 3 categories of members start with our Junior Dames aged 0-17, Young Dames aged 18-35 and Dames aged >36. Our Junior Dames must have a family member Dame aged >18 in good standing representing them as a member.

Every candidate is in a different stage with finding their line of ascent, collecting their proofs or waiting for a colonial admission once their lineage papers are turned in. As Registrar I will continue to scan our documents to preserve our history here in Ohio. We also host yearly fall and spring events for our new members, candidates and prospectives. As always, I look forward to working with our Candidates and love meeting new people. Please contact me at any time for more information on membership!
