The Elks Ritual
| The initiation Ritual is not just
a tradition it is the heart of Elkdom it defines who we are, how we
should conduct our lives and why we do the things we do as Elks.
Properly exemplified it provides the new member with a road map of
how to be an effective Elk and a faithful productive member of
society. We practice the Ritual so that we can be more effective in exemplifying its teachings and better prepare new members to become contributing active Elks. Like any activity intended to have a positive impressive and long lasting effect preparation is the key. Only when we as Elks are willing to give the time to preparation do we demonstrate the importance of the content of our message. Our Ritual contests provide a means for Elks who have prepared to exemplify the teachings of Elkdom to be rewarded for their time and effort and to be recognized for their contribution to the future of Elkdom.
