Why Become a Pythian

 

Our Order Knights of Pythias was founded in Friendship, Charity and Benevolence, which it proclaims as its cardinal principles - strives to gather into one mighty fraternity of  worthy men who appreciate the true meaning of friendship, who are cautions in word and deeds; who love the truth; who are brave in defending the right; whose honor is untarnished; whose sense of justice will prevent, to the best of their ability, a personal act or word injurious to the worthy; whose loyalty to principle, to family, to friend, to their country and to the constituted authority under which they enjoy citizenship is undoubted; and who, at all times, are prepared to do unto others as they would that others should do unto them.

 

Fraternity has proven its worth by its works, touching as it does the vital factors and forces in our many cities, towns and community in our continent. Knight of Pythias is one of the great organizations of fraternity, and has a large following in its membership, of the societies of its kind  in the Western Hemisphere.

 

When and where every Pythian seeks to make the world better, brighter and happier, that emphasizes the Golden Rule, that exalts manhood and character, that stress the best ideals of life and expresses love and sympathy by its mere service, that works for others rather than self, has a rightful claim to the esteem and cooperation of all good men everywhere.
