For the Fun of It

What Do You Do In DeMolay?

The possibilities are endless. We do anything we want to do (within reason), because it is our Chapter. Our Advisors merely advise. They never tell us what to do, but they are there when we need someone experienced to help us out or when we just need a step in the right direction. Anything that we do, though, we have to plan. But it isn't that bad, because after you've worked hard to put something together, it makes it even more fun! Here are just a few things that we do...


Sports
Sports! Every year, there is a  statewide sports event in Wisconsin. Usually held in late August, it is called TBSO (Too Bad Summer's Over). We play Softball, Volleyball, Frisbee, sometimes even Tennis or a rousing game of Kartoshka! (Never heard of it? Well, then you'll have to show up to find out!!). The event lasts a full day with a cookout, and plenty of time to hang with your Brothers. Individual Chapters in the State hold all kinds of Sports Days and other athletic events as well through out the year.


Dramatics
In DeMolay, there are two ceremonies new members go through to join our organization. One of these is a play, which gives people who enjoy acting a chance to shine. The ceremony, called the DeMolay Degree, is a dramatic interpretation of our namesake, Jacques DeMolay, and his final trial before he was wrongfully executed for being loyal to his friends. Each year, we have a statewide competition, where we compete in the ceremonies of DeMolay to see which Chapter is the best performer.


Trips

  Every Chapter takes trips. Almost all Chapters go to the State Functions like Conclave and Sweetheart Weekend. Other Chapters plan more trips, like Skiing, Caving, Hiking, Camping, and going to the Beach. We even have a cabin, up near Rhinelander with acres of trails, mountain bikes, a fire pit, and a private lake!! Chances are, if your Chapter wants to go somewhere, you can plan a fund raiser to pay for it and go!





Hanging Out
The best thing about DeMolay is just hanging out. DeMolays are all friends, and we get together and hang out all the time. Whether it's going to the park and tossing around a ball, going to a movie together, or going over to one of the guy's houses and playing cards, we enjoy just hanging out and being with our friends and brothers.









Anything You Want!Anything You Want!
You want to do it? Chances are, you can! Because DeMolay is your organization, you decide what we do. Don't you want to be a part of a great organization that let's you plan your activities and have some input in what you do? That's the best part of our organization: the fact that we are in charge of what we do!
