What are the requirements to become a member?
You must be recommended by a current Elk in good standing.
If you don't know an Elk go to your closest Elk Lodge and explain that you want to join and they will take care of you.
It takes about a month from the time you apply until you become a member.
Maybe some lodges are more "correct" than others - as prescribed by the Grand Lodge.
Sponsored by a member and recommended by *two* others.
(The "two others" are really just a formality - but they will have to sign that they recommend you).
*NO* religious affiliation - but believe in God and be a US citizen.
Attend: A pre-initiation info meeting which explains what/who the Elks are, what they do, etc.
Initiation meeting - which is really just another formality - no "secret stuff" - the various leaders give a little speech and usually you get to introduce yourself to the membership present.
BTW - the Elks are *very* involved in supporting their local community, charitable and youth events, visiting Veterans hospitals, etc.
Some lodges have more facilities and/or more active than others - a lot depends on the population of the area where they are located.
