Standing as of October 1st, 2025
Recruiting a new member into the Order is one of the most important and noteworthy accomplishments that any Knight can achieve. New members keep our organization vibrant and ensure our success in the years ahead. For the proposer, however, there is more to recruitment than just asking a man to join.
When a proposer recruits a member, he will receive 500 VIP Points to use at Knights Gear. Please visit the Knights Gear website and select items that your points will cover. NOTE: 500 VIP Points are equal to $3.00.
Please fill out the VIP Recruitment Rewards Points Order Form and send the points and order form to:

"Go for Two" - Supreme Knight Patrick Kelly challenged each of us to invite two men to join the order. Any Knight who recruits two new members between September 1st and December 31st will receive an entry into a $1,500 drawing. If someone invites 4 men, they receive 2 entries, etc... This is a nice incentive on top of the VIP points that a member can earn at KnightsGear.com for bringing men into the order.
