We hope that this web site helps you to know us a little better and understand even more about the Order of DeMolay, the worlds greatest fraternity for young men!

Salisbury Chapter, Order of DeMolay was chartered in 1924. We were sponsored by the Salisbury York Rite Bodies. Currently, our sponsoring bodies are Wicomico Lodge, #91 A.F. & A.M., and Centennial Lodge, #221 A.F. & A.M., both located in Salisbury, Md. We meet on the 1st and 3rd and 5^th Wednesdays of every month at the Salisbury Masonic Temple located at 110 N. Division Street in Salisbury. All of our meetings begin at 7:30 p.m. We meet year round. Some of our distinguished alumni include: Michael W. Farlow, Past Maryland State Master Councilor, former Town Councilman from Pittsville, Maryland and currently an Assistant State?s Attorney for Worcester County; Sampson G. Vincent, Deputy State's Attorney for Wicomico County; Davis R. Ruark, State's Attorney for Wicomico County; the Honorable James A. Kenney, III, Judge of Maryland's Court of Special Appeals; and U.S. Senator Paul S. Sarbanes.

The Order of DeMolay is the world's greatest and largest fraternity for young men between the ages of 12 and 21. There are chapters in all fifty states, as well in eight foreign countries. Our main goal is to help make us better,while we are still young men, which will in turn help us to become good adults. We do not discriminate against any one because of their race. Members must love and serve God, but other than that, their religious opinions are their own. In our Order, we base our teachings on our Seven Cardinal Virtues: Brotherly Love, Reverence for Sacred Things, Courtesy, Comradeship, Fidelity, Cleanness and Patriotism.

Salisbury Chapter is very active. Salisbury Chapter enjoys going bowling. Salisbury Chapter has visited our nation's capital several times,one time receiving a v.i.p. tour of the Capitol Building itself arranged by Senior DeMolay Senator Paul Sarbanes. We enjoy going on field trips to state functions and ritual competitions. In the past, one or more members of our Chapter have competed individually in the Region II Ritual Competition. Salisbury has been named as co-State Champion in Chapter Proficiency and co- Region II Mid-Atlantic Tournament of Champions The M.S.A.D.C. Conclave is held annually on the campus of Salisbury State University making it very easy for our members to attend.
