Membership
Become an Elk
As an Elk, you will be joining with millions of fine and noble American Elks who have helped better the destiny and way of life for countless thousands in our country for over a century and a quarter. Elks seek to bring into our family those who delight in wholesome associations with congenial companions, who possess a deep sense of patriotism, fair play, and dedication to noble causes – a person who finds fulfillment in serving humanity, aiding those in distress and proving themselves to be true friends to all in need.
Prospective members must be sponsored by an existing Member from any Elks Lodge. The Elk Member and prospect must fill out an application together and submit it to the Lodge Secretary along with a $50.00 initiation fee. Or find a membership inquiry form on the Elks National website.
