Who can Post Items?

One of the nice things about moving over to a blog is that we can allow for multiple authors to share outstanding success stories.  In the ideal world we would love to have live blogs from State Conclaves (Conventions), sporting events, as well as blog reports on what type of activities and events your chapter is doing.  In addition we'll take reflective pieces on what DeMolay means to you, or on something outstanding that you think brothers will want to hear about. Maybe you have a great DeMolay history that you want to share.

It's Cornier than Ethanol, but we can't spell success without u!

If you have a post feel free to email it to DeMolayPride@gmail.com. If you want to be able to blog post your state conclave (convention) or a similar event you need to submit the following:

Event Name:
What Your Role Is at the event
How Frequently you think you can post.
250 words on why you're proud to be a DeMolay.

There are some caveats:
1) If the 250 words on your DeMolay pride has spelling errors or severe grammatical errors you will be "moderated" and then allowed to post live.
2) It cannot be used to promote one DeMolay over another. Say you have two DeMolays named Chris and Rich both of whom are running for State Master Councilor.  You cannot write positively about one and not the other.
3) No plagiarism or foul language.
4) If more than one DeMolay applies to blog the same event we will take multiple blog entries.

A New Blog, Same Great Message

DeMolay is outstanding!

It brings conservatives like Trent Lott and Liberals like Bill Clinton together.
It brings Yankees and Red Sox Fans together.
It brings a young man from Rural Maine together with a young man from Urban Los Angeles.
It brings first generation Americans with third generation Americans.
It brings together people from all different creeds, backgrounds, racial and ethnic composition together.
It brings the Star Wars Groupies with the Trekers. 
Why? Because we all share that common bond of taking a solemn obligation to be better sons, loyal comrades and better men together surrounded by seven burning candles with a book of sacred law, school books and our nation's flag standing in the north east corner of the lodge room.

When we started the DeMolay month facebook challenge our goal was to highlight the pride that we should feel in the legacy and history of DeMolay.  We quickly realized that not only do we have an outstanding past, our future is shining bright thanks to the outstanding things our young men, our chapters, our advisors and our alumni are doing.  For the past couple of months we've been highlighting via facebook status messages the great things going on in our order.  However, there's more than 420 characters of success going on, hence our new blog.  We hope you will come back often to read and see the great things that are going on.  This blog will give you many reasons to be a Proud DeMolay.
