Muscogee Lodge #116

3-Time Section E7 Lodge of the Year

2026 Section Inductions Experience

The Section Inductions Experience provides all participating lodges (such as those in our section) an opportunity to learn about the new OA induction process being rolled-out for use in 2027. Each lodge must "See One + Do One + Offer One" (in that order).

  1. At this event, a core team from our lodge attends an induction experience as participants (“See One”).
  2. Next, our trained core team facilitates the induction for existing members (“Do One”). This event will be announced at a future date.
  3. Last, our core team conducts the first induction for newly elected members (“Offer One”). This event will be announced at a future date.

To help inform all OA lodges, a new newsletter, the Lamp Lighter will keep lodges informed as the new Induction Experience rolls out across the country. Also, you can check out more information, presented to lodge leadership in a recent webinar.
