Alpha Council #97 AMD requires that all members be a Master Mason in a lodge recognized by the Grand Lodge of Ohio. In addition all members must also be a Royal Arch Mason in a Royal Arch Chapter within Ohio jurisdiction. We encourage support of the lodge and expect members to be active in and support their local York Rite programs. The primary membership goal of the Allied Masonic Degrees is to actively engage in research on Masonic subjects and to support the York Rite bodies.
Alpha Council #97 is an invitational only organization and will only consist of 27 regular members.
Attire for the meetings are business casual unless so directed in advance by the Sovereign Master.
