DEMOLAY'S SEVEN CORE VALUES

Our values are rooted in seven core beliefs: love of parents, reverence, courtesy, comradeship, fidelity, cleanness, and patriotism.
These seven values of a DeMolay help prepare a member for a life of leadership and success.

Filial Love

One of the great lessons of DeMolay is the lesson of filial love. DeMolay members cherish their parents and hold family teachings close to their hearts. Our members strive to repay the love and care of their parents through kindness and civility.

Reverence

An individual's religious beliefs are their own. We encourage our members to carry out their teachings while also respecting the views of others, no matter how different they may be from their own.

Courtesy

A DeMolay is kind and courteous toward others, not only in public, but also at home and among friends.

Comradeship

Comradeship binds our members together so they may build a lifelong brotherhood. To be a friend is one of the highest honors, but being a brother involves strong ties of loyalty and trust.

Fidelity

Fidelity means faithful and loyal to all our obligations in life. By being faithful, our members earn the respect and trust of everyone with whom they come in contact.

Cleanness

Cleanness extends beyond physical hygiene. It encompasses being purposeful with our words, careful of our actions, and respectful with our thoughts.

Patriotism

DeMolay encourages each member to be patriotic towards his country and mindful of those who serve to protect it, whether through service or by being an exemplary citizen.
