OES #414

If you are looking for a way to do something for others, and have a great time in the process, you are at the right place. We are a fraternal organization that is always on the lookout for adults of all ages who are trying to better themselves and the community around them.

Our Values

We strive to live our lives by the enduring beliefs of Brotherly Love, Relief, and Truth, along with certain core values:

Friendship: We are the largest fraternal organization in the world to which both women and men can belong. With Chapters in almost all 50 states and in 27 countries around the world, members can go anywhere and know that they can find friends and a helpful hand when they are in need.

Community Service: Our members are encouraged to help one another and to reach out to their communities. Members are active in many community-based projects that provide for those requiring assistance.

Diversity: The members of our Order reflect the social, cultural, educational, ethnic, and religious diversity of the community around them. We value each other’s strengths and opinions.

Charity: As an organization, we raise funds to aid our members in need. We support cancer and heart research, provide college/university scholarships for students regardless of age or membership status, and financially support many other charities. We fund and operate a Senior Living Community for our older members who belong to Indiana Chapters.
