JOINING THE CHICAGO SOCIETY
The Constitution of the Chicago Society provides that:
- A condition of membership shall be absolute and unqualified
loyalty to the Constitution and Government of the United States of
America and respect of local authority.
- Each member is encouraged to support the Society activities,
events and fund-raising projects to the best of his ability.
- Any male of Polish lineage or affinity, over 21 years of age, of
good character and reputation, whose acceptance will add to the
welfare and progress of the Chicago Society and who is a citizen of
the United States residing in Chicago or its suburbs may be admitted
to membership in the Society at the discretion of the Board of
Directors.
The membership is composed of business and professional men.
Applicants should qualify in that regard, although the definition of
those fields is liberally applied for applicants of exceptional
character and achievement.
Applicants for membership are required to have two sponsors who are
already members in good standing. In the event that a man who otherwise
qualifies is not acquainted with any of our members, but is interested
in attaining membership, he may contact
us and we will arrange for our Personnel Director to communicate
with him. An invitation to one of our meetings may
present an opportunity to obtain sponsorship.
Following sponsorship, an
application is presented to the Board of
Directors by the Personnel Director. If approved, it is announced in
the Forum, our monthly publication available only to members. The
application is then voted upon by the general membership at the next
monthly meeting. After an affirmative vote, the applicant is invited to
a meeting for official initiation as a member.
Members are known to each other as "Brother," befitting the
fraternal nature of the Chicago Society, Lodge 1450 of the Polish
National Alliance. For inquiries regarding membership,
please contact our
Personnel Director
