The Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks

As an Elks scholar, you’ve joined the Elks family. When you’re ready, we encourage you to take the next step, and join the Elks!

Watch the video below to see why Elks scholar Erika Barger became an Elks member.

Who are the Elks? Elks are community. No matter where you go in the country, an Elks Lodge is right around the corner. With more than 900,000 members and 2,000 Lodges nationwide, Elks are providing charitable services that help build stronger communities. Join us in service to your community!

Community. When you join the Elks, you’re joining a community network. After college, many Elks scholars move to new places for work or family and don’t know many people. As an Elk, you’ll always be welcome at any Elks Lodge, no matter where you move. Become an Elk to meet new friends and connect with your community!

Service. A core component of being an Elk is a dedication to service. After college, joining the Elks is a great way to remain active in your community. The Elks offer a variety of opportunities for giving back to the community. For a list, click here.
