The Chapters of The Society of Our Sacred Honor (SOSH) are the heart and soul of our organization. They embody the mission, vision, and values of The Society by serving as hubs for civic engagement, leadership development, and community service. Each Chapter operates at the local level, connecting Members with their communities while aligning with the overarching goals of SOSH.
At the foundation of SOSH are its three Sacred Principles:
⦁ Patriotism: A deep love for America and respect for its ideals, history, and cultural heritage.
⦁ Camaraderie/Unity: Building meaningful relationships and fostering a spirit of collaboration and mutual respect among all Members.
⦁ Honor: Upholding integrity, accountability, and selfless service in all actions and decisions.
SOSH envisions a nationwide movement that celebrates America’s legacy, engages its present challenges, and inspires its future. Through the efforts of its Chapters, SOSH seeks to build a more unified, empowered, and civically engaged society.
A Chapter is the smallest organizational unit of SOSH but plays the most critical role in fulfilling its mission. Chapters are responsible for translating The Society’s values into tangible actions that directly impact local communities. They serve as:
⦁ Hubs for Leadership: Providing Members with opportunities to lead, grow, and make a difference.
⦁ Centers for Civic Engagement: Facilitating programs and discussions that promote informed and active participation in democratic processes.
⦁ Engines for Community Service: Organizing initiatives that address local needs and contribute to the betterment of society.
⦁ Keepers of Tradition and Innovation: Balancing the preservation of America’s past with the pursuit of forward-thinking solutions to modern challenges.
A Chapter is more than just a group—it is a community within a community, bound by shared principles, goals, and a commitment to service.
Chapters play an integral role in achieving SOSH’s mission. They:
⦁ Serve as the primary vehicles for executing the AmeriCare Initiatives at the grassroots level.
⦁ Strengthen the connection between Members and their communities, fostering a sense of belonging and purpose.
⦁ Amplify The Society’s national goals by contributing local successes and innovations.
Each Chapter operates under the guidance of the State Chapter and the Grand Chapter to ensure alignment, support, and accountability.
