"Red Sox" Tradition

 

The "Red Sox Tradition" may be as old as the Chapter itself. No one knows why or when the tradition was started, but it is known to have been in existence continuously since the 1920's. A candidate for initiation into Albert Pike Chapter No. 58 should wear red socks for his initiation into the Order of DeMolay. It is the duty of each member of the Chapter to inform a petitioner for the Order of DeMolay to wear red socks to the initiation. This is the oldest of traditions in Albert Pike Chapter No. 58. Do your part as a member of the Chapter to keep this tradition alive.
