MILITARY ORDER OF DEVIL DOGS

MAIN PURPOSE

The Fun and Honor Society of the Marine Corps League.

To promote good fellowship amongst the members of different Marine Corps League Detachments. The Order provides amusement and entertainment at all gatherings of the League, when and where advisable, preserves and strengthens the principles and ideals of the League, and maintains true allegiance to the United States of America and its Constitution and laws. It fosters and extends American institutions of freedom and defends America against all enemies foreign and domestic. The Order is also VERY active in raising funds for children's hospitals, and associated charities.

WHO BELONGS

The Military Order of Devil Dogs is made up only of Members of the Marine Corps League who are in good standing, and have been member of his/hers Detachment for a minimum of 1 year. The Order only accepts the most worthy of League Members.

HOW TO JOIN

You must be a paid-up member in good standing in the Marine Corps League. The applicant must be active in his/her Detachment in the League, and must request membership in the Order. He/She must be recommended by the Detachment Commandant and be sponsored by two Devil Dogs or Pedigreed Devil Dogs. The applicant is then interviewed by the members of the Pound at a Pound Growl (a meeting is called a Growl). Supreme Growl (National) Grand Growl (State) If accepted, the applicant must undergo an initiation and swearing-in ceremony.

ORGANIZATION

The Pound is on a local level and is made up of members of Marine Corps League Detachments. On the State level there is the Pack, and on the National level there is a Kennel. There are three different degrees in the Order. The lowest degree is that of a Pup identified by a black collar The next degree is that of a Devil Dog indentified by a red collar The highest degree is that of a Pedigreed Devil Dog identified by a gold collar Members of a Pound must be a minimum of one year in each degree in order to be advanced. The ribbon is worn around the neck and a Dog Tag is attached to it. A Devil Dog who has qualified can only be advanced to Pedigree Devil Dog at a Kennel Supreme Growl during a National Convention. In special cases when a qualified Devil Dog is medically unable to attend a Supreme Growl a waver can be requested for his/hers promotion to Pedigree Devil Dog.

The head of the Pound (Local) is called Sir Poundkeeper. The head of the Pack (State) is the Worthy Pack Leader. The head of the Kennel is also the head of all Devil Dogs at the National level and is called Honorable Chief Devil Dog.

The Order's many charitable donations not only help people in need, but also build good public relations for the Order, the League, and the United States Marine Corps.
