New members become Knights or Dames during an Investment ceremony, which is part of a Convent. St Andrew traditionally holds a Spring and a Fall Convent. These are usually weekend affairs with a Friday night reception, a Saturday morning Business Meeting, an afternoon Convent and an evening Banquet.
Potential members (Postulants) go through a period of training and then participate in a Postulant Vigil as part of the weekend ceremony. We ask that potential new members attend one investment ceremony before applying for membership, so they are fully aware of the process.
The initial cost to become a member is a $150.00 passage fee plus $350.00 for your mantle and insignia. Annual oblations (due in the following years) are currently $220.00.
