Socium Award
In 2019 Past Grand Commander of the Grand Commandery Knight Templar Stenrick Adams and his wife presented a ceremonial sword to the Organization of Triangles, Incorporated. The Triangle that initiates the most new members between June 1st and May 31st of each year will earn this honor and the right to bring the sword home to their respective lodge. The award was given the name, the ‘Socium Award’ and the victorious Triangle deemed as being inducted into the ‘Socia Court’. In Latin the word ‘socium’ means united or joining together, and it was thought that this perfectly describes the special relationship between Grand Commandery Knights Templar and the Organization of Triangles, Inc..
