Mission Statement
Pride of the South Lodge No. 324 is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization which embodies an attractive system of morality, veiled in allegory and illustrated by symbols. The fraternity, founded upon principles established in the Holy Scriptures, strives to teach a man the duty he owes to God, his neighbor and to himself; but interferes neither with religion or politics as it prescribes the practice of virtues in the conduct of its business. The foundation is character. Its purpose is service. Its measure is giving. "Making Good Men Better” perpetuates its foundation. Its purpose is service, which is rendered to the people of Texas to improve their social, cultural and economic conditions. Its measure is giving, an act of unselfish sacrifice for the benefit of others.
Purpose
The purpose of Pride of the South Lodge No. 324 is to practice Freemasonry in accordance with immemorial usages of this Ancient and Honorable Craft, and to advance the moral and social interests of its membership’s honesty, industry and upright living. It cultivates the exercise of charity in its best and broadest sense, to assist the Widows and Orphans of its deceased members, to stimulate friendship, harmony and brotherly love and generally, to promote in its own way, the happiness of mankind. It is a fraternity of good men, linked and bound together by honorable and unbreakable bonds of friendship and virtue, and to accomplish the noble purpose it eschews all interest in fractional politics and sectarian religion and free from the dictation of both.
