Frequently Asked Questions

1) Why do we need another recognition program?

When the Moose Fraternity unified on May 1, 2021, female members began serving on lodge, district and association boards and committees. Unfortunately, this service did not count toward either of the two longstanding Higher Degree programs of the Women of the Moose (Academy, Star, College) or of the men’s (Moose Legion, Fellowship, Pilgrim). In addition, nearly 500,000 male members of The Moose were not part of the current Higher Degree program. We needed a new recognition program that every member could be a part of.

2) When will I be notified if I qualify for the Moose Preferred status?

Moose International runs a qualifier report on the first of every month. You will be notified during the month that you meet all five of the criteria listed.

3) Do I have to track all this myself?

Yes and No. The only thing you have to track is your volunteer hours. Once you attend a Lodge Orientation presentation, your Administrator will record your attendance on your membership record. Moose International’s member database system will track all other criteria.

4) How are volunteer hours verified?

In the Moose Fraternity, we value honesty and integrity. We trust that each member can accurately log their volunteer hours without assistance from their lodge Administrator or Moose International.
