OA candidates are encouraged to attend the Ordeal event hosted by their district’s chapter but are welcome to attend the event that best suits their location and schedule.

For Candidates, the event cost is $50.00, which includes food for the weekend, your OA sash, one Tipisa Lodge flap, dues for 2022, and your OA Handbook. To register, please click the button title "Candidate Registration."

A need-based scholarship application is available (Click here for the Online Scholarship Application) This application must be completed 14 days prior to the event. This application is secure and is only sent to the Lodge Adviser.

Nefketeh Chapter, serving Riverside District, will host an Ordeal event on Jan. 7-9 at Camp Oklawaha.  Located in Sebastian, FL (Google Map), this OA induction event may be especially helpful to OA candidates from Osceola (Wahitlaw Chapter) and Challenger (Kikape Chapter) districts.
