Write a letter to the Lodge Secretary: explain what you think the obligation means, describe how you’ve been fulfilling the obligation in your unit and in your daily life, explain how you’ve been using your understanding of the Ordeal to aid in this service, describe specific plans for continuing service in the future, and tell what the order of the arrow means to you and why you are seeking Brotherhood Membership.
