=== HISTORY ===

Early in the year 1876, a few of the members of [http://masonicgenealogy.com/MediaWiki/index.php?title=RIMtVernon4 Mt. Vernon Lodge], believing they could do better work and increase their interest in Masonry by the formation of a new Lodge, asked for and received Dispensation. Through the kind assistance of [http://masonicgenealogy.com/MediaWiki/index.php?title=RIStJohn1P St. John’s] Lodge and others of the Fraternity, Adelphoi Lodge No. 33 was born.

The Dispensation was granted on February 5, 1876 and the Lodge was chartered on May 15, 1876 and constituted under the direction of Grand Master [http://masonicgenealogy.com/MediaWiki/index.php?title=RIGMNVanSlyck Nicholas Van Slyck] on June 12th. Thus came into existence a Lodge intended to be what might be termed a “Family Lodge”, wherein the members might be bound in social ties much more closely than would be possible in a Lodge with a larger membership.

Adelphoi Lodge, probably the most social Masonic organization of any in the State, has abundantly proven that those earnest members who, years ago, thought such a lodge to be necessary really the Lodge better than they knew. No Lodge in this jurisdiction has been more harmonious or more prosperous, and no Lodge has more nearly attained the object sought than Adelphoi.

While it is the desire of the members that this shall always be a small Lodge, they believe that as small as she is, this Lodge has done good work and has well exemplified the teachings of our Ancient Order and its members, while giving due credit and praise to others, have not been selected for their financial or great intellectual ability, but to illustrate to the Fraternity and to others the significance of its name – Adelphoi — a band of brothers.
