About AMOS & Centaur Sanctorum

AMOS is the playground of Odd Fellows. While it is not officially a part of the Independent Order of Odd Fellows organization, all its members are male members of the Odd Fellows. AMOS was created in 1924 through the combination of the OOH&P (Oriental Order of Humility and Perfection - founded in 1880) and several other Odd Fellows side degrees.

It has two degrees:
Humility (or Samaritan) Degree
Perfection (or Sheik) Degree

The seal of AMOS is an owl sitting on a pyramid with the words "WE NEVER SLEEP" above and "Xerxes" below and a scimitar at the bottom. It is organized into local Sanctorums of which Centaur #259 is one. Members wear a fez with different colors and different color tassels indicating rank.

It is chartered at the Centre Lodge #153 lodge hall in Pleasant Gap, but meets at various places within the region so that all members have equal access.
