Degree Of Pocahantas

The Degree of Pocahontas is the women’s auxiliary of the Improved Order of Red Men. The organization takes its name from the celebrated character in Native American history, Pocahontas, daughter of the powerful Native American Chief Powhatan of the Algonquin Indian Tribe.

The Degree of Pocahontas (DOP) patterns itself after the virtues of this Native American princess — those virtues of teaching kindness, love, charity, and loyalty to one’s nation. The Degree of Pocahontas, as a separate organization, engages in fraternal and social affairs and provides an excellent program for women seeking an ideal fraternal association. We operate under our national precepts of Freedom, Friendship and Charity and we proudly support charities within our local communities, as well as supporting Homes for our Troops and Founding Forward as our National Charities.
