The Award of Merit
Introduced at Acacia's Golden Anniversary celebrations in 1954, the Award of Merit is
one of Acacia's highest honors. It is given to "brothers who have given of their time and
substance unstintingly for the promotion and furtherance of Acacia, both nationally and
locally, and brothers who have rendered outstanding service in their chosen fields, and have
attained high position therein, thus exemplifying the motto of Acacia, human service, and
the teachings of the fraternity, which constantly admonish our members to prepare themselves
as educated men to take a more active part in their communities."
