Welcome to
John Wayne Chapter
Code of the Gentleman
"Without a strict observance of the fundamental Code of Honor, no man, no matter how "polished," can be considered a gentleman. The honor of a gentleman demands the inviolability of his word, and the incorruptibility of his principles. He is the descendant of the knight, the crusader; he is the defender of the defenseless and champion of justice.... or he is not a Gentleman."
Taken from Virginia Military Institute's "Code of the Gentleman."

Go-Karting Is A Rush
Dickinson, TX - September 11, 2021 All eight active members of John Wayne Chapter No. 3667, along with five prospective members showed up for the Go-Karting Rush Party held today. The group met at Alvin Lodge No. 762 A.F. & A.M., and the prospective members were shown around the chapter room by the active members. They then held a question and answer session, while their parents met with advisors in the dining hall. After the questions were answered, the group broke up and reconvened at the Go kart track in Dickinson for some big time fun. After the racing was done, the chapter had a pizza dinner with the prospects. A great time was had by all. A huge thanks to Junior Councilor, Mikel Yap, and his membership committee for putting this great event together.
