Before John Wayne Chapter there was LaPorte Chapter in the late 1940's and early 1950's. The Chapter went dark until 1970. On August 22, 1970 LaPorte Chapter received Letters Temporary and began operations, with the Charter being dedicated (in picture at right) in January 1972. The Chapter operated in LaPorte until the mid 1980's.

Flower Power, Mother's Club's, and the rest! Our very first scrapbook starts on day one, August 22, 1970, with our first installation of officers and our Letters Temporary. The scrapbook has been scanned into ten sections as PDF documents to make it easier to view. Each section is in chronological order and follows the original scrapbook page for page. The scrapbook ends in the year 1976.

Chapter Moves And Changes Name
John Wayne DeMolay Degree Team 1989
The chapter moved to Seabrook in 1985 and was renamed John Wayne Chapter, and thrived in the late 1980's and early 1990's. The chapter membership fluctuated during the mid to late 1990's, some better than others, until declining around the year 2000. The chapter then moved to the Friendswood area and did well for the next several years until declining again in 2007. With the sponsorship of Alvin Lodge #762 A.F. & A.M. in late 2009, the chapter was moved to Alvin in 2010.
