Ancient Mystic Order of Samaritans
The Ancient Mystic Order of Samaritans (AMOS) is an unofficial appendant body to the Independent Order of Odd Fellows in the United States and Canada. It is recognized as the "playground for Odd Fellowship" by the Sovereign Grand Lodge of the Independent Order of Odd Fellows〔(Samaritans to Hold Annual Convention in California ), ''Schenectady Gazette'' Schenectady: 14 July 1954, p. 7.〕 and is known for engaging in public and private hijinks and spectacle, all in the name of good, clean fun. AMOS is open to male Odd Fellows in good standing over the age of 18.〔〔(Ahab Sanctorum to Initiate Large Class in Groton ), ''The Evening Day'' New London: 12 January 1928, p. 4.〕 but has a close relationship with Ladies of the Orient ("LOTO") which is only open to women.〔(2 Women Join IOOF Fun Unit ), ''Reading Eagle'' Reading: 13 Feb 1968, p. 25.〕〔(Samaritans Begin Rome Convention ), ''Rome News-Tribune'' Rome: 8 Aug 1983, p. 1.〕 The two organizations typically meet at the same time and share in social events with each other.〔(New Members To Be Initiated By Fun Order ), ''Reading Eagle'' Reading: 10 Apr 1969, p. 10.〕 Like many other primarily social appendant bodies to fraternal organizations, the rituals and initiations of AMOS have a Middle-Eastern theme and the official regalia is a fez.〔
The Order has existed in a variety of forms and under multiple names. It was first founded in 1876 as the Order Order of Humility (OOH).〔''Ottawa Journal'' Ottawa: 9 May 1936.〕 In 1901, the Supreme Orient governing body was formed, now known as Supreme Sanctorum and the name of the organization changed to the Oriental Order of Humility and Perfection (OOH&P) due to the addition of a second degree. Over the next decade, the OOH&P gradually merged with several other similar Odd Fellows appendant bodies formed in the late 19th and early 20th centuries: the Imperial Order of Muscovites, the Pilgrim Knights of Oriental Splendor, the Veiled Prophets of Bagdad, and the Ancient Mystic Order of Cabirians. The name of the combined body was first chosen to be the United Order of Splendor and Perfection and later changed to the present name of Ancient Mystic Order of Samaritans as efforts to bring more units from Odd Fellows appendant bodies into one entity continued. During the evolution of the Order and its constituent bodies, names, titles and regalia have also changed numerous times. Although the name of the organization implies a limitation to the United States and Canada, at one time there were also subordinate sanctorums in Cuba and the Panama Canal Zone.〔
