ORIENT CHAPTER NO. 31
Instituted September 12, 1890
Constituted December 31, 1890
A history of the Chapter compiled in 1908 by Sister Haliday F. Oaks, P.M. reports as follows: "When the formal petition for a Charter was accepted by Grand Chapter, sixty five names were enrolled, twenty-five couples and fifteen unappropriate blessings. Naming the Chapter was discussed long and earnestly. Nominations for names were received - Minerva, Bethany, Louis Maynard, Cecelia and Orient. The formal ballot resulted in Orient being chosen." Having reference to the East Orient seems particularly appropriate.
