Membership is not limited to the sons or relatives of Freemasons, but to any boy of good character in the proper age range. He must be recommended by a Master Mason or a fellow Pythagoran. The Order of Pythagorans is not a Junior Masonic Order, but is merely under Masonic supervison.

The paramount aim of the Order is to serve the Youth of our community with a well organized and supervised program to promote health, social activity, educational, vocational, character, and all-around development of boys throughout Ohio, while building better sons of today, and men of tomorrow.

The Ritual is the focal point of all of the Order's programming. Through it, the candidate in his initiation into the Order is presented impressive lessons. This investiure thus attempts to symbolize and teach Reverance for God, Love and Honor his Parents, Righteous Thinking, Purity, Patriotism, Toleration, Courtesy, Friendship and Constancy. A Pythagorans aim is to become a better son, a better youth and citizen than ever before.

The Companions hold meetings in what are called "Chapters". Each Chapter is hosted by an one or more Lodges, who provide advisors from their own Lodge membership. These Chapters, throughout the state, are divided into Districts. Each District has an annual district meeting and the all the Chapters in the State meet annually for a Grand Session which last three days. Many workshops, athlectic activities and awards programs are held at these Distict Meetings and Grand Sessions. Also at the Grand Session the Companions participate in election of new Grand Council Officers, a banquet, a Coronation Ball and Divine Service.
