  What Is DeMolay?

DeMolay Spirit



Winning the Spirit Can is a proud
moment for Don R. Roberts Chapter.

"DO YOU HAVE THE EGG?"

"THE FLOWERS BLOOM IN SPRING!"

"MOUNTAIN ... WHAT? MOUNTAIN PARK!"

"ATTIUDE CHECK ... DEMOLAY!"

What do these seemingly nonsensical statements have in common? They were all chants used in the Conclave 2003 Spirit Contest.

Conclave 2003 offered many vast and varied activities for the young men of Georgia DeMolay. While many of these activities were formal and full of important business decisions which would help guide Georgia DeMolay over the next three years, Conclave wasn't all business and politics. In the true spirit of DeMolay, a spirit of brotherhood and comraderie, we saw woven into the Conclave environment a constant thread of fun.


Can Man is more than just aluminum and a
nice paint job.... He is also quite the ladies man.

Since the creation of the Spirit Can in 2000 by then State Master Councilor Adam Roof, chapters have been competing throughout the year at various state events for the Spirit Can and the bragging rights that accompany it. What wins a chapter the can? Spirit, brotherhood, teamwork, creativity, and ... well, ya gotta be LOUD! Mountain Park Chapter brought "Can Man" to many events to help them capture the Spirit Can. Can Man, a local hero, helped Mountain Park Chapter win the Spirit Can for three years straight in 2000, 2001, and 2002. Can Man is always a crowd-pleaser, and his many appearances at state events always livened up the members in attendance.

However, during the 2003 Conclave, Don R. Roberts Chapter stepped up to the plate and showed Georgia DeMolay who had the most Chapter spirit. The entire state was drawn into their main cheer, "Do you have the egg?" which of course carries the extremely logical and intuitive response of, "The flowers bloom in the spring" (huh?). Those who know the story behind this cheer will see that Don R. is an exciting place to be around the state.

During this next year the other chapters will no doubt try to take back the Spirit Can, and we will see how it all ends. But until then, Don R. used their "flower power" to capture the can and left all the other Chapters with "egg" on their faces!
