Pythian Sisters
The Pythian Sisters, an independent
auxiliary of the Order Knights of Pythias. It was founded on October 23, 1888 with the first Temple located in Warsaw, IN.
The color combinations of the Pythian Sisters emblem are arranged around the room. The
colors: White, representing Purity; Red, for Love; Yellow, representing Equality; and Blue, symbolic of
Fidelity. These principals are the foundation that the Pythian Sisters have built their Temples.
To be eligible for membership in a Temple, a woman must not be less than the age
of sixteen (16) of good moral character, and be a believer in a Supreme Being. The Pythian Sisters have sponsored in the past
United Cerebral Palsy in both the United States and Canada, and currently signed on to help work with the Special Olympics.
The organization as well helps all other charities and those that are in need of assistance.
The Pythian Sisters maintain a youth organization with like purposes called "The
Sunshine Girls" for girls ages 8-20. For further information on the Pythian Sisters please contact us and we will get information
