About Us - Knights of Pythagoras
History
In 1958, Past Grand Master Clark S. Brown, under his leadership and devotions instituted the North Carolina Council Order of the Knights of Pythagoras with Brother B. N. Cook of Winston-Salem, as the first Grand Knight Director. The first Council organized was the J. H. Young Memorial Council #1. After a few years, the North Carolina Order of Knights of Pythagoras became inactive.
In 1975, late Past Grand Master Herbert Bell Shaw re-instituted the North Carolina Council Order of the Knights of Pythagoras under the leadership of Brother Joseph L. Pillow, the second Grand Knight Director.
The first Assemblage of the North Carolina Council Order of the Knights of Pythagoras was held in Fayetteville, North Carolina at the Grand Lodge Communications in 1976. Silver Square Council #1 was chartered July 10, 1975.
