Membership

Membership is handled through individual chapters. The North Carolina State Society Daughters of the American Colonists welcomes your interest. Contact us and we can help you find a chapter near you.

New members become part of a chapter, the state Society, and the National Society, which is one of the largest of the nation’s hereditary organizations. Every member’s interest and participation is vital to aid the Society in continuing to move ahead and to grow in strength and achievement.

Any woman who is a citizen of the United States of America, is of good moral character and has attained her eighteenth year, shall be eligible to membership, provided that she shall be acceptable to the Society and shall meet the requirements. Eligibility consists of proof of lineal descent from the men and women who were actual residents of America when it was under foreign government as colonies and who rendered civil or military service to the American Colonies prior to July 4, 1776.
