Acacia Fraternity was founded on May 12, 1904, by a group of 14 Freemasons attending the University of Michigan at Ann Arbor. The fraternity became International in 1988 at the 45th Conclave with the petitioning of two Canadian chapters the University of Western Ontario Chapter and the Carleton University Chapter.

Acacia, the only international fraternity to have a Greek word for a name and was established at Pitt-Johnstown chapter in 1973. The fraternity’s colors are black and old gold and the motto is “Human Service.” Acacia regularly sponsors blood drives at Pitt-Johnstown for the American Red Cross and participates in the annual March of Dimes “Jog-a-Thon.”

Picture
The Sprig of Acacia is the 13th simple symbol of the Masonic Brotherhood, and it is extended to the sons of Masons in the main organization when a fellow mason leaves time. According to tradition, the symbol promotes the obligation that the Masons must provide for the widow and children of their former colleagues and confidants. The junior Acacia fraternity takes upon some of this characteristic.

The Acacia flag was adopted in 1950. It consists of a vertical triband of gold-black-gold with the fraternity arms on the center (or on a fess cotised sable three right triangles of the field) and the name in gold Old English lettering in an arc at the top.
