Green Dragon Pond No. 16
United States
NJ

Welcome to Green Dragon Pond No. 16, our Lodge’s light-hearted, good-natured, and completely unofficial parody degree dedicated to fun, fellowship, and fraternity. Rooted in the historic “Ancient and Honorable Order of Turtles,” our version embraces humor, friendship, and Masonic bonding in a relaxed and welcoming atmosphere.
Turtle Lodge is open to Brothers and friends, offering a chance to unwind, laugh, and enjoy the lighter side of fraternal life. No ritual pressure, no seriousness—just good company, inside jokes, and the classic Turtle questions that test your quick wit more than your memory.
At Green Dragon Pond No. 16, Turtle Lodge gives new members, prospective members, and longtime Brothers a place to connect on equal footing while keeping the tradition of playful fraternal camaraderie alive.
Whether you're already a Turtle or hoping to become one, you’re invited to join us for the next gathering.
Remember: “You gotta stick your neck out to get ahead.” 🐢
If you’re interested in attending, reach out to the Master Turtle at OBLHistorian@gmail.com
