There is one main General or Regular Chapter meeting each month. The Chapter is opened and closed according to ritual. This ritual is designed to remind all members of the purpose of the Order and the virtues all members aspire to follow. The rest of the meeting concentrates on business matters such as the minutes of previous meetings, correspondence, financial status etc. and then depending on the time of year, a service may be held to celebrate Christmas, Easter, Anzac Day or any other events.

In between the Regular meetings, various Committee meetings may be held to address Chapter business in more detail and to provide recommendations to the General meeting.

Each Chapter determines what day of the month their meetings will be held. Some Chapters meet in the evening and others meet during the day.
