Aims of the Order of the Augustan Eagle
The Order of the Augustan Eagle was established to serve as the court of honor of The Augustan Society, Inc. This body has also been charged with setting the privileges of the members of the Society and establishing the order of precedence. The members of the Order of the Augustan Eagle will sit annually to conduct their business. Members use the postnominals "OAE" within the Society and do not use FAS as that is a prerequisite. It is appropriate that they continue to use the postnominals "FAS" for all purposes outside the Society.
Note: This group is not an order of chivalry, nor should any claim to such be countenanced.
Membership
Prerequistes to Membership in the Order are:
- Membership in good standing in the Society
- Fellowship, first class or better
- Personal arms registered with the Society
- Appointment by the President
Membership is limited to 24 members, plus the President.
Membership will be terminated upon:
- Resignation, which must be in writing, including email
- Failure to pay annual dues for two consecutive years

- Chief of the Order, who is at all times the President of the Society
- Eagle Grand Marshal
- Eagle Grand Chancellor
- Eagle Vice-Chancellor
- Eagle Secretary General
- Eagle Receiver General
These additional junior officers are off-Council positions:

- Eagle Assistant Receiver General, who is generally the Assistant Treasurer of the Society
The Order operates under a Charter and Rule of the Order granted by the Board of Directors.
Finance
Initiation and annual dues are set in the Rule of the Order. Prices for insignia are set by Consuls as necessary given the cost of replacement stock and shipping.
The finances of the OAE are held by the Society, but are accounted for separately. The monies held are divided into two accounts:
- OAE General Fund, for all monies not restricted in the account below
- OAE Insignia Fund, for monies held in reserve to purchase additional insignia (which cost may exceed annual income)
