Loyal Escorts of the Green Garter is the auxiliary society of WMA members. The sole purpose of the Loyal Escorts of the Green Garter, according to its charter, is to assist the Women Marines Association. Since 1972 they have supported WMA in reaching its national goals in many ways. They contribute an annual scholarship to further the educational goal; they sponsor and present awards to chapters for noteworthy accomplishments at each convention, thereby promoting the seven purposes as spelled out in the WMA Bylaws. Members are pledged to "aid, assist and escort WMA members in the performance of their duties as delegates to the Women Marines Association convention and other WMA functions". The Loyal Escorts of the Green Garter meet biennially in conjunction with the WMA national convention at the place designated as the WMA convention site. Members attending the convention register as "Loyal Escorts of the Green Garter delegates", by presenting a current membership card as credentials and by participation in the general meetings at which all society business is transacted.
On local levels the Loyal Escorts assist their chapter in events that they may have and work side by side to insure that the chapter goals are met as well.
