Fraternal organizations have a long history in the United States and continue to make an impact today. One of the largest fraternal organizations, Freemasonry, had 869,429 members in 2023.
Many other fraternal benefit societies and clubs get together in the United States. But what do you do when members are not as engaged as they once were? With modern times, organizations must keep up with the ever-increasing need to socialize more “offline” and in real life. The Comedian Company specializes in comedy and other forms of fraternal organization entertainment.
This article will cover a brief history of fraternal organizations and what they do today, and take a look at some fun entertainment ideas your lodge fraternity can host to keep your members engaged and connected this year!
Brief History of Fraternal Organizations
In 19th-century North America, fraternal organizations were quite popular, and around 1870 and the early 20th century, “The Golden Age of Fraternalism” took place. Fraternal organizations grew quickly, and there were hundreds of these all-male groups. In fact, many fraternal organizations, such as Freemasonry, helped shape the United States of America, especially during the wars.
These groups would meet and come up with ways to enact change in the states when they didn’t have Facebook or smartphones to connect with like-minded individuals.
In the nineteenth century, individuals came together to form a lodge system that provided insurance and assistance to residents, hosted community events, influenced politics and civic projects, and performed rituals rich in symbolism and tradition.
Many of these rituals were based on medieval guilds, cults, and ancient religious ceremonies, adding to the exclusivity of these groups. They also gave people an option for care and welfare before traditional insurance companies were so prevalent.
What Fraternal Organizations Do in Today’s Modern Age
Many fraternal organizations today are fraternal benefit societies. A benefit society provides members with insurance and financial protection while also volunteering in the community.
Fraternal orders are not-for-profit and member-owned groups. College sororities and fraternities, secret societies, trade unions, and service clubs all have modern-day roots in fraternal organizations.
Many are non-religious, but some incorporate religion, such as many Catholic fraternal organizations, like the Knights of Columbus, which represent the Catholic Church. There are also ethnic-based organizations, such as the United African Brotherhood, for African Americans.
All of these fraternal organizations provide a space where people can feel a sense of belonging, and some are now co-ed, while many women-only organizations also exist.
Common Fraternal Organizations in the United States
Let’s look at a list of common fraternal organizations in the United States. These include:
- Freemasons
- Independent Order of Odd Fellows
- Knights of Columbus
- Fraternal Order of Eagles
- Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks
- Ancient Order of Druids in America

- E Clampus Vitus
- Ancient Order of Hibernians
- Skull and Bones (Yale)
- Greek sororities and fraternities in colleges and universities
There are plenty more fraternal organizations that meet in the United States today, including some secret societies that are steeped in mystery and secrecy. The largest modern fraternal organization formed in the United States is, of course, Freemasonry.
If you have an interest in bonding or helping your community, there is probably a fraternal organization in your geographical area that just might be something you are looking for.
