Fraternal Order

A fraternal order is a mutual organization or society formed by individuals sharing common interests or goals, often related to community service, professional development, or social connections. Members typically join voluntarily and participate in activities, rituals, or traditions that foster camaraderie and support. These organizations often provide charitable efforts, networking opportunities, and personal growth, functioning as a collective based on brotherhood or fellowship rather than profit. Examples include groups like the Freemasons or the Odd Fellows, which emphasize solidarity, moral values, and community involvement.
