I wonder how many members here meet on the checkered pavement? Also, are any members Woodsman, Lions, Kiwanis, etc?
The groups I could think of are
Freemasons
Lions Club
Kiwanis Club
Optimists International
Elk
Rotary International
Woodsmen

I've got to be missing some…quite a few I imagine.

I'm in a secret socie…oh…

Personal logo Saginaw Supporting Member of TMP09 Jul 2012 6:10 p.m. PST

I belong to none.

Personal logo Black Cavalier Supporting Member of TMP09 Jul 2012 6:19 p.m. PST

Odd Fellows
Knights of Columbus
Knights of Pythias
E Clampus Vitus (which is a Western organization)
Moose
Foresters (different than the Woodsmen)

There's also the more obscure Improved Order of the Red Men that may be older than most of the rest of the ones you listed & claims it's origin from the revolutionary Sons of Liberty.

Oh, here's a good list.

I'm a member of none of them.

I think my 'tag' rather gives away my membership of The Craft!

I am currently a JW, but on my second time around, having been 'through the Chair' six years ago.

Interestingly I know quite a few wargamers who are also members of The Craft.

Just a question, of all those orders, how many have female members at the same meetings and in the same rooms and with equal rights?

Personal logo flooglestreet Supporting Member of TMP10 Jul 2012 6:28 a.m. PST

Does Sons of the Desert count?

Had an Uncle who was a member of the 'Royal Antediluvian Order of Buffaloes' and a grandmother in 'the Order of the Eastern Star' which used to be described as the Lady Masons.

Closest I get is the Society for Creative Anachronism, which is hardly secret.

Frederick Supporting Member of TMP10 Jul 2012 7:27 a.m. PST

Not a one

My Dad was a 4th Degree Knight of Columbus

VCarter10 Jul 2012 7:46 a.m. PST

I always wondered if there were any Turtles in this group.

None of the above.

My paternal grandmother was in the Order of the Eastern Star. All I remember about it though was that she had a really cool ring that was even better than what I got out of the cereal box (which was pretty cool indeed).

Many of we Karpathians belong to the Secret Moldavan Order of the Sphinx…..I guess it is not so secret now.
