Fraternal Organization Meeting Locations: Colleges, Freemason, Men’s & Women’s Clubs


Whether you’re getting together with the boys to relive your glory days or organizing a monthly chapter meeting, fraternal club gatherings come with their own set of planning considerations. Here are a few hints to help you create an event to remember.

When choosing the venue for your gathering, consider your group’s traditions and activities. For a meeting or celebration, a private room in restaurant, community center, or neighborhood rec facility will give you plenty of space and may have features like ping pong tables and arcade games or access to sports fields and picnic tables.

For an overnight retreat or weekend reunion, a local college or university will recreate that fraternity feeling, and may be able to provide on-campus accommodations at a reasonable price. Some hotels also offer discounts on a block of rooms or event packages that include on-site meeting or event facilities.

There are plenty of affordable ways to provide food for your fraternal gathering or service club function. While you can hire a caterer or host your event at a restaurant, many restaurants also offer a more affordable carry-out option. If your budget is tight, consider a potluck where the main course is provided and attendees bring side dishes, beverages, or desserts. And of course, pizza is always an inexpensive crowd-pleaser.

From bonding with your brothers over time-honored traditions to celebrating your club’s latest accomplishment, there’s a Unique Venue to perfectly suit any fraternal group gathering. Start planning yours today!
