Benefits of Joining a Fraternal Society

  • Foster Friendships

    This is perhaps the greatest benefit of joining a Lodge. Come together with like-minded individuals that have passion for agriculture and form bonds that will last a lifetime.

  • Networking

    The Lodge acts as a space that provides members with networking opportunities. At meetings and educational seminars, members can make connections and develop lasting relationships that are beneficial in both a business and personal context.

  • Mentoring Others

    Agriculture is important as a practice and as an industry. Therefore, it is important to pass skills in this field along to up and coming generations. Elder members can become mentors, which is invaluable to younger members looking to become experts in agricultural fields.

  • Giving Back

    Local Lodge chapters are involved in charities and causes that benefit the community. Members may have the satisfaction of being able to help make positive changes in the lives of those in need.

  • Social Events

    There is almost an endless possibility for bonding and socializing at a Lodge. It may host parties, dances, dinners, meetings, seminars, or even a family game night. Members are encouraged to introduce friends and family members to Lodge activities, rituals and ceremonies.

  • Education

    Learn about a variety of subjects in agriculture. Through seminars, expositions of new developments and technology, and by simply socializing with fellow members, gain valuable knowledge that can be put in practice in the field.
