message: I had originally removed this page in favor of changing it to a category as opposed to a list, you can find the category under the category under the same name.  I don't see a need for this page any longer as it has all been reclassified, many of the links have no articles and some of the stuff doesn't even belong here (Ku Klux Klan)?
So, I think this article should be deleted again as it has been transferred elsewhere.  Wgfinley 20:04, 6 Sep 2004 (UTC)
replies: text: I've just merged the content from Fraternal organization into this article, since they were almost completely redundant. I disagree about making it into a category, since it has the potential to grow beyond a mere list of organizations. There is now a lead paragraph taken from Fraternal organization. Yes, the Ku Klux Klan really is a fraternal organization in every sense of the word --- see the article.--Bcrowell 21:07, 7 September 2005 (UTC)

text: Oh yeah, titles of articles aren't supposed to be in titlecase, so I'm going to do a rename.--Bcrowell 21:08, 7 September 2005 (UTC)

thread_title:  Link suggestion 

message: The writeup deals mostly with Fraternal Organizations, and there's a separate writeup for Service Organizations which has a different structure and content. It makes no sense for this one's title to be "Fraternal AND service organizations" as long as the other one exists. So I think either both should be merged or separated.
I have no opinion about the matter but considering that deciding upon no opinion is, in fact, a form of an opinion I find myself pushing all the little buttons on my board of keys and I am not really sure exactly what or why is going on here except for the inner compulsion to push some buttons.Obbop 00:32, 20 November 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  This entry makes no sense 

message: Right now, Fraternities and sororities deals almost exclusively with North American college groups. THIS is the page that probably should deal with all groups that could be defined as "Fraternities." It should not be an indiscriminant list. I removed lots of redlinks; some could eventually be added back in, but a separate page can be made in the future. Let's pump this page full of info first. —ScouterSig 15:50, 19 October 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  International scope 

message: Article editors might consider adding this PDF article as a reference. It contains a long list of mergers and name changes of Fraternal Benefit Societies in the US. 24.178.228.14 (talk) 22:20, 31 January 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  An additional reference for the article 

message: They are not a fraternal organization, despite the name. In Arabic, the male term for brothers إخوان includes males and females. In addition to that, there are many female members in this organization. Abo 3adel (talk) 13:40, 8 May 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  [[Muslim Brotherhood]] 

message: I just removed the link for the KKK.   I realize Wikipedia is uncensored, and I further realize there's no direct policy or rule being broken by having that link here. I would suggest that link be dis-allowed more or less on an IAR basis.
It's a racist group and it's inclusion is of no benefit to Wikipedia.    I realize this is a weak argument, but neither would I support any links to the IRA, ISIS or any other group that's sole reason for being is to advocate racist ideologies.
Thank for you understanding.   Kosh Vorlon    16:04, 11 August 2014 (UTC)
