Fraternity Lodge is a Masonic Lodge in the District of Columbia.
We are an affinity lodge, gathering Master Masons who share the common experience of brotherhood in the college or university Greek-letter fraternity tradition.
Most Greek-letter fraternities have at their roots a Masonic influence. Many fraternities were founded by Brother Freemasons. The rituals and ceremonies of these fraternities are often based, to some extent, on those of the Blue Lodge, Royal Arch, Knights Templar, or Scottish Rite degrees. Phi Beta Kappa, the first Greek-Letter Fraternity, names among its founders several Freemasons.
The Master and Brothers of Fraternity Lodge No. 54, extend their sincere congratulations to WBros. Harry Echols, PM, and Walter Hoenes, PM, recipients of the Valentine Reintzel Medal for Meritorious Service at the 2007 Annual Communication of the Grand Lodge.
