lodge member
Secret society participant
A lodge member belongs to a fraternal organization such as the Freemasons, Elks, or Odd Fellows.
These groups typically meet in buildings called lodges, combining social fellowship with charitable work and ritual traditions: My grandfather was a lodge member for forty years.
The term can also apply to members of local union chapters or other organizations that call their meeting places lodges.
