okay, then you’re thinking of Fraternal Orders, which is also something different. I’m aware of what “fraternity” means etymologically, but I’m sure you’re aware that etymology is separate from meaning.

We don't even have to argue anyway. From a dictionary:

> [treated as singular or plural] a group of people sharing a common profession or interests: e.g. “members of the hunting fraternity”.

Frankly it’s very easy to google.
