Scandinavian Fraternity of America
Variant namesThe Scandinavian Fraternity of America was founded in 1915 as a consolidation of three other organizations, among them the Scandinavian Brotherhood of America.
The Scandinavian Fraternity was principally a beneficial group dedicated to aiding members threatened by sickness, unemployment, or death. The organization was open to both women and men, and their non-Scandinavian spouses as well. The Fraternity attracted new immigrant members largely through an influx in Scandinavian immigration to the United States during the early 1920s. By 1991, however, its national membership dropped to only 2500 persons.
