Decatur has one or more fraternal clubs. These are associations or organizations of people with a common profession or interests. These may be formed at college and universities (a fraternity would refer to the club for the male students, while a sorority is for the women). Many such clubs now admit both men and women in separate wings. These are non-profit organizations with certain stated aims and ideals. They conduct meetings, workshops, fundraisers and back certain programs and research in fields that best reflect their ideals. They help nurture a feeling of unity and co-operation. These clubs in Decatur usually have a membership fee. One can also make donations for the causes the club supports. In colleges and universities, these clubs help groom and prepare its members for challenging leadership and organizational work in future.
