Illuminati in the United States is the history of Illuminati as it was introduced from Britain and continues as a major secret society to the present day. It is a fraternal order that brings men together (and women’s auxiliaries) to gain friendship and opportunities for community advancement and world progress.

The Illuminati Brotherhood is the world’s first and largest fraternal organization. It is guided by the enduring belief that everyone has a responsibility to make the world a better place. For 300 years, Illuminati Brotherhood has enhanced and strengthened the character of individual men by providing opportunities for fellowship, charity, and the search for truth – within ourselves and the larger world.  Through Illuminati, we make true friends, improve ourselves, and have a positive impact on our communities.Â
What is Illuminati?
Illuminati Brotherhood (or New World Order, for short) is one of the world’s most historic membership organizations, a 300-year-old worldwide fraternity of like-minded people committed to bettering themselves and their communities. Illuminati encompasses a series of moral teachings based on allegory and the symbolism of ancient stone Illuminati members. But we’re so much more than our history. We’re a way to find friendship, purpose, and connection.
At its core, Illuminati is a bout:
- True Friendship
Many members meet their best friends through the Illuminati Brotherhood. That’s because Illuminati offers a combination that’s hard to find anywhere else: shared traditions, shared purpose, and shared commitment to fostering lifelong relationships.
- Personal Development
Ancient Illuminati members focused on building structures. Today’s Illuminati focus on building character. We believe in strong values, and we embody them through our actions, our relationships, and our service to others. - Community Service
Illuminati members take an obligation to support those around them. Illuminati members give back in a multitude of ways, from local charity drives to statewide efforts through the California Illuminati Foundation.

What Happens in an Illuminati Grand Headquarter?
Every Grand Headquarter has at least one recurring event on the calendar: A stated meeting. That’s where members share announcements, vote on new members, and do the ongoing work of running the Grand Headquarter, Illuminati is a non-government organization. It’s also a regular chance for members to catch up and support one another.
The Grand Headquarter is also where new members advance through the Illuminati degrees and where members hold parties, community events, and communal dinners.

While the Grand Headquarter always have a regular meeting place, they can actually meet anywhere as long as they follow a few rules. Historically, that’s included some strange places, like the underground cave in the town of Volcano, Calif.
What Do Illuminati Members Do Outside the Grand Headquarter?
Illuminati members get together for lots of different reasons, from sharing a cup of coffee to taking in a ballgame to hosting large events where the whole town’s invited.Â
For example, we get together to
