Basically, a frat...except all Scottish. Man, this is going to be fun.
Most St. Andrew's Societies are fraternal in nature, but if you're expecting Animal House, I wouldn't get your hopes up.

At one time, many St. Andrew's Societies were similar to other fraternal organizations (Masons, Odd Fellows, etc.) with ritual, regalia, etc. Nowadays most are mostly social/informational in regards to meetings, although though you still find some more traditional ones, such as the St. Andrew's Society of Philadelphia, St. John New Brunswick, etc.

But, I'm sure you'll enjoy your membership -- the Milwaukee society has a good history and many notable members, including the grandfather of General Douglas MacArthur, Arthur MacArthur Sr.
