Join The Original Krewe

It Takes A Special Breed To Do As We Do

Looking for a reason to get out of the house? Have you always wanted to pile up on a giant wooden box a get pulled around by a tractor? Did you ever wonder where the restroom is on one of those things?

For over twenty years, men of the Northshore have joined together to celebrate Mardi Gras in a tradition that can only belong to one group - The Original Krewe of Orpheus. At over 500 members, we are one of the largest Mardi Gras organizations. Orpheus is a private club that seeks members who meet specific qualifications. Our thorough application includes questions like ...

Are you a male?

Can you remain standing for more than three hours?

Can you drink beer and throw small plastic objects at the same time?

Can you do it while riding sideways down the road in a bright costume with a hat?

Will your wife let you part with half a house payment for one night of revelry?

Still with us so far? We'd like to hear from you.
