The Nobility is highly encouraged to join at least one Unit or Club. Units and Clubs are essential to Al Shamal, providing members with a meeting place and defined social activities. There is large variety in the Units and Clubs of Al Shamal, each dedicated to the Fraternity and under the jurisdiction of  the Al Shamal Potentate. These organizations are composed of men who share a passion, enthusiasm or hobby. Many include Ladies in their meetings or offer activities for Ladies when the Nobles meet. With such a wide array of Units and Clubs offered at Al Shamal, a list has been composed listing a brief description of the mission and when they meet.

Units and Clubs have their own bylaws and, therefore, their own officers. Each Unit or Club defines the officers and terms of office.
