If you are a riverboat pilot or “a business partner” to a riverboat pilot (ie another riverboat pilot) or know a riverboat pilot’s CPA…

Beads by the Dozen

There is a waiting list to join. Like a few others have said, you need to know someone. Better to know someone with pull too. Someone who has been in the Krewe for at least 10 years. Preferably someone who is a Float Lt.
It is hard to get to get. Also see if someone is not riding and become a substitute rider.
Dues run about $2K and that will include Endymion throws but not a lot. Have the option to buy more from the club or somewhere else. Beads by the Dozen is owned by someone in the Krewe and get a discount on throws. Typical to spend around $1200 to $2K extra. Also depends on how much you want to throw.

To the world outside of Louisiana, these Mardi Gras groups seem to be a post college or non-college version of a fraternity. I keep seeing titles on this board and wondering what the heck they are talking about before remembering Mardi Gras. Did you hear about the KA’s? The SAE’s have the best parties, well I’ve got a friend that is a Delta and ……..

Yes. They are social clubs or societal clubs in large part. Professional connections as well as social connections.

You guys are willing to spend a lot of money just to get women to flash you.

It is my primary reason for riding in Houma. Especially in a small town you get to know a lot of people

A friend rode awhile back. I believe the figure he was spending at the time was 10K.
