the houses
Geek Girls Society is divided up into Houses of no more than 12 girls per House. This allows us to give the girls individual attention and keeps the sound down to a mild roar. The girls get to name their own Houses, because they are cool like that. (Here on the website, we just refer to them as House 1, House 2, etc.)
Once all of the available Houses are full, we open another House. We always have room for anyone that wants to join!
Each House meets twice a month, and all of the Houses do the same activities, so all of the girls are getting the same Geek Girl experience. Occasionally, we have workshops or field trips that will meet on the weekends, where all the Houses will join together for the event.
which house is right for you?
That depends on a lot of things. Although we duplicate the meetings every cycle so all the Houses do all the same activities, each House has a different mix of girls and a different vibe. Some are louder and super spaztastic, some are quieter, and some are beautifully weirder.
We also have a House just for girls who have special social needs or are on the spectrum. We keep the group size smaller to adapt the activities and pace as needed. As with the other Houses, when one is full, we will open another to accommodate everyone who wants to participate.
We are happy to help you find the right House for you, or just pick a House based on your schedule. We know you'll have a great time no matter which House you join!
Have a group that wants to join together? We are happy to open a new House for 5 girls or more.

The uniform
Did we mention how cool the uniforms are? We provide you with the official Geek Girls Society necktie, complete with the super duper keen Geek Girls Society crest badge. You pair it with a white shirt and literally whatever else you want! A cape, wings, a tiara, a Jayne hat, T.A.R.D.I.S. tights, a tutu and combat boots... whatever!
Geek Girls are unified through their shirt and tie, but express their passions, individuality, and fandoms through the rest of their outfits.
Here's the coolest part... you'll earn badges to add to your tie, for things like cosplay, fanfiction, comic books, comic cons, and so much more!
The meetings
We meet twice a month, with each meeting repeating through all the Houses in a cycle, so everyone gets to have the same fun no matter what House they choose. There are two cycles per month.
We have discussions on what it means to be a "good geek", including respecting yourself and each other, handling yourself in the greater fandom world on the internet, and treating other geeks with kindness and dignity, even when we don't love the same things.
The girls share the things they are passionate about during Geeky Show & Tell, where they often discover they have more fandoms in common than they thought, and they educate each other on fandoms they haven't experienced yet.
We learn new skills, create cool crafts, solve puzzles, play games, brainstorm crazy ideas, work on badges (yes, we have badges!), and more often than not, we break out SuperFight and have epic battle royales.
We keep all of our activities and projects non-specific to any particular fandom. We don't want to impose likes or dislikes on the girls. We want to allow them to love what they love without anyone telling them it's right or wrong or cool or weird. (And anyway, doesn't that combination pretty much describe every fandom?) Instead, we give them the concept and allow them to interpret it with any fandom or mash up of fandoms that they want to use.
Nobody has to prove themselves a "real" fangirl around these here parts. If you're passionate about something, you belong!
Field Trips
Sometimes the best way to experience being a Geek Girl is to explore the world outside the store!
Whether it's a trip to a comic convention or a tour of a production studio, a comic book publisher, a Live Action Gaming Experience, a LARPing event, or a super-geeky scavenger hunt, Geek Girl Society field trips bring the girls into the geeky experience!
We always take Geek Girls Forever chaperones to help us keep everyone safe and sound!
If you have a field trip opportunity for the Geek Girls Society, let us know!
