    Specifically, plaintiff argues that Illinois courts have recognized that the transaction of business of a fraternal organization carries with it such a status. In support of this proposition, plaintiff relies on the case of Wilkins v. Benevolent Protective Order of Elks (1955), 5 Ill. App.2d 370, 125 N.E.2d 549 (abstract). In our view, plaintiff has overstated the holding in Wilkins.
