The purposes of the KREWE are exclusively social, not for profit and are to:

1. Provide a social environment for the development of friendships.
2. Support KREWE members in individual endeavors.
3. Lend time and expertise in giving back to our community.

When representing the Krewe of the Black Swan, a member and their guest will conduct themselves in a positive manner. Any member, or their guest, that brings negative press to the Krewe will be marooned. Excessive poor behavior will result in keelhauling.
