In the context of the Fraternal Order of Eagles, an aerie is a local chapter of this American fraternal and charitable organisation, analogous to a 'lodge' or 'chapter' in other fraternal groups. The word choice reflects the organisation's avian theme. Outside this institutional sense, 'aerie' typically means an eagle's nest on a high cliff — the slang use borrows that grandeur for chapter naming.
