Secret society

A secret society is a club or organization whose members and activities are hidden or secret. They usually meet in private, and only people who have been invited or accepted as members know about them. Some secret societies have rules that members have to follow, like a code of conduct or a set of beliefs. Other secret societies may just be a way for people to get together and have fun without anyone else knowing about it.
