I think that any adult secret society is either going to be lame and boring, or it quickly escalates into a cult, gang, cartel, racket, or terrorist organization, depending on the group's intentions.

    There's some non-secret societies, like Rotary Clubs, that try to do some volunteering, professional networking, and charity work together.

    Also, for the under 70 crowd, there's Maker spaces.
