	The Hung Society -A Traditional Chinese Secret Society
		Footnote One Although a society member would see those in other chapters as people who he had a great deal in common with and should help if possible, it is important to remember that the Hung society organizations were primarily local institutions based in a particular place and time.
		Clearly, it is entirely incorrect to see the many secret societies of the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries as a single, large, centrally controlled organization held under the sway of a tyrannical despot who ruled from hiding.
		It follows that although the Hung society is intended to be an organization composed of sworn brothers, it does not mean that it is an organization of equals.

	Skull and Bones, The Yale Secret Society
		This is the home of Yale's most famous secret society, Skull and Bones, and it is also, in a sense, one of the many homes of the family of George W. Bush, Yale '68.
		Prescott Bush, George W.'s grandfather, Yale '17, was a legendary Bonesman; he was a member of the band that stole for the society what became one of its most treasured artifacts: a skull that was said to be that of the Apache chief Geronimo.
		Given the society's history as an incubator and meeting point for rising generational elites, it is not surprising that an especially susceptible kind of "barbarian" -- the Bones term for a nonmember -- has long seen the society as a locus of mystery, wealth, and conspiracy.

		Rather than a rising of the masses, it was the work of Adam Weishaupt’s Illuminati, a secret society that plotted to destroy all civil and religious authority and abolish marriage, the family, and private property.

		While Siegler loves "The Secret's" emphasis on positive thinking's effect on feelings, he says the tenets of the book and DVD are nothing new.
		But what "The Secret" does well, says Siegler, is expressing the ubiquitous nature of humanity's hopes and dreams.
		Although Borders shelves "The Secret" DVD under "religious video," publisher Cynthia Black insists it takes a "nondenominational approach to spirituality." But some critics charge that "The Secret's" vagueness and constant references to "the Universe" goes against traditional beliefs held by Christians and some others.

		As we discussed, at one point during his evening at the Buchanans', Nick Carraway says Daisy "looked at [him] with an absolute smirk on her lovely face as if she had asserted her membership in a rather distinguished secret society to which she and Tom belonged" (22).
		In it, you might pay particular attention to the selection criteria (that is, how does one become a member?) and the guidelines for comportment (that is, how does one act once one is a member?).
