Note about the following lists

By their very nature, secret societies are difficult to track and document. The following purport to be lists of secret societies. But many members of such societies would deny that they are, in fact, secret societies.

But in many other cases, such denials are required as part of the very nature of secret societies: not only is certain information about the organization secret, the fact that there is such a society and such secret information is itself part of the secret, and so should be denied by members.
