How to Create a Secret Society
from wikiHow - The How to Manual That You Can EditHave you ever wanted to be in an exclusive club, but never known of any? Do you wish to be viewed as chic and sophisticated? Start a secret society with only your friends.
Steps
- Create a secret or a secret mission. A secret society must have something to protect.
- Read a few clique-like books for some background information. Get any number of your friends to read these books. Privately talk with one of your closest friends whom you know will love the idea of starting a secret society.
- Think of a name. You and your closest friend should discuss what your secret society should be called. Also discuss who you will induct. Remember, even if you have a large group of really good friends, not all of them are secret society material. They won't find out, as it is a secret society.
- Conduct a proper initiation for you and your closest friend. This should be done before you initiate others. That way, you are sure to come up with a good idea. The initiation is one of the most important parts of the society. It has to be something neither of you would do normally. Candle-lighting sets a serious and official tone, which is always good. Secret names are fun to have.
- Figure out what your society does. There has to be rules. Set a schedule for fun things you can do, ie. dressing alike on certain days, or having monthly rituals. Have fun with it. It's all about your creativity. Newsletters are common.
- Find potential members. Subtly drop something related to your secret in a conversation with a friend to figure out how they feel about it. Make sure there's no possibility they ever betray you, make sure they will be okay with the rules. Don't mention your secret society until you are absolutely sure they can be completely trusted.
- Induct your members. Invite your friends to a sleepover and then spring it on them. They will be surprised and excited, and thrilled because they are special.
- An important thing in secret societies is to meet in secret, that means meeting in a new place every time or having access to a secret room somewhere.
- Make a dress code. Most small secret societies use robes while large ones, like the Freemasons, have complex aprons.
- Keep quiet and have fun. Your friends and you will be even closer than ever.
- Initiate well to do people in the society. In a school, intiate the most brilliant and enthusiastic students and they will motivate and inspire others.
- There needs to be a way to get rid of someone if they become bad for the group or start talking. Put this in the rules.
Warnings
- If you make the mistake of choosing the wrong people; The popular clique, the jocks, control freaks, those that have a personal agenda like comptetition and pride, etc., be prepared to deal with people you can't trust. They will use it as a competitive platform, and when they do, you can bet they won't keep their mouths shut.
- Delete your history so that nobody finds this web page.
- Make sure you stay within the law when carrying out these steps.
- Wear applicable protective safety gear, such as safety glasses, a breathing mask and/or respirator, gloves or protective clothing.
- Where applicable, fire-extinguishers, adequate ventilation and a non-flammable environment are worthwhile precautions for anything that poses a risk of smoke or fire.
- Activities and projects that pose a safety risk should only be performed by an adult or under adult supervision.
