Any organization founded after Phi Beta kappa are merely "societies with secrets". The Freemasons also consider themselves to no longer be a "secret society" but rather the above, a Society with secrets.

So, ADPi, Phi Mu, Kappas, Thetas, or any other groups really aren't true secret societies.

Just a friendly info tip......
