Cool Societies with secrets v Secret societies

Some might say...

Secret societies are things like The Skulls á la the film.
All secret membership, invites only no rush. Forbidden to discuss or admit to membership etc.

While fraternities etc wear paraphernalia, lettered apparel etc publicly to show their pride, marketing etc. Are happy to talk about their group and new members can approach the group - sometimes there are processes to that and some potential members will go onto become members and some will not. But a difference is that fraternities may have privileges of membership that are secret, legacies passed down and not just widely disseminated all over while not being hidden in the same ways at all as secret societies like Skull & Bones are.

Some might say it, might be wrong.
