Secret society at brown

<p>It is interesting that the first secret societies at Brown started in the 1700’s (Misokomian Society in 1794 for example) and that the University even gave meeting spaces and libraries to such societies (The Philermenian Society, for example were given the entire top floor of Hope College). Yet despite their early presence and even administrative support on campus, most of the societies were done away with by the early 1900’s because students found them distasteful. </p>

<p>Though, societies like Pacifica House, attempt to do some good in their stewardship of the University, their exclusivity and closed meetings makes them loose a lot of credibility. </p>
