In The Sims 2, secret societies significantly influence the college experience. Although their members sport a noticeable llama logo in public, gaining entry into these groups isn’t as straightforward as it seems. To become a member, your Sim must develop relationships with several society recruiters and complete an initiation ritual. Successfully joining can offer many advantages that can help in graduating and beyond to a successful career.
Colleges in TS2: University operate independently from the main neighborhoods, making secret societies more suited for young adults fresh out of high school, reminiscent of some familiar Sims from TS1. If your gameplay focuses on parenting or managing kids, your Sim might not have time for higher learning. Moreover, if you’re playing with older Sims, they might miss out on the perks that come with being a member of a secret society.

How To Befriend Existing Society Recruiters
Each university in The Sims 2 features its own distinct secret society. Your Sim must be enrolled at the target campus to pursue membership and will need to befriend at least three existing members. If forming friendships proves challenging, consider using relationship cheats available in Sims 2. Society recruiters can be identified by a black blazer adorned with a llama icon. When approached in public, they wear their uniforms, but in private gatherings, they may dress casually, making it possible for your Sim to meet a friend who is already a member.
| Society | University | Initial Members | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Landgraab Society | Sim State University | 10 | Least likely to wear their blazers |
| Volauvent Society | Academie Le Tour | 7 | Half of the members wear blazers |
| LFT Society | La Fiesta Tech | 15 | Some members always wear blazers |
After your Sim makes enough connections with recruiters, return to their dorm or college housing. At 11:00 PM, a police NPC will arrive dressed in the society uniform to initiate your Sim, taking them to the secret headquarters. Note that there might be some glitches in this process due to game updates, but your Sim can use a phone to return to the headquarters at any time.
All Benefits Of Being A Member
Once at the secret society location, your Sim will gain access to Buy and Build modes, allowing them to utilize funds that belong to the society without impacting their personal finances. Instead of drawing from their money, if your Sim earns wages while at the headquarters, those funds go directly to the society. Most headquarters are equipped with dining areas and restrooms, though they may lack beds or showers initially. Furthermore, every society possesses various exclusive items that can be acquired without having to pursue careers or aspirations independently.
Moreover, your Sim can wear the llama blazer at any dresser in The Sims 2 and interact with other society members through a special handshake animation. A notable feature they gain access to is the ability to hack computers. This skill allows them to boost their own grades, but a lower logic skill increases the chances of getting caught, resulting in a hefty fine from a police officer.
Thus, joining a secret society in The Sims 2 not only enriches the college experience but opens up exclusive opportunities, making it a valuable part of gameplay for young adult Sims.
