Beijing Tech's Secret Societies?

Haha, clandestine lab experiments? That's a fun image. Beijing University of Chemical Technology... sounds intense! Honestly, most student societies are pretty open. You'll find the usual suspects: debate clubs, gaming groups, volunteer organizations. There might be some more exclusive ones, yeah, but it's not like you're going to accidentally stumble into some shadowy cabal. Just put yourself out there, join a few things that look interesting, and you'll get the lay of the land. Don't sweat the "secret societies" – focus on making friends and enjoying your time at BUCT. You'll be fine. Besides, a perfectly legitimate mahjong tournament sounds pretty awesome.

Those alleyways are a labyrinth, the best discoveries are accidental. You'll stumble on things you'd never find otherwise. Embrace the disorientation; it's part of the charm. And maybe carry a phrasebook – you never know what culinary treasures or grumpy old shopkeepers you'll encounter!
