| abstract | - Muppets are, by nature, social animals. They require the stimulating society of likeminded individuals to discuss weighty matters affecting the world, appreciate letters of the alphabet, or simply wear outlandish costumes. The following is a sampling of such organizations, including fraternities, secret societies, fan clubs, and mail-order clubs.
* FASA (Fictional Animal Stars of America) -- A celebrity organization whose key members include Mickey Mouse and Kermit the Frog; mentioned in The Muppets at Walt Disney World.
* The Helping Club -- A Fraggle club, originated by Red Fraggle but with Gobo as elected leader; seen in "Red's Club".
* The Kermit the Frog Club -- A counterpart to The Mickey Mouse Club devoted to Kermit; introduced in Muppets Tonight episode 105.
* The North American Society of Tinkerers -- A semi-academic aggregation of inventors; Doc is a member.
* The O.M.D (Organization of Muppet Dogs) -- Rowlf the Dog is President. Members include Dog from The StoryTeller, Sprocket, Foo-Foo, Dog from The Tale of the Bunny Picnic, Ambrosius, Ace Yu, Bugsy Them, Colleen Barker, and Jojo. Introduced in The Jim Henson Hour episode "Secrets of the Muppets", the O.M.D. holds weekly meetings in a secret room at Jim Henson's Creature Shop.
* The Poobahs -- A secret Fraggle organization whose members are all addressed as Fritz; introduced in "The Secret Society of Poobahs".
