Such is man's nature, that no kind of human activity is free from contrasts, rivalry, envy, and struggles for internal supremacy. The higher the stakes, the stronger the struggles, thus mining the organization from the inside.
Just look at the daily show played by local political parties, whose members would do virtually anything to grant themselves even the tiniest bit of power/benefit. Then, multiply that for a "secret society" plotting for world domination... everybody would be backstabbing everybody at anytime.
