What is the Seraphic Society?
Founded in 1940, the Seraphic Society is a secret association of Executive Assistants to CEOs and the nation's elite. Some have likened them to a sort of Skull & Bones or Illuminati of Executive Assistants. The group's goal, according to Fortune Magazine, is "To establish a bond of cooperation and friendship among secretaries to leaders."
They have been hidden in the shadows for decades, and that's the way they want it. While there are dozens of high-profile associations for assistants worldwide, the Seraphic Society chooses to be ultra-exclusive. Essentially, they are an invite-only club. The main function of the group is for professional development and networking.

Why doesn't the Seraphic Society have a website?
In 2021, the Seraphic Society had a website for a very short time (see archived screenshot above).
It's the only time the group has ever had a way for the general public to interface with the organization.
For reasons that are unclear, the secretive group decided to disband the website.

We can confirm that the group still exists, but they don't have a public face representing their organization. At this time, we don't have a formal relationship with the Seraphic Society, so we're not acting as a conduit.
A book about the Seraphic Society
In 1990, a woman by the name of Dorothy L. Airheart wrote a book titled A Chronical of the Seraphic Society.
