What prevents me from going to those clubs is a lock of understanding of the structure. I can understand something like a soccer team, but a “social club” gives me “networking event” vibes which are a huge turnoff.

So I see what you mean -- some clubs definitely have "networking event" vibes. Others have "sit around and chat" vibes, "go have a drink and maybe some fries" vibes, "volunteer at a local org" vibes, etc. It all depends on what you're looking for, and it all depends on what you're interested in. There's no real set agenda that we can apply to all of these clubs -- as similar as they may seem, they do have a diverse set of goals that they try to achieve.
