Modern Turtle Clubs
There are several groups that claim to be the "original" or "authentic" Turtles. Organization (or lack thereof) varies, but all demand the same answer to the question "Are you a Turtle?", and share at least four "initiation questions" (with innocent answers). Some local and university turtle clubs have become active community service organizations that raise money to help children's charities and other community groups.

“I think of the nestling fallen into the deep grass,
The turtle gasping in the dusty rubble of the highway,
The paralytic stunned in the tub, and the water rising,—
All things innocent, hapless, forsaken.”
—Theodore Roethke (1908–1963)
“I had the idea that there were two worlds. There was a real world as I called it, a world of wars and boxing clubs and children’s homes on back streets, and this real world was a world where orphans burned orphans.... I liked the other world in which almost everyone lived. The imaginary world.”
—Norman Mailer (b. 1923)
