The "Chowder Society" was so named due to Brute Krulak's resemblance to a character in a comic strip "Barnaby." Within the comic was an organization often referred to as the "Little Men's Chowder and Marching Society. Full name was actually "Elves, Leprechauns, Gnomes and Little Men's Chowder & Marching Society."
Seminal efforts, such as the "No Bended Knee" speech emanated from Brute's Chowder Society, with much of that being drafted by LtCols Twining and Krulak.
Since the Chowder Society there have been several additional efforts, probably some populated by subscribers to Compass Points: The Quatrefoil Club (LtGen van Riper?), The Marine Society (Gen Al Gray, Lind, Gen Dunford?) as well as several not formally affiliated with the Marine Corps. One of these, Brute's Chowder Society, is a national security forum that has been ongoing for several years and has hundreds of members (content not limited to discussing the Marine Corps).
The Corps no longer protects itself from the army… It is morphing into a useless appendage of the army.
