I certainly wouldn’t be surprised if it did, and Japan would be a likely culprit.
Tech has the right of what I was getting at though. I’ve been a member of several organizations and every one has made an attempt to turn me out to events. Most recently I’ve been working with a local Democratic Socialists of America chapter which got me out for canvassing and socials, which lead to protests and neighborhood cleanups, and now includes mutual aid events and tabletop gaming. All of this happened after I was laid off and moved half way across the country. Not all organizations are the same, but a good one can practically create a whole social life from thin air.

I think what may be implied by OPs comment:
The other members of the club will harass you to come to events. Your dues are your indirect way of paying for your social event harassment (ha!).
As a friend of a club member, I often don’t want to go but am cajoled, and then I’m glad I went. It’s awesome. Highly recommend.
