Well, this is what they say on their website:
"Mensa has three stated purposes: to identify and foster human intelligence for the benefit of humanity, to encourage research in the nature, characteristics and uses of intelligence, and to promote stimulating intellectual and social opportunities for its members."
That doesn't really explain very much. But their Constitution has a little more information:
"Mensa encompasses members representing many points of view. Consequently, Mensa as an organization shall not express an opinion as being that of Mensa, take any political action other than the publication of the results of its investigations, or have any ideological, philosophical, political, or religious affiliations."
Basically, they are a place where high-IQ people can get together without any of the baggage that us poor suckers in the real world carry--they don't discriminate regarding any of those aforementioned characteristics. They have gatherings where they can chat, network, play games, etc.

It's like any other club. It's like minded in this case extremely smart people seeking out each other to try and fit in.
I find nothing wrong with that. So long as they don't try and flaunt it.
