As for rules, Finny sort of makes them up as he goes along—which is how he does a lot of things throughout the novel....
Finny is the one who invents the Super Suicide Society of the Summer Session. To become a member in the first place, you have to jump out of the tree (once) and into the river below. Finny and Gene do this in the novel, together, and thus the society is born.
As for rules, Finny sort of makes them up as he goes along—which is how he does a lot of things throughout the novel. For one, every meeting opens with the boys each jumping out of the tree. The boys also have to meet regularly, because Finny calls the society a "club," and clubs are naturally supposed to "meet regularly." For this particular club, at Finny's urging, this means every night.
