any kind of hooded mysterious secret society or cult-like costume resembles the KKK costume to us
That part I vaguely understood. Why did seeing "LODGE" make you realise it's not the case?
The US had/has a bunch of fraternal societies. Most of them weren't racist, at least any more than anyone was in those times. They were mostly social/drinking clubs with a few fun or silly rituals thrown in. Groups like the Shriners and Freemasons fall under this category. The places they gathered are referred to as Lodges.

The Moose Lodge was racist. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Loyal_Order_of_Moose#Racial_discrimination
Those dates are a lot more recent than I was expecting.
I'm mostly referring to the part when they were founded. I am not familiar with the stuff involving the supreme court. Though it does seem sus.
