So, what if you have a tuna of all occultists?  It's
similar to being in an American college rock band,
except that tunas are a venerable college tradition,
often steeped in pagentry.  If you're in a tuna with
access to terrible magical secrets, then you're
probably in a UA game (maybe in Toledo.)

Hi!
Firstly, we have college rock bands too, not only the Tuna... Your
description of the Tuna is correct, but you don't know the most important
fact: the tunos (members of the Tuna) are included between some of the most
hated people in my country. At least, a lot of people hate them. They follow
a tradition, yes, but they're a pain in the neck too! They wake people in
midnight singing to brides in the day before their wedding, for example.
They walk the streets disguised as minstrels not only in carnival time. They
miss classes when they have to rehearse their music. In my country, there's
a sentence: the good tuno is the dead tuno.
I mean, if I present my players with a Tuna cabal of occultists, it could be
a very funny game, not a frightening one. But the Tuna could be exotic if
you don't know it well (or if you are a tuno UA GM :-)
Well, that's my opinion. But some months ago was released a Spanish film
called Tuno Negro in which a masked tuno was a killer. I haven't seen the
movie, but maybe a lonely occultist tuno could be more frightening than a
complete cabal.

Best
Gus
