Purpose

Pass the knowledge of haiku to the young women of Ba Sing Se

The 5-7-5 Society is an organization of young women who specialize in the art of poetry, with a focus on Haiku. Taught by the strict and disciplined Madame Macmu-Ling, only the wealthy young ladies of Ba Sing Se are allowed to join the group. The society even has a guard who throws out people unworthy of the art. They have poetry meetings, in which haikus are recited by each member. In addition to practicing haiku, the girls also enjoy tea and garden parties.
From nick.com

In The Tales of Ba Sing Se, Sokka impresses the young ladies by throwing out a few witty haiku, outdoing Madame Macmu-Ling herself. After getting slightly too cocky, Sokka mistakenly adds a sixth syllable to his last haiku, causing him to be thrown out of the building.
