Bones and Skulls Secret Society

Did you read about the secret elite society in Yale Ivy League? Both John Kerry and President George W. Bush are a member of the secret society.
Quite interesting.

Since then, it has chosen or "tapped" only 15 senior students a year who become patriarchs when they graduate -- lifetime members of the ultimate old boys' club.

Robbins says the cast of the initiation ritual is right out of Harry Potter meets Dracula: “There is a devil, a Don Quixote and a Pope who has one foot sheathed in a white monogrammed slipper resting on a stone skull. The initiates are led into the room one at a time. And once an initiate is inside, the Bonesmen shriek at him. Finally, the Bonesman is shoved to his knees in front of Don Quixote as the shrieking crowd falls silent. And Don Quixote lifts his sword and taps the Bonesman on his left shoulder and says, ‘By order of our order, I dub thee knight of Euloga.’"
Type in "bones and skulls" in Google and you'll find plenty of info.
Secret society...ivy league...wealthiest and powerful members....something you find in a movie.

Yup, The Skulls was a pretty good movie. I believe crap like that exists too. How else would a jerk-off like George W. become president? I wish there were other secret societies that weren't so self-serving, like super-heroes! Unfortunately in real life it's like the reporter student in The Skulls said, "If it's secret, then it can't be good."
