Arguably the world's most secretive college fraternity, Skull and Bones was founded at Yale University in 1832 and counts some of America's most powerful and influential citizens among its alumni; George W. Bush and John Kerry are both members. Also known as "The Order of Death," the society inducts 15 upcoming seniors for the year prior to their graduation and requires them to take a solemn vow of secrecy.
The most likely new member is from a family with longstanding ties to Skull and Bones and is someone who is energetic, resourceful, political, and above all else, willing to sacrifice his independence for the order's mysterious "common goal." Although some insist Skull and Bones is responsible for running America, others simply believe it to be an illustrious old boys' network.
