^ Not really.

I mean, every secret society has ritual/rite associated with it, but that's really no different from any fraternity.

I suspect Skull & Bones is nothing more than a fraternity for the elite of society that don't want to be in a fraternity with us 'barbarians' and want to bring those like them into the fold.
The only reason there is the idea of conspiracy is that when political families/wealth and secrecy show up, our knee jerk reaction is "THAT THAR GUVMENT IS UP TO NO STINKIN' GOOD". Conspiracy theories surrounding things like Skull & Bone all have these elaborate schemes to explain phenomena that are very easily explained by the politics of a nation.
The two aren't necessarily exclusive, but it is incredibly likely they are.
Frat's a frat.
