<p>yeah these threads barely last longer than a day on this board.</p>

<p>Skull and Bones is a joke - there are several, far more secretive groups on the Yale campus who have a lot more money than Skull and Bones, and few people know about them</p>

<p>what happens if you get tapped to be in more than one secret society?</p>

8

<p>they kill you and hide the body</p>

<p>what happens if you get tapped to be in more than one secret society?</p>

<p>With the most secretive, only you would ever know that this happened.</p>

<p>i asked the admin officer who visited my hs and he implied that he was part of one of those and said its basically just a place to meet people. who knows, it may just be a club for the elite. btw there is a mausoleum on campus next to the presidents office that houses one such secret society. It has a very distinct architecture and is easily recognizable.</p>

11

<p>Well, I’d hardly call it just a place to meet people. Both presidental candidates were in skull and bones, and many before them.</p>

12

<p>its the network to end all networks. basically thats it. its a place to meet people and make connections, the funny thing is that the people tapped for such societies are usually the people who don’t need a club to have connections.</p>

13

<p>My sister is in a secret society and she loves it- and most of the time they aren’t secret. Its basically just another co-ed fraternity where a group of students meet a few times a week</p>

14

<p>Some of them are more secret than others… the older ones have meeting places on the Yale campus that are secret rooms with no windows, but some newer ones do not.</p>

15

<p>If the club were really that secret, would your family even know you were involved in it?</p>

16

<p>In the most secretive ones, probably not.</p>

17

<p>nobody answered the question as to what you do if youre tapped into more than one society…</p>

18

<p>Well, no one would necessarily know but you, so it could be up to you as to whether to join one, two, or none.</p>

19

<p>I’m sure that there would be schedualing conflicts that would eventually catch up with you- and if you were cought in more than one, you would probably be kicked out of all of them</p>

<p>lol, sort of like applying ed to a few schools</p>
