4. Secret Society at Yale

Been around for years. They have their own meeting house, very secrative. Supposedly whatever goes on there is to remain secret-sort of like Masonic rituals. At one time, I heard, they had Geronimo's skull there, but I hope that is just a myth. They had a special about Skull and Bones on the History Channel a while back, and this is where I got the information.

The second link has tons of info, but I cannot vouch for the veracity of the site. Prolly best to google S&B yourself and dive right in--and take a roll of Reynold's Wrap with you!

8. hehe check this

Initiation rite

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.'
According to Robbins, the Bonesmen take on secret and occultish names such as Magog and Boaz. Robbins claims Magog was the name traditionally given to the member with the most sexual experience, such as (incredibly) Bush Sr. In a telling anecdote related for the Atlantic Monthly, Robbins wrote:

George W. was not assigned a name but invited to choose one. According to one report, nothing came to mind, so he was given the name Temporary, which, it is said, he never bothered to replace; Temporary is how Bush's fellow Bonesmen know him today.

9. Or check this part right here lol :

The Official Statement
TIME: Did you have any qualms, say, about joining an elite secret club like Bones?
BUSH: No qualms at all. I was honored. I was fairly nonchalant. I didn't view it as a great heritage thing. I didn't take it all that seriously.
TIME: Demystify it a bit for those who might think it's a cross between a Masonic Lodge and the Trilateral Commission. Did your father show up for your initiation, like your grandfather showed up for his?
BUSH: Without revealing all the great secrets? I got a few of my old club mates who could demystify it right off the bat. My dad didn't tap me. Someone a year ahead of me tapped me. There was an entry celebration. I can't remember whether my dad showed up or not. I don't think so.

10. the Devil's Lair

or, something that some people imagine to be a haven of conspiracy equivalent to a prestigious country club, just filled with the college kind of late adolescents rather than the corporate office kind.
