<p>So, I was reading this article on the Quill and Dagger and found it quite interesting. How exactly do they "tap" new members?</p>
<p>lmao I love this subject</p>
<p>A "tap" is a simple, quick, and stealthy backhand flick of the wrist into a target's testicular region.</p>
<p>it sounds like secret society membership hurts. at least they dont use sticks.</p>
<p>I remember reading that they just either tap you on the back twice or say "You have been invited to the so called Skull and Bones, would you like to join" (or something like that) for Skull and Bones (at Yale). But ouch! Quill and Dagger's selection process hurts.</p>
<p>i wonder what they mean with tap
is it a swift flick of the wrist or is it a very firm swat ?</p>
<p>i want to be part of the coolness lol i was looking around and found that it was the first ivy league society to open membership to women...pretty cool! and the people who have been part of it are in the list of “The 100 Most Notable Cornellians” !!!!! pretty awesome ;) hmmm…I wonder how they find people…</p>

Dear Uncle Ezra,
A friend of mine recently got "tapped" for the Sphinx Head Senior Honorary Society. She can't tell me anything about it since it's secret but I thought I'd do some research by myself. All she said is that it is the older of the two secret societies at Cornell, Quill and Dagger being the other one. I decided to search your archives and you say Sphinx Head is a society for only male athletes! But this can't be the case because my friend is a woman and not even an athlete. I also saw an article in the alumni magazine recently that talked about Sphinx Head having women in it but that one wasn't for just atheletes either! Am I just completely crazy...? What's going on and is my friend involved in something strange or something good (she says she loves it though...)? How much can you or she tell me without betraying the secrecy? -Secretly Searching</p>
<p>Dear Secretly Searching,</p>
<p>You are a good friend to be concerned about your friend's well being. When any group keeps its inner-workings private, the lack of understanding can sometimes make others nervous, even when the group's mission is benign and charitable. It is not surprising that your friend is happy to be part of this organization, and not because she's been brainwashed by a cult, but because it's quite an honor. Sphinx Head Senior Honor Society is a group that recognizes members of the Cornell senior class who have given their time and passion to the university during their 4 years here. It is the university's oldest secret senior honor society, founded in 1890 by a group of senior males. Since that time, the society has grown to incorporate males and females. The society's goal is to quietly uplift the Cornell community. Membership is diverse, representing all segments of the student population, and all members serve as leaders in their respective Cornell communities. While the membership of Sphinx Head is public, society business is private. </p>
<p>I hope this lessens your fears, and gives you great pride in your friend's achievements here at Cornell. Due to their secret nature,
I'm unable to reveal any more. </p>
