<p>Hey, i just saw the movie The Skulls and The Skulls II. I know a lot of it is probably Hollywood fiction, but can anyone tell me about secret societies at Yale? Do they exist? Myths? Fact? Fiction? Anything? Just curious.</p>

<p>Thanks</p>

<p>yeah, skull and bones. Bush was in it.</p>

3

<p>and so is kerry.</p>

4

<p>There was a Skulls II?</p>

<p>It's not quite so secret anymore now is it?</p>

5

<p>Of course it is. What do you know about it other than that it exists?</p>

6

<p>Skulls and Bones is not the only secret society here...there is also Scroll and Key, Snake and Book, and lots of obscure ones...since they are pretty secret, not much is known beyond rumors about their taps and when they are thought to meet. I remember an article in the Herald a while ago you could probably find online if you're interested.</p>

<p>The tombs on campus are pretty creepy.</p>

<p>I like the secret societies, they are interesting (and elitist)!</p>

<p>no one here takes them too seriously. skull and bones is the only one worth being curious about--and yet they have the most boring tomb of all! some of them have really beautiful buildings that look like something out of ancient egypt...but s&b is just a slab of concrete.</p>

12

<p>I wonder what they do with all that water...</p>

13

<p>What about the Knights Templar?</p>

14

<p>Were the movies actually shot in Yale?</p>

<p>What happens in Skulls 2?</p>
