<p>ok so admit it you'd love to be in one, too.</p>

<p>I'm just curious of which colleges are known to have some. I only know of 2:</p>

<p>Yale - the skulls (skulls and bones) anyone?
UVA</p>

<p>I watched a documentary on the history channel about secret societies. They talked about 'skull and bones' and the knights templar and the Bavarian Illuminati and the free masons and so on. </p>

<p>I am now obsessed with the free masons and conspiracy theories. Yea...</p>

<p>Really interesting. Recommend it.</p>

<p>That Wikipedia page only lists 4 UVA secret societies. There are many more than those.</p>

<p>If they're truly secret, you wouldn't know about them, would you????</p>

11

<p>Michigan has one.</p>

12

<p>wikipedia is very incomplete. My alma mater had numerous ones, and its not on the list. It's a small liberal arts college that isn't really on the national radar.</p>

13

<p>linkinpark14:</p>

<p>I just bought a book that I am going to read called "Freemasons:Inside the World's Oldest Secret Society" by H. Paul Jeffers</p>

<p>The title isn't actually true, because that would be the Knights Templar, which was later formed into both the Freemasons and Bavarian Illuminati sects. However, I guess the Knights Templar were techinically older Freemasons, so you can say that any free-thinking secret society back in the day is a freemason.</p>

<p>Really have no idea though. I should really start reading it. Out of the shelf of books about freemasonry, this looked the most interesting.</p>

19

<p>how can you have just one single one at a college. woudnt it be so much cooler to have rivals???......</p>

<p>christalena, lemme know how that book goes :)</p>

<p>how does one go about starting a "Secret Society?" because i think it would be fun to start my own one day where ever i decide to go.</p>
